Thermaltake Unveils The Tower 500 Mid-Tower Chassis
[Editor's note: you can find our in-depth review of the Tower 500 here]
Thermaltake, the leading PC DIY premium brand for Cooling, Gaming Gear, and Enthusiast Memory solutions, unveiled The Tower 500 Mid-Tower Chassis, the first mid-tower form factor model in The Tower series. The Tower 500 is a vertically designed case with three 4 mm tempered glass panels for panoramic viewing, which comes in two editions, black and snow. Not only does The Tower 500 have a modern appearance, but it also supports incredible hardware expansion and an advanced cooling configuration for comprehensive flexibility.
The Tower 500 has great hardware expandability which is capable of fitting up to an E-ATX motherboard (12"x12"), and up to eight 3.5" HDDs or four 3.5" HDDs plus eight 2.5" SSDs. Built for excellent cooling performance, The Tower 500 comes with two preinstalled 120 mm standard rear fans to prevent overheating of the CPU and GPU. What's more, thanks to its spacious interior, there is a wide range of selection for versatile cooling solutions. In total, up to eleven 120 mm fans can be fitted in the case to aid in airflow.
For All-In-One cooling, users can choose to install a 360 mm All-In-One cooler at the right side by using the radiator bracket, and by flipping the right side panel 180 degrees to allow direct heat extraction from the mesh to achieve an optimal cooling result. For DIY cooling, a custom LCS radiator up to 399 mm will also fit with the right side radiator bracket; what's more, there is a fan bracket attached to the bottom of the chassis, which not only can be installed vertically or horizontally, but can also install two 120 mm fans or an extra radiator to make the LCS set up even more eye catching.
To take your PC's visual effects to the next level, users can also choose to attach an optional LCD upgrade kit at the front bottom side of The Tower 500. With Thermaltake's TT RGB Plus software, the 3.9" LCD screen provides users with a plethora of customizable options such as monitoring real-time system information, or even switching to "weather mode", which will match the weather from the user's set IP address to display their current regional weather. Users may also upload their favorite images or GIFs to add some extra flair and to make their PC feel truly unique.
"Build on Our Legacy" - Expanding on the classic series of The Tower, we combined the best features of the 900 and 100 to bring you an additional selection in between. If you are fascinated by the unique vertical design of The Tower Series or if you are looking for an eye-catcher to show off your amazing PC build, The Tower 500 is the perfect fit!
Space is never a problem
Whether you're a creator, enthusiast, gamer, or simply a regular user, the Tower 500 is designed for you.
Modeled after our legendary Tower 900 super chassis, the Tower 500 was created with the direction of inheriting all the significant functions while minimizing the overall footprint. On top of that, the Tower 500 allows additional support for an All-In-One liquid cooler, support for an E-ATX motherboard (max 12"x 12"), or any ATX motherboard. Users can build their PC the way they want.
Create and display your dream build
The Tower 500's versatile interior is designed to suit the needs of both all-in-one and custom liquid cooling solutions, and it offers three 4 mm tempered glass panels located at the front and sides, serving simultaneous protection while allowing the perfect showcase of your internal components.
Visually pleasing, totally interactive
Maximize your Tower 500's visual effects by upgrading it with our optimal LCD Panel Kit. The 3.9" LCD Display allows you to monitor real-time information and upload any images or GIFs to add extra flair using the TT RGB Plus 2.0 software. It also allows you to interact with the cooling components that feature the same LCD displays. The latest version includes climate mode and time mode for users to expand the usage of our LCD displays.
Powerful cooling performance for 360 mm AIOs
The enclosed radiator bracket can be installed on the right side, supporting up to a 360 mm All-in-One radiator or any LCS radiators under 399 mm. The space is sufficient for a push-pull configuration, with a total of six fans installed on the radiator to pursue extreme performance. The right-side panel can also be flipped 180 degrees to allow direct heat extraction from the mesh and further enhance ventilation.
Say goodbye to heat congestion
The vertical design of the Tower Series products adopts a chimney effect to direct the heat vertically. With the Tower 500's reimagined thermal design, you can pursue extreme system performance without worries.
We've tested everything, so you don't have to
At Thermaltake, we always stress test our products under harsh conditions to ensure product quality. The Tower 500 products were tested at 100% full load for 30 minutes, with the most high-end CPU, GPU, and motherboard at the time of test, while paring with a consumer-style setup, allowing us to test how the chassis performs under real-world situations.
Brilliant airflow & Incredible performance
Thermal images were taken during thermal testing. As you can see in the below photos, we were able to ensure that the cold air intakes and hot air exhausts are well-developed when designing this chassis, ensuring the interior temperature stays low and stable at all times.
Blow your world away with 2 powerful pre-installed cooling fans
2x 120 mm pre-installed rear fans were tested to be placed at specific positions to enhance cooling performance, preventing overheating for the CPU and GPU.
Choose the way you install
The Tower 500 has a new fan bracket that can be either installed vertically or horizontally to house 2 extra 120 mm fans or a 240 mm radiator.
Cleaning made easy, we've got you covered
Covered by seven magnetic easily detachable particle filters, the chassis is designed to keep out dust, dirt, and grime. The quick release mechanism makes cleaning easy and straightforward giving the user more freedom to what they like while spending less time on maintenance.
How much storage is totally up to you
The equipped HDD bracket for 3.5" or 2.5" hard drives can be expanded to mount up to eight 3.5" HDDs or four 3.5" HDDs plus eight 2.5" SSDs for additional space-saving.
Everything you need is located in one place
Four USB 3.0 ports and one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C are placed on the top panel to grant direct access when needed.
DMD: Dismantlable Modular Design
No more unreachable screw corners or gaps, installation can be a breeze with our Dismantlable Modular Design.
Availability & Warranty
Thermaltake's The Tower 500 Mid Tower Chassis is available for purchase via the Thermaltake worldwide network of authorized retailers and distributors. It is backed by a three-year warranty and supported by the Thermaltake worldwide customer service and technical support network.
