The Tower 500 Mid Tower Chassis
Build on Our Legacy
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.

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 4mm tempered glass panels located at the front and sides, serving simultaneous protection while allowing the perfect showcase of your internal components.

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.

- If you want to connect more than 2 LCD displays, please

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.

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.
2 x 120mm pre-installed rear fans were tested to be placed at specific positions to enhance cooling performance, preventing overheating for the CPU and GPU.
The Tower 500 has a new fan bracket that can be either installed vertically or horizontally to house 2 extra 120mm fans or a 240mm radiator.
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.

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.
No more unreachable screw corners or gaps, installation can be a breeze with our Dismantlable Modular Design.
