Thermaltake presents its Retro series with 80s aesthetics and current technology

The company Thermaltake took advantage of the CES 2026 stage to unveil a product line that pays homage to the past while keeping its feet in the present. The Retro series rescues the visual essence of computers from the 80s and 90s decades, but integrates compatibility and contemporary technical features. A fusion of nostalgia and power. 🕹ī¸

Two cases that evoke another era

The heart of the proposal is two case models that differ in size but share philosophy. Both use a soft color palette and a textured surface that recalls old equipment, while using tempered glass on the sides and an updated internal design to manage cables and install modern components efficiently.

Available models:
  • Retro 260 TG: Mid-tower compatible with micro ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards. Its front panel includes bays for optical drives and a floppy drive reader with retro style, but functional for connecting current hardware.
  • Retro 360 TG: Larger size, accepts standard ATX and E-ATX motherboard formats. Includes pre-installed fans and offers more space to configure the system.
Thermaltake fuses nostalgia and technology, offering visual comfort for those who miss classic design.

Liquid cooling with a retro soul

To complete the thematic set, Thermaltake presents the Retro Ultra AIO, a closed-loop liquid cooler. Its CPU block is designed to look like an old floppy disk unit, integrating an LCD screen that can display system data or user-customized graphics.

Key features of the Retro Ultra AIO:
  • Available in three radiator sizes: 240 mm, 280 mm, and 360 mm to adapt to different heat dissipation needs.
  • Pump and fans optimized to operate with a low noise level, prioritizing silence.
  • Hoses covered with a braided mesh in colors that harmonize with the series case design.

A time travel for the PC

This series allows building a system that performs with today's technology but feels like yesterday. It is a response to those who miss the tangible aesthetics of the first PCs, even though the silent operation of an SSD serves as a reminder of how much hardware has evolved. Thermaltake's Retro series demonstrates that classic design still has a place in modern computing. 🔄
