Assembly

Since the Thermaltake The Tower 600 provides the cutouts for BTF boards, we went ahead and utilized such a form factor inside this build. As you can see, there are two cable routing openings at the right edge of the 90° rotated board which are in dire need for grommets, as this is one of the main cable channels you would use to route wiring to the interior when using a classic ATX motherboard. Looking at the openings in the rear, you will immediately see the that two out of the three edges are directly accessible, but thanks to the removable solid panel at the corner edge of the chassis, even the ports at the third edge are right there for you to wire up. This small detail is so simple but really useful.


Adding the GPU is straightforward as well. The only downside here is the fact that you would have to pop the top cover off and unscrew the frame holding the two fans in place to get to the outputs, making every change in configuration a bit of a chore. As we are employing a higher-end and thus longer than 280 mm GPU, we also had to remove that partial power cover in the process.


Speaking of power, it takes three screws to remove the mounting frame, which you may then secure to your power supply and then slide it into place. As you can see in the image above, we already have the power wires backtrack behind the motherboard and secured them with one of our signature red zip ties.


No matter what type of storage you use, the assembly process is virtually the same. Thanks to the well-placed mounting holes on the larger storage plate, you can easily fit one 3.5" and one 2.5" drive on it, with their connectors facing right where the is lots of room to connect the SATA power and data wires. That said, Thermaltake should have also added hooks in this area to allow such cables to be routed and secured properly.


Adding that additional 2.5" drive to the small tray is just as straight forward. Here, the connectors are facing upward, which means you will be able to get to them easily, even when the system is fully assembled.


Due to the fact The Tower 600 can hold a radiator of up to 420 mm on the left side, we had no issues adding the TH360 unit there with plenty of wiggle room. To match the color of the chassis, we ended up also using the three matcha green fans here instead of the black ones that ship with the AIO.


With the three reverse units installed on the left side, set to pull in air, the final build looks great. The CPU essentially has an upward channel for airflow, so the ceiling fans should do a great job at expelling hot air that would otherwise accumulate in the top section of the chassis. In the rear, we also managed to wire everything up quite cleanly. By default, the two fans in the ceiling are connected with the wire on top of the green metal body, right across the cable opening, so you should move that into the case instead. We had to wire the fan and ARGB cables towards the interior of the chassis instead of using the plastic cable management clips to stay clear of the two grommet-less openings. Otherwise, you would have seen this cable bundle when viewing your system through the glass panels.

Finished Looks

Turning the matcha green The Tower 600 on for the first time, it is quite the enjoyable experience seeing your system in this layout from essentially three sides without feeling like the chassis is taking up every single inch of your desk real-estate. A clean, white power LED also lights up to let you know your system is up and running.


Thanks to the gentle tint of the glass, you can clearly view all your hardware inside, with all the ARGB glory. For those who opt to turn the GPU fans to face the front, that effect is even more pronounced. In the rear, you can see the storage drives through the vented backside of the chassis. Remember any motherboard and GPU wires will come out the top center opening of the case, so if you have a lot of those it may be worthwhile to find a way to bundle them in a visually appealing way.


Both sides will let the glow of ARGB elements within your cooling shine through as well. The reason you don't see it on the right panel is the fact that there is the radiator in the way of the three exhaust units.


If you thought standing the case up looks cool, using the gray base for the case basically makes the chassis the centerpiece of any gaming environment. In fact, it would even look fantastic next to a TV if you are a fan of playing PC in your living room. Pretty cool, Thermaltake. Pretty cool.
