    CTE Case Interior

    Inside the chassis you’ll find plenty of room for a multitude of hardware options.  At the top you’ll see one of the results associated with rotating the motherboard tray.  Instead of having the heatsink access hole at the top left of the motherboard tray it is now at the top right.

    You’ll also find that all of the cable access holes are at the bottom of the motherboard tray while the expansion card slots are located at the top.  Other than these distinct changes, the rest of the case is pretty standard.

    Turning the case around you’ll find an abundance of room for cable routing thanks in part to the location of the PSU.  Instead of having it mounted on the motherboard side the PSU is hidden away behind the motherboard tray.  This is rather ingenious and NOT something that has been done many times before and failed every time it has been used. 

    The main reason to avoid this is to keep the chassis size to a minimum.  This reduces cost, weight and volume and has an added benefit of making your case easy to move around.  Of course, this isn’t the first time Thermaltake has offered a monster of a chassis and, will likely not be the last.

    Along the right side (left in the current photos) of the motherboard tray you’ll find the open area that nobody has found a good use for.  Thermaltake has elected to continue their quest of adding “P” chassis features to all of their high end cases and is using this area for holding watercooling equipment.

    By default you’ll find a solid metal panel used for mounting 2.5in SSD drives.  It comes out easy enough allowing you access to the plethora of fan mounting positions.  You’ll find another hard drive mounting position behind the motherboard tray and is likely the only one you will ever use.
