Firstly we installed the PSU into the 600T which was a refreshingly simple process. The PSU slides into place and is secured by a tiny bracket and a few cleverly placed metal tabs. We were surprised how stronly this secured the power supply in place – we wouldn't even be tempted to use screws if we were shipping it across the country.
Installing the motherboard is also a simple process as the motherboard standoffs are preinstalled into the motherboard tray. We decided to use a Coolit Vantage CPU cooler for testing which was also very easy to install, in part due to the large cutout in the motherboard.
The hard drive trays are a little flimsy for our liking but once you fill it with a hard drive, it is far more rigid. You can screw hard drives in if you like but it's not really necessary as there are four pins which hold it securely in place. 2.5″ drives do need to be screwed down, though.
At KitGuru we rarely use optical drives for testing as we use USB drives to install Windows. But Corsair have implemented a simple tool-less mechanism for securing optical drives.
The right hand side panel is also secured using two tool-less latches. Opening it up reveals a larger than usual space for routing cables through all those grommets in the motherboard tray.
In here we find the headers for the fan control knob which we have to connect to the three fan cables. The front panel headers also have to be routed through the holes and connected up to the motherboard. Then it's a simple matter of connecting up the rest of the cables, replace the side panels and you're ready to go!
Wow, that’s a great looking case. I love how corsair understands how to design something that doesnt look like it was made for a power ranger.
Very tempted by this.
ive been looking at this for a while now. seems a good buy, if a bit expensive for the materials. guess the design is worth it.
Just what a i need. I am tempted to buy this.
Highly recommended. it is expensive, but it looks stunning in the flesh (pictures dont do it justice) and this is one of their best cases imo.
It looks quite nice, but I prefer their other cases for the enthusiast audience. This one seems a bit cheap looking. I saw other reviews a while ago and was not that impressed. ITs certainly not a lian li.
What is the fascination with Lian Li ? they are so overpriced !
I love this case. our local store has one on display and I agree with the guy earlier who said it looks much better in the flesh.
Having really studied this, I am even more impressed than I was initially. there are so many nice touches, such as the massive array of routing locations.
Is it just me, or is this not £30 overpriced?
Looks like a really good design, price is a bit high for what you get though I think.
Sexy case from an even sexier company.
internal design is excellent, I like all the routing holes. wish more manufacturers did that with their case designs.
