A Closer Look - Inside

The main, windowed side panel is on hinges, which makes its removal a breeze. The hinges' top pin is actually longer than the bottom pin, so you may easily align them, which is a nice little touch.


The all-black interior is simple, but effective and fairly unusual. A large plastic shroud behind which the 3.5" hard drives, 5.25" drive bays, and PSU are has been placed into the Carbide 600C's ceiling. It allows Corsair to include such a large window without revealing the cable mess or any ugly drives. Turning the chassis by 180°, you will see the aforementioned areas and three additional 2.5" trays for SSDs. A large opening in the motherboard tray should give you all the access to a CPU cooler's base plate you may need. Corsair unfortunately chose to leave two of the cable-routing holes without any grommets, which seems inconsistent since it doesn't go with the chassis's overall look and feel.


Lastly, you may also take off the front of the chassis to reveal two more 140 mm retail quality fans behind a removable dust filter. This brings the total fan count to three, which is nice to see.


The SSD and HDD bays are made of plastic. The former are held in place by thumbscrews, while the latter can simply be pulled out of their individual bays.


The two fans in front are set to push air into the case. Their cables' leads are not in the best location by default, so you should rotate these fans for a cleaner interior look. You may also install a radiator of up to 280 mm in size here. In the top of the front, behind the shroud, are the two 5.25" external drive bays with a screw-less locking mechanism we have seen in other Corsair cases before.


In the rear, on the bottom, is the third fan Corsair set to push air out the back. The same tiny issue applies here as you have to rotate it so the cable lead can be hidden in a cleaner fashion. Above it are the individual thumbscrews that hold each cover in place, so you should not need any tools here either. The PSU in the very top - once again behind the protective cover - comes with an opening for it to pull air out of the chassis, which acts as another source for hot air to be expelled.


You can install two 140 mm or three 120 mm fans onto the floor of the chassis. But the primary purpose of these mounting holes would be for a radiator of up to 360 mm in size to be installed instead.


Every cable within the Corsair Carbide 600C is sleeved black and of the default variety. A SATA power plug is used as a source of electricity for the three fans you may attach to any of these 3-pin headers.
