Thermaltake Ceres 300 Black Mid Tower E-ATX Computer Case with Tempered Glass Side Panel; 2xCT140 ARGB Fan Preinstalled; Rotational PCIe Slots; CA-1Y2-00M1WN-00; 3 Years Warranty

This case is good for a budget pc build. The front fans are a bit noisy at full speeds, but you can curve them down and you won’t notice them. There’s plenty of room for liquid cooling or for a big tower cooler. My 3 fan graphics card fits well with room to spare. The plastic front grill looks good, but I’m not sure how it will hold up over time. The dust covers are magnetic and air flow seems pretty good. If you’re looking for a budget case, this one will work just fine.

on a am5 last generation, 7900x,ram 7800mhz,m2 gen 5. With 4 fan noctua . My temperature average 30-50 in normal use. Gaming 72 degré max .

airflow is nice and keeps motherboard colder than older case.

I bought one because I wanted a smallish case that could fit everything I wanted without extra bulk. And I wanted to go air cooling only. (I had an AIO explode on me once, and once was enough). And it does that admirably. I’ve stuffed a 4090 (msi gaming trio) a 7800x3d with a Peerless Assassin (120mm dual tower cooler) and even a soundblaster in there. It’s well fitted but not tight. And the 4090 doesn’t get close enough to the front fans to block air flow.Cable routing is very good, but I did have to undo the factory default job and then rewrap it because the front panel IO leads weren’t layered correctly. (A very slight nitpick).I also put a corsair shift psu in it, but I don’t know if it is worth it, as the case has plenty of room for a cable mess (But none for hard drives!... which is fine by me.)I like that the IO is top front, so I can put it on the floor and move it to either side, and it doesn’t cause any problems. And it’s a full IO panel, with two usb a, one type c, and two headphone jacks, so that’s nice (unlike the corsair 4000D).It comes with a pc speaker, and all the wires you need, so good on them for that.I wouldn’t buy it for a dual rad liquid cooled system as it might be a little tight.I really wish it had some sort of GPU support bracket. I feel like that’s a must these days. It has screw holes in on the floor (the PSU separator) and those did work “okay” when I added an Antec GPU support bracket. But they are very nearly too far away, so I’m only getting 2mm of contact (at most.)The front panel removal for filter cleaning is slightly sus, as you have to yank on it to get it open (if the case is empty you could swing it around without it opening). Once it’s full, it’s easier to get off, but it also feels like it might come off if you are just carrying it around, so that’s a bit scary. I would have preferred thumb screws and an air filter that slips out the side, but no.It’s very open air, and sometimes I can hear coil whine from the components, but they never claim it’s a quiet case.So there’s nothing really fancy about it, which is maybe a good thing. It’s just a small, full-featured, good-looking case, with decent airflow.Update: One minor warning. I bought a second case (in white) and had problems with the expansion slot bars blocking the display ports on the GPU. After half an hour of worrying the GPU had died, I fixed the problem by loosening all the slot covers bottom-to-top and nudging them down. It's not ideal, but it's not terrible either. They ought to use harder steel (and narrower bars) on the slots. That or remove the first two bars entirely

For the price point I was not sure I would like this case when I ordered it, but since I had excellent experience with other Thermaltake cases I gave it a try.I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of construction and overall look. Airflow is always my biggest priority and not disappointed here! Great airflow, quiet case design and easy to build with. I would definitely buy again.
