A Closer Look - Outside

Out of the box, the Thermaltake Core P6 TG Snow is a rather massive chassis with lots of room. The sheer number of parts making up the case is quite apparent, which requires quite the elaborate set of tooling to produce as well. While it may be part of the same Core P series of cases as the P5, this one is considerably different in the engineering details, bearing little resemblance save the general design and layout.


Looking at the front, a solid glass panel is held in place by rounded corner pieces with the I/O embedded in the case. It consists of two USB 3.0, two dated USB 2.0, and a single USB-C connector alongside the usual audio plugs and buttons. It is interesting to see that Thermaltake has essentially taken a step back from four USB 3.0 ports on the P5 and opted for a combination of 3.0 and 2.0 on this P6. With USB 4.0 around the corner, I really hope brands will finally abandon USB 2.0 completely. In the rear, things look much more like a traditional tower chassis, with the PSU bay on the bottom.


The main side consists of a large glass panel with rounded corners to align with the curved corner pieces. It is held in place by four large metal knobs which have rubber linings as an anti-vibration measure. The glass is 4-mm thick, which is essential because of the sheer size of the panel.


On the other side, you will find a metal cover that comes with six black thumb screws holding it in place. Thermaltake has also kept the VESA wall-mounting feature from other Core P cases on the Core P6, so you may hang it up using a variety of VESA dimensions.


On the bottom of the rear, the PSU bay comes with a frame to slide the power supply in through the rear of the chassis. Above that are the seven expansion slots that may be rotated 90° to install your GPU vertically, which should come in handy if you really want to show things off nicely. In the very top is the possibility for a 120 mm fan you may also adjust in height thanks to the elongated mounting holes.


Looking at the top of the chassis, there is another glass panel of the exact same dimensions as in the front. A white metal mesh dust filter with magnetic lining has been placed here as a simple dust-protection measure.
