A Closer Look - Outside

Upon first inspection, the 6019B comes across as really sturdy. The metal mesh is thicker than some variants found on other cases and the plastic does not flex anywhere. The overall design does remind me of the Cooler Master HAF series a bit, especially around the external drive-bay area.


The front is made of sturdy plastic and some metal mesh. The fact that both are of high quality has the entire, fairly elaborate front make a really good impression. Utilizing straight lines and edgy elements, the 6019B looks much better than it sounds. We find a bottom mounted PSU bay in the rear and both side panels are extruded to further add to the overall design of the chassis.


Taking a closer look at the front, there are five drive bays. Each of them is protected by a metal mesh cover with clips on the side, which allows you to remove these easily without having to pry off the entire front of the 6019B chassis. Below that is an air vent for the front's intake fan. It holds a red X2 logo. It may look like it is crooked, but the logo is apparently supposed to be shaped this way.


The top area in the rear is taken up by a 120 mm exhaust fan pushing air out the rear of the chassis. You will also find two holes for water-cooling tubes in this area. Below that are the eight motherboard-expansion slots, each protected by a separate, removable cover. The PSU bay looks out of the ordinary because the case is designed to have the unit pushed into the chassis through the opening. The PSU is secured with the help of the aforementioned PSU mounting frame.


You will find a lot to be going on at the top of the chassis. There are the large, silver power and standard reset buttons and three further controls for the fans. Two of them toggle, which would even allow you to disconnect the power routed to each attached cooling unit, and the third, labeled "FAN LED", is used to toggle the LED lights of the fans on/off while they run. Behind that are the two USB 3.0 and a single USB 2.0 port, and the pair of audio I/O. The rest of the top cover is taken up by a large air vent out of metal mesh. This one's shape and size does not allow it to be used with 240 mm radiators, as has become the standard of many current cases out there. Tipping the X2 6019B over, you will find a simple but effective dust filter protecting the intake area of the PSU bay.
