A Closer Look - Outside

The CUT593P clearly aims to provide a symmetrical, clean look with lots of soft curves. The one immediate downside is that these curves are all achieved by using plastic, which feels a little out of place for the enclosure. That said, it looks stylish enough, even to those familiar with the current case market.


The front assembly that ships pre-attached to the CUT593P is made of plastic, with hexagonal openings and a fine mesh dust filter embedded on its backside. The edges of this panel are sharp and aren't clean, which tends to be a sign of not sufficiently refined tooling before going into mass production. The cover is held in place by magnets which could also be stronger. Behind it, you will find three 140 mm ARGB equipped intake fans. Placing the metal cover on the case doesn't significantly change the perceived design of the chassis, but does make it feel a little bit more premium. The one big difference is the corner with the FSP logo, as this is a bit more obvious with the solid area instead of perforation. Looking at the rear, the interior of the chassis features a conventional modern layout.


Both sides of the FSP CUT593P are made of glass and looking at the one on the backside of the motherboard, it makes immediate sense why. The core unique selling point of the chassis are the embedded, white sleeved power cables leading to the motherboard power connectors, so it makes sense to be able to show these off. On the main panel, there is a cloth pull-tab which is branded FSP. This is a nice touch for sure, but it is a bit large overall, for no apparent reason.


In the rear, the PSU bay is located on the bottom of the case comes with a single set of screw holes. Above that, you will find seven expansion slots, each with a mesh cover that is reusable. A metal piece covers the gap to the right of these functionally but looks a little fragile. In the very top, there is a fourth 140 mm fan set to pull air out the back. Unfortunately, the frame of the chassis doesn't allow you to adjust the placement of the cooling unit vertically unlike most other recently released enclosures in this segment.


On the top, there is a rather large panel meant to complete the look provided by the front panel. This is made of thick plastic and has is perforated for airflow. The larger panel allows you to install fans on top of the metal body. That said, the ceiling of the metal cutouts have embossing for screw heads, which is counterproductive to this kind of setup. You may install three 120 mm or two 140 mm fans either on top or below, or opt for a radiator of 360 or 280 mm size on the underside of the ceiling. If FSP had created cutouts for tubing, then users could have also opted to install a radiator on top of the chassis. The IO consists of two USB 3.0 ports as well as a USB-C plug alongside a pair of audio in/out 3.5 mm ports. The silicon protective caps are a nice touch to keep dirt and dust out of the connectors when unused.


The rounded design continues on the underside with a bottom panel that covers the whole surface. While it does have cutouts, there is really no reason to use this much material and restrict air flow to the PSU unnecessarily. On the bright side, FSP has included a fine mesh dust filter for the power supply, which may be pulled out from the back of the case.
