THERMALTAKE kotelo Mid Tower - The Tower 500 - valkoinen

Space is never a problem
Whether you’re a creator, enthusiast, gamer, or simply a regular user, the Tower 500 snow is designed for you.

Modeled after our legendary Tower 900 super chassis, the Tower 500 snow was created with the direction of inheriting all the significant functions while minimizing the overall footprint. On top of that, the Tower 500 snow 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.

Create and display your dream build
The Tower 500 snow’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.

Visually pleasing, totally interactive
Maximize your Tower 500 snow’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.

Powerful cooling performance for 360mm AIOs
The enclosed radiator bracket can be installed on the right side, supporting up to a 360mm All-in-One radiator or any LCS radiators under 399mm. The space is sufficient for a push-pull configuration, with a total of six fans installed on the radiator to pursue extreme performance. The right-side panel can also be flipped 180 degrees to allow direct heat extraction from the mesh and further enhance ventilation.

Say goodbye to heat congestion
The vertical design of the Tower Series products adopts a chimney effect design to direct the heat vertically. With the Tower 500 snow’s reimagined thermal design, you can pursue extreme system performance without worries.

We’ve tested everything, so you don’t have to
At Thermaltake, we always stress test our products under harsh conditions to ensure product quality. The Tower 500 snow 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.

Brilliant airflow & Incredible performance
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.

Blow your world away with 2 powerful pre-installed cooling fans
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.

Choose the way you install
The Tower 500 snow has a new fan bracket that can be either installed vertically or horizontally to house 2 extra 120mm fans or a 240mm radiator.

Cleaning made easy, we’ve got you covered
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.

How much storage is totally up to you
The equipped HDD bracket for 3.5” or 2.5” hard drives can be expanded to mount up to eight 3.5” HDDs or four 3.5” HDDs plus eight 2.5” SSDs for additional space-saving.

Everything you need is located in one place
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.

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

How to use

Install the chosen motherboard (E-ATX up to 12" x 12" or ATX) and mount power supply and drives according to the provided HDD brackets. Fit the AIO radiator on the right-side enclosed bracket if using a 360mm cooler, or install fans in push-pull configuration for improved performance. Use the reversible fan bracket to position extra fans or a 240mm radiator vertically or horizontally as needed. Connect front/top I/O cables to the motherboard and, if desired, install the optional 3.9" LCD panel and configure it through the TT RGB Plus 2.0 software for system monitoring and custom images or GIFs.

Recommendations

For best thermal results, use a push-pull fan configuration on a 360mm AIO, keep magnetic dust filters clean, and route cables to preserve unobstructed airflow. If you plan heavy custom cooling, verify radiator length under 399mm and allow clearance for cable management and GPU cooling.
