help Thermaltake Tower 500 FAQ
Is the Thermaltake Tower 500 a full-tower or mid-tower case?
Thermaltake classifies the Tower 500 as a mid-tower chassis despite its tall showcase shape. It is the middle member of the Tower family, sitting between smaller models such as the Tower 100 and the much larger Tower 900.
Will an E-ATX motherboard fit in the Tower 500?
Yes. Thermaltake lists support for E-ATX boards up to 12 by 12 inches, along with ATX, micro-ATX, and Mini-ITX. Its vertical internal layout rotates the motherboard relative to a conventional tower.
Can the Tower 500 hold a 360 mm radiator?
Yes, but a 360 mm radiator is normally installed on the right side using the supplied bracket. The case also provides numerous fan positions, making it suitable for elaborate air-cooling or custom-loop layouts.
How long can the graphics card be in the Thermaltake Tower 500?
Thermaltake lists up to 355 mm of GPU clearance without the power cover and about 325 mm with it installed. Builders should also account for power-cable bend space in the case's vertical display layout.
