Cooltek CT GT-04 Mid-Tower Chassis Review

Admin Chassis 1913

The Cooltek CT GT-04 chassis is part of Cooltek’s gaming tower series of chassis. It comes with some features that some will love, a HDD/SSD caddie and a card reader for Micro-SD and SD cards built in. It also has a fan controller and a smoked window giving the GT-04 some good options out of the box.

Cooltek are marketing this as a price vs. performance chassis, meaning it’s not going to break the bank, but it should satisfy people who require a little more from their system over the standard chassis you can pick up from most retailers.

We have put together our standard system, some mid to high-end components and a basic tidy. Before we get there, let’s look at the chassis in more detail.

The chassis comes in standard packaging which is never our preference, but was good enough for the transit. The chassis window is also protected by plastic so it all arrived without issue.

We have had a couple of chassis in the past with a drive dock built in, and for us they are the perfect solution when backing up and transferring files to and from your gaming rig.

It also has some good features to get you going, it's a bit of an all in one chassis with a card reader, an external drive dock and a fan controller all built in. It is not a Nanoxia Deep Silence 1 Rev.B level chassis, but it is not far off for some of the specifications, and stripped bare, you could be forgiven for thinking the Cooltek CT GT-04 is a higher end chassis for a low price.
