Thermaltake has introduced the Stage 500 TG ARGB, a mid-tower chassis aimed at builders who want to showcase both PC components and collectibles. Its curved tempered-glass panel, built-in display stage and wooden base give the case a presentation-focused design, while support for ATX hardware, large graphics cards and a 360 mm radiator keeps it practical for gaming builds.
Key takeaways
The Stage 500 TG ARGB combines a display-oriented exterior with broad component and cooling support.
- Curved front-and-side tempered glass and a dedicated shelf provide a panoramic showcase.
- Four pre-installed Infinity ARGB PWM fans are included.
- Supports graphics cards up to 450 mm and top radiators up to 360 mm.
- Available in Black and Snow editions; an optional 6-inch LCD kit is sold separately.
Showcase-focused design
A single curved glass panel spans the front and side, offering a largely uninterrupted view into the chassis. The front display stage adds space for figures or other collectibles, extending the case’s showcase concept beyond its internal hardware. A wooden accent at the base and an integrated bottom light strip provide additional contrast and ambient illumination.
For PC builders who want a case to reflect more than component choices, the dedicated display area offers a way to incorporate personal decor without placing it on top of the system. The chassis is offered in Black and Snow color options.
Fans, cooling and component support
Thermaltake includes three 120 mm Infinity ARGB Reverse PWM fans on the right side for intake and one 120 mm Infinity ARGB PWM fan at the rear for exhaust. The case supports up to seven fans in total, including as many as three 140 mm fans on the top panel. Builders can also install a top-mounted radiator up to 360 mm.
The Stage 500 TG ARGB accommodates Mini-ITX, microATX and ATX motherboards, including back-connect microATX and ATX designs. Clearance extends to graphics cards up to 450 mm long, CPU coolers up to 175 mm tall and PSUs up to 200 mm long. Storage options include one 3.5-inch hard drive and one 2.5-inch SSD, or up to two 2.5-inch SSDs.
Connectivity and optional LCD
Front connectivity includes a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, two USB 3.0 ports and HD Audio. Thermaltake also lists compatibility with a separately sold 6-inch LCD Screen Kit. Managed through TT RGB PLUS 3.0, the display can show system information, GIFs, the time and weather.
Thermaltake has not provided pricing or retail availability details in the announcement. The LCD kit is an optional add-on, rather than part of the listed standard configuration.
