Which should you buy, Deepcool CH780 or Thermaltake Ceres 500 TG ARGB?
The Deepcool CH780 suits value-focused full-tower showcase builds and E-ATX motherboards, though it is the wrong buy for extreme dual-480mm radiator builds and small desks. The Thermaltake Ceres 500 TG ARGB is the one to take for 420mm AIO or custom loop builds and flagship GPU builds needing maximum clearance, though it is not the pick for small desks with limited space and budget builds not needing 420mm radiator support. Our rating of the Deepcool CH780 (8/10): one of the best value full-tower showcase cases right now, undercutting pricier rivals without giving up much. Our rating of the Thermaltake Ceres 500 TG ARGB (8/10): one of the best mid-towers for 420mm radiator support and flagship-length GPUs without stepping up to a full-tower case.
