CTE C700 Air Mid Tower Chassis
CTE Form Factor
Designed by Thermaltake
The CTE Form Factor Designed by Thermaltake, stands for Centralized Thermal Efficiency, and is focused around providing high level thermal performance to critical components. The design utilizes a 90-degree rotation of the motherboard providing more efficient airflow pathways.
Since the CPU location has been moved much closer to the front panel and the graphics card moved closer towards the rear panel, independent cold air induction is given for thermal dissipation of the CPU and graphics card respectively. This overall approach has allowed CTE to provide better and more efficient intake airflow through the placement of main components and cooling, as well as optimization to heat extraction from the system.

A Perfect Balance of Aesthetics and Functionality
The CTE C700 Air, a specially designed E-ATX mid tower chassis from the new CTE form factor series, was engineered to provide optimal thermal efficiency and maximum airflow to ensure that critical components of your build are provided with adequate cooling. To achieve this the CTE C700 Air can support up to a 420mm AIO radiator not only at the front but also at the rear of the case. It comes with three 140mm CT140 fans pre-installed and it can support up to a 420mm AIO radiator at the front and at the rear of the chassis. Its dual-chamber design allows users to showcase key components and provides ample space for superior cooling solutions, with the ability to accommodate up to twelve 120mm fans (eleven 140mm fans) inside the case thanks to the front, bottom, rear and right fan brackets, as well as the top fan vent. It also features many nice details such as two different PCI-E slots, removable filters, a pump and reservoir bracket and Velcro straps for easy cable management. Whether you are a PC enthusiast or looking for a custom liquid cooling case, get ready to be amazed by the CTE C700 Air!
Maximum Radiator Support
The CTE C700 offers multiple mounting locations and plenty of room to create your own configurations. DIY radiators up to 360mm in length can be installed on the front, rear and bottom, and for AIO compatibility, up to 420mm/360mm radiators can be installed on the front and rear, giving PC enthusiasts plenty of flexibility to create their ideal setup.
