A Closer Look - Outside

Out of the box, The Tower 600 looks great. We have seen it in action at trade shows recently as well, but it is still something else to have it on our test bench. Thermaltake has invested a lot of time and effort to evolve The Tower series from its square roots to something more unique with lots of 45° angles. In terms of color, while purely subjective, Thermaltake can be commended for not only offering this matcha hue on the case, but expanding that across several components in its ecosystem so you can consider these for your build. That said, thanks to the black interior, your system will look just as nice if you opt for all black hardware instead.


Looking at the chassis from the front allows you to see your hardware from a nearly 180° viewing angle thanks to the two smaller glass panels on either side of the main window. These are all easily removable without the use of any screws or tools. A fairly prominent Thermaltake branding has been placed at the lower center of the interior. Inside the top cap, also centered, you will find a complete IO assembly consisting of USB-C, audio ports, the usual pair of power and reset buttons as well as four USB-A 3.0 plugs. While we would dread the fact that these are OEM blue, they don't look bad paired with the green. While having four such ports used to be overkill, the most recent generation of boards actually have started to include headers to accommodate this many.


In the rear there is a solid metal cover with a center vent where you may install two 120 or 140 mm fans if you are not planning to add any SATA storage. This vent is protected by a magnetic dust filter. A cutout at the bottom is intended for the PSU bay, with another opening at the top, to allow you to route all your wiring from your motherboard to the exterior of The Tower 600. Considering that, it would have been nice if there was a way to cable manage these as well. If you look closely, you will also note two smaller metal covers on the 45° angled surfaces which actually pop off to allow for even easier cable management, as we will see later on.


Both sides of the Thermaltake The Tower 600 are identical on the exterior, featuring vented panels which are magnetically held in place. You may install cooling here within the chassis.


At the top, the cap is ventilated, sporting a dust filter as well. You may pull it off with a firm tug to reveal the two 140 mm fans set to exhaust air out the top.


On the underside of the chassis, there is another easily removable dust filter covering the entire surface on this end of The Tower 600.
