Thermaltake CTE E660 MX Mid-Tower Chassis

Thermaltake CTE E660 MX Mid-Tower Chassis

Interchangeable Front Panels: You no longer have to choose between airflow and aesthetics. The CTE E660 MX uniquely includes two completely different, interchangeable front panels right in the box. You can snap on the crystal-clear tempered glass panel for a stunning panoramic showcase of your internal hardware, or quickly swap it out for the highly perforated mesh panel if you plan to push your components to their maximum limits and require the absolute highest possible air intake.

Innovative Three-Way GPU Mounting: Graphics cards are the centerpiece of modern computer builds, and this case lets you display yours exactly how you want. It supports three entirely different mounting methods: a standard upright hang, a forward-facing upright mount, or a unique “floating” mount in the center of the chassis. To make this incredibly easy, Thermaltake includes a premium 400-millimeter PCIe 4.0 riser cable and all the necessary floating brackets directly in the box, saving you the hassle of buying expensive aftermarket accessories.

CTE Rotated Layout and Hidden Cable Support: CTE stands for Centralized Thermal Efficiency. By rotating the motherboard 90 degrees, the processor and graphics card are moved much closer to the front and rear intake zones, ensuring they receive independent cold air instantly. Furthermore, this case fully supports the newest generation of “back-connect” motherboards (like the ASUS BTF or MSI Project Zero). This means every single power cable is routed and plugged into the hidden back chamber, resulting in a perfectly clean, cable-free display area.

Key Features

• Dual Front Panels: Includes both a solid tempered glass panel and a high-airflow perforated mesh panel for ultimate customization.

• Included PCIe 4.0 Riser: Comes equipped with a high-speed riser cable to support three unique vertical and floating graphics card orientations.

• Back-Connect Compatible: The motherboard tray features specific cutouts to support modern hidden-connector motherboards for zero visible cables.

• Massive Cooling Support: Can hold a staggering fourteen 120-millimeter fans and supports massive 420-millimeter liquid cooling radiators simultaneously.

• Rotated CTE Design: Turns the motherboard 90 degrees to create a highly efficient vertical chimney airflow path for extreme thermal dissipation.

• Dual-Chamber Layout: Completely hides the power supply and all ugly cable clutter in a dedicated rear compartment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this case come with any cooling fans included?

No, it does not. Thermaltake designed the E660 MX as a blank canvas for extreme builders who typically prefer to purchase and install their own specific high-end fans or custom liquid cooling blocks. You will need to purchase your case fans separately.

Is it difficult to plug things into the back of the computer with the rotated layout?

Because the motherboard is rotated 90 degrees, the standard rear input/output panel (where you plug in your mouse, keyboard, and monitors) is actually located at the top of the case underneath a removable mesh cover. You simply route your cables out through a dedicated gap at the back of the top panel, making it very easy to manage.

Will a massive flagship graphics card fit inside this case?

Yes. The CTE E660 MX offers an absolutely massive 443.8 millimeters of total graphics card clearance. This is more than enough room to comfortably install the absolute largest, thickest flagship graphics cards on the market without them bumping into your front intake fans.
