The Thermaltake Core P6 may well be the best of what the Core series has to offer at its, uhm, core. On one hand, the P5 focuses more on being an open-air frame, but also comes with some limitations, while the P8, on the other hand, is just a massive chassis that may simply be too unwieldy and quite frankly hard to really fill up properly.

In that scheme of things, the Thermaltake Core P6 seems to be able to strike a great balance between being just large enough for elaborate, custom cooling projects with a lot of flashy components while offering plenty of uncompromising, sometimes even slightly over-the-top configuration options.

From the massive liquid or air cooling capabilities to the slew of storage placement options, the Core P6 can take it all without the slightest noticeable compromise. Even if you would fill the case completely in both of these functional areas, you may still install GPUs that are well over 400 mm long, or PSUs of 200 mm in size. Also, if liquid cooling your CPU is not your thing, the Core P6 gives you 180 mm of headroom for even the largest tower air coolers.

The Thermaltake Core P6 also gives you some unique elements, like being able to take it apart to mimic an open-air frame, or the questionably useful ability to vertically mount your PSU when opting for an mATX or ITX motherboard, and the fact that you can wall-mount the whole thing just speaks to how extravagant Thermaltake hopes your build will be.

Turns out, the Thermaltake Core P6 is the most useful chassis of the bunch in many aspects. But all that uniqueness comes at a cost—this case really demands to be used with flashy components and custom liquid cooling to really make it worth the investment. Those who like to build simple might want to save some money and look at more "ordinary" alternatives instead, like the Divider series.
