A Closer Look – Exterior
Thermaltake hasn’t completely redesigned The Tower for the new 600 models, as it still has a lot of the design DNA that made other models from the last year or so such a success. What really defines each new model is the overall size and shape, and the 600 is easily one of the larger models that Thermaltake has released. It’s an ATX case, and it supports some pretty sizable high-end hardware, so be sure to measure up your desktop space to ensure you can even accommodate its unique dimensions.
Up on the front, there’s a series of tempered glass windows, with a larger section up on the front, and two smaller angled sections coming off that. What’s cool is that they’ve used a pillarless design to give you uninterrupted views from the front and an off-angle.
Ventilation is also a key focus here, with lots of ventilation along the bottom of the case, with individual dust filters for each of the vents that wrap around the bottom of the case.
Of course, there are two larger sections of ventilation on the left and right side too, allowing your GPU to get airflow on the left side, or for mounting your fans/radiator on the right side for the CPU. This case isn’t exactly small either, so you can get up to a 420mm AIO in here easily enough.
Around the back, there’s even more airflow, with a full mesh design on the back, again allowing for more passive airflow or even additional cooling fans as you see fit.
While up on the top, there’s yet more ventilation, but this panel is actually pretty clever. It’s a cover for the rear I/O, so below this, you’ll find the motherboard I/O and the back of your graphics card.
Removing it, we can see there’s a big recess here to allow dongles, USB cables, display cables and all the usual stuff to reach your hardware. However, the top cover hides it all for a cleaner aesthetic, with a routing hole allowing you to pass cables to the outside of the case. There are also two fans here, which are removable using two thumbscrews as it’s on an access plate, and these fans will pull hot air out the top of the case, obviously.
The PSU mount is located in the bottom of the case, so at least you won’t have a chunky power cable to route to the top of the case, but there are routing channels within the case too to help you achieve a clean look on the inside and out.
The front panel I/O is well catered for too, with four high-speed USB 3 ports, as well as a Type-C port, dual audio jacks, and the usual power controls all within easy reach.
