Thermaltake The Tower 600

[Darksaber]

The Tower 600 is not just an even more evolved take on the unique case series from Thermaltake. It manages to impress with an almost perfect balance between looks and functionality. With plenty of variants to match and expand on this case as a base, The Tower 600 may do more than just surprise you.

Is there any mechanism so no user can pull on the cables?

That looks like a fast lego hack but not like quality. I do expect higher quality even in the price range of 30€ ATX cases.

It's not that difficult to use a different batch in injection molding parts. Or properly colored rivets (I would expect something to be screwed together. Not a cheap 30€ ATX case rivets style)
Cables also exists in different colors, e.g. see all those different colored SATA cables.

Good to see ThermaTake include a low profile extension for internal USB 3.0 header.

@Darksaber I really like this case. Honestly, this is the first time I have fancied a case in a long long time. If I ever see this hit $120 for the blue version and the Arctic 420mm AIO is still $98, I honestly may consider this. I usually don't splurge on stuff like this, but this case really impresses me, and I love that every hole as a dust filter, just makes life easier.

One downside to my NZXT H710 is the upper part has no dust filter, and even though I have no intake up there, just natural suction it gets in easier, really annoys me. Alos, taking the front cover on my case requires so much force it feels like its going to break every time (it never does) just a bit troubling they designed it that way imo.

I am def adding this to my wish list though.

I looked at this case ages ago whern ti was first released, and while its a very pretty case, it 'was' way too expensive. Its now dropped to £150, so maybe worth consideration...

I quite like this layout and it's not too wasteful of space for a display case, but I cannot say I'm fond of the styling - There's something jarring about the inconsistency of the whole thing;

• The paint colour doesn't quite match the plastics colour (probably a non-issue for white or black variants)
• The vents on the bottom and sides are staggered, rounded slots which don't match the hexagonal vents on the top and back, and internally
• Some of the internal vent patterns are round, some are square, and some are a complete mess with a dozen random screw holes blocking holes.
• You remove the bottom cap to stand it upright, which makes it look asymmetrical and unfinished.

None of these are particularly glaring issues, but they all accumulate to an overall feeling of something that's been cobbled together as a jack-of-all-trades compromise rather than something that's been designed to look good, which was obviously the primary market for this case.

It seems like you have negative pressure inside your case. Consider installing an extra intake fan and should fix this issue.

My issue with it is that it looks quite plastic. Maybe that impression comes from the top cap and the stand. The cooling performance is very impressive though.

having used a couple of Tt cases for build in the past 20y, the last 3 showed they are overpriced, incl the HT 20 i have rn.
wenn you pay +200$ i dont expect to see on first glance that a part is tilted by a few degrees, gaps arent identical, parts are not fitting the same on both sides,
too many rubbered opening on bottom of the case, but virtually nothing around the mb for fan/usb cables in a case supporting 9 fans, 2mm gaps around filter media on inlets (not the fan mesh),
plastic pieces that dont match each other in shade of color, and worst, too much case material covering the fan vents..

i probably would get if its below 100$.
not gonna say never buy, but make sure you can return it or better see it in person somewhere first.

@jonup
it will delay, not fix dust entering.
that would require hepa grade filters, not possible with case fans short of turbine noise.

so reducing the dust inside the house/room makes much more sense, and helps everyone breathing better as well.
