Announced months ago and already shown at CES, the C750 Air from Thermaltake’s new CTE series finally arrived shortly before Computex. What the gigantic Airflow Case has to offer and what there is to consider, you can read in the review.
CTE stands for Centralized Thermal Efficiency – a design that blows cold air into the case from the front, back and bottom, and exhausts the air heated in the center to the top.

What makes a lot of sense in theory actually works pretty well in practice, I can say that much up front. However, I was able to reveal a not insignificant little problem in connection with this design, and I will explain why I can only recommend this case for systems with a water-cooled graphics card without a stomach ache in the course of the test. But first, let’s get to the case and the idea behind it. Without a doubt, the C750 is big. Very big. A whole 14 (!) 140mm fans can be mounted in this behemoth. It’s obvious that you don’t have to worry about high CPU coolers or large graphics cards with such dimensions. We will go into the exact data and dimensions on the next page, but first we want to free the case from the box and take a closer look.
Unboxing
The outer box is again simple. The artwork only consists of a picture of the case and the product name.
The carton was not of this size for no reason; the case takes up a decent amount of space.
The front is dominated by mesh, decorative elements, RGB or the I/O are not found here. Behind the mesh is a dust filter, overall a very airy build:
On the back, the same game, whereby the dust filter hangs here as a magnetic insert on the cover:
Space without end – when the glass side panel is removed, you get a full view into the huge case:
The right side also has generous cutouts for the fan mounts behind it. In the front, for example, for an AIO, in the back for the fresh air supply of the power supply.
In the frontal view, you wouldn’t guess what kind of space is available here!
The power and reset buttons as well as the front I/O are located on the lid of the C750.
Of course, the bottom intakes are also equipped with a dust filter:
This small pedestal is intended for mounting a water pump or an expansion tank.
The outer plastic attachments can be completely removed for extremely accessible mounting
All the trim pieces removed would probably yield enough material to build another ITX case or two out of it.
Accessories include a bag of screws, a few cable ties, a speaker, and a bracket for a PCIE riser cable.
As with the Ceres 500, the expansion card slots on the C750 can be easily rotated so that the fan side of the graphics card is facing the viewer:
