Conclusion
Up till this level, I’ve been very complimentary of the CTE C700 TG, and never with out purpose. Sadly, not every thing is fantastic. As soon as once more Thermaltake has offered us with a reasonably large enclosure. That in itself isn’t the issue. The issue is that they’ve given us a big enclosure with poor optimization of house. The CTE C700 TG is as tall, and fairly a bit wider than my private favourite watercooling enclosure. With the CTE C700, in the event you’re very cautious and particular concerning the elements you select, you may be capable of get two 420 mm radiators, and a 240mm on the backside. Within the case I’m utilizing as my private rig, it’s potential to suit two 480mm radiators, in addition to two 360mm radiators. Each instances retail at $179.99.
Additionally, an examination of the CTE C700 entrance panel with a 360mm radiator put in, it turns into very apparent that if Thermaltake had simply taken slightly further time on designing the outer trim, and the inside backbone of the chassis, there may be simply sufficient bodily house that it might have been potential to position two 360mm radiators facet by facet on the entrance. There’s nearly sufficient house to try this because the case is, so it may have been a few minor design changes that might have allowed this, and actually elevated the cooling potential of this enclosure.
Additionally, the house on the high of the case, above the I/O, is simply too deep. It’s a protracted attain down from the highest to plug in USB units (particularly stubby wi-fi dongles). It’s apparent that Thermaltake’s thought was to hide any cable’s popping out of the highest of the chassis. Sadly, it additionally signifies that the cables they determined to cover from the skin are literally seen contained in the chassis. Any USBs or show cables plugged into the I/O might be seen via the facet panel.
