Thermaltake CTE E600 MX Mid Tower Chassis
Introducing the Thermaltake CTE E600 MX Mid Tower Chassis, a bold fusion of high-end cooling performance and modern aesthetic that speaks to builders who demand both form and function. This chassis is engineered to adapt as your setup evolves, delivering exceptional thermals without compromising on style. With a focus on versatile GPU mounting, interchangeable front panels, and a thoughtful interior layout, the E600 MX makes it easier to build, upgrade, and showcase your components. From gaming rigs to creator workstations, this mid-tower case is designed to keep heat in check while turning heads with its clean lines and premium materials.
- Three GPU mounting options give you maximum flexibility to accommodate different graphics cards, layouts, and airflow needs. Whether you’re chasing shorter builds, longer GPUs, or a vertical presentation, the E600 MX enables you to configure the interior to prioritize airflow, reduce cable clutter, and simplify maintenance. This versatility helps you optimize performance and acoustics without sacrificing compatibility with current and future GPUs.
- Interchangeable dual front panels offer personalized aesthetics to match your build’s vibe. Choose a show-ready tempered glass front for a premium, showcase-worthy look or swap to a solid, cleaner front panel for a stealthier appearance. The dual-panel system also contributes to streamlined maintenance and dust management, making it easy to swap styles as your setup evolves.
- Tempered glass construction with solid framing combines visual appeal with durability. The tempered glass panels present your hardware in vivid clarity while the sturdy metal frame provides rigidity and protection against daily use, bumps, and routine assembly. This combination ensures your build remains a centerpiece you’re proud to show off or hide behind a minimalist setup as desired.
- Optimized cooling and airflow design is at the heart of the E600 MX. With carefully placed intake and exhaust paths, multiple fan mounting positions, and radiator support, this chassis encourages uniform airflow across critical components. The result is lower temperatures during long gaming sessions or demanding workloads, reduced throttling, and quieter operation as fans can run at lower speeds to achieve the same cooling effect.
- Thoughtful interior layout and cable management streamline assembly and keep interiors clean. Behind the motherboard tray, smart routing channels, grommets, and tie-down points help you conceal cables and maintain unobstructed airflow. Removable drive bays and modular mounting options simplify upgrades, while the PSU shroud helps hide clutter for a sleek, professional finish.

How to install Thermaltake CTE E600 MX Mid Tower Chassis
- Begin by preparing your workspace and laying out your components. Remove the side and front panels to access mounting areas and ensure you have proper anti-static precautions in place.
- Install the power supply into the PSU compartment, aligning the unit with ventilation and cable routing paths. Route the main power cables through the back of the case to keep the interior clean and to maximize airflow around the components.
- Mount the motherboard using the standoff locations provided for your form factor (ATX, Micro-ATX, or others supported by the chassis). Install the CPU cooler and RAM modules before attaching the motherboard to simplify access and cable management.
- Attach expansion cards, including the graphics card, using the GPU mounting options available. If you plan to use a vertical GPU mount, ensure you have the appropriate riser cable and clearance for your chosen layout, while prioritizing airflow for heat-sensitive components.
- Install storage drives into removable bays or trays, securing them with the included fasteners. Take care to route data and power cables neatly to avoid obstructing fans or airflow paths.
- Mount cooling fans and/or radiators in the designated positions, balancing intake and exhaust to maintain a positive or neutral pressure within the case. Connect fan hubs or fan cables to the motherboard or controller as needed for centralized control.
- Reattach the interchangeable front panel that best matches your aesthetic or thermal goals. Once everything is mounted and connected, perform a final cable tidy, double-check component seating, and power on to test POST and thermal performance.
