Corsair Graphite Series 600T CC600TM Graphite Grey Mid-Tower Gaming Case

Pros: Roomy interior and back side panel make cable management simple.

Cons: This case just feels cheap. I bought it to be my case for my new computer build. Here is the start as to why I feel this case has some very cheap features. First off, the main problem I have with this case revolves around the included 2.5/3.5 inch drive trays. These are the removable hard drive trays that slide in and out of the drive cases. There are two drive cases, each case can hold up to three hard drives when installed on their drive trays. So, I installed two brand new Hitachi 3.5 inch 500 GB 7200 RPM drives in the included drive trays during the start of the build. Towards the end of the build I realized I needed to move the hard drives down from their current spot in the drive case. Now, as I press together the tabs on the drive tray to release it from the drive case both tabs break right off of the drive tray and now my hard drive is stuck in the drive case. I now try to remove the second hard drive from the drive case only to have the same thing happen; both tabs break right off of the drive tray. I can't believe my eyes! As I closely examine an intact drive tray I see how poorly the construction of the plastic tabs were made. This is some seriously cheap plastic and a bad design. Even before I started my build when I held the drive trays in my hand I could feel the cheapness of their plastic. I hope someone from CORSAIR will see this and help me out. What a way to start a new computer build!

Other Thoughts: I can see my self accidentally breaking the top and front mesh panels some point soon. Just moving the case around feels like if I don't watch where I put my hands I might break something.

Pros: Big Mid tower, Looks nice without being too flashy. 120mm Fans are very very quiet. Drive bays are wonderful as always. The cleanest build ive ever made by far.

Cons: Variable speed fan... really couldn't figure this one out. so many wires and nowhere to plug them in. MSI Z77 MB so i dont think i was missing anything. They fans work fine i just cant adjust the fan speed manually with the knob. No big deal because i can still control them in bios but it bothers me it doesnt work. No paperwork comes in the box at all.

Other Thoughts: Id buy aanother if i could figure the variable speed fans out.

Pros: -superb cable management
- very wide, fits even the biggest cpu heatsinks
- easy removable dust filters
-great stock push/pull fan setup

Cons: - usb 3.0 passthrough
- bottom psu fan filter is too fragile when pulled, might break and stay loose.
- side panel mesh needs a filter

Other Thoughts: This is my very first build and couldnt ask for more, its a great case! I bought a demciflex filter for the side panel (not sold on newegg) and its perfect now. the enermax cpu cooler will block an upper left fan; but who needs one there!? Did I mention how big this case is?! Its at least 4 bananas long, 3 tall, and 1 wide!

Pros: Can double as a suitcase. The room inside this case is never ending. Cable routing is suburb. I run 4 1Tb spinners, 1 SSD and 2 optical drives in it and it looks almost naked as a result of the superior cable routing it provides.

Nice big and quiet fans and good flow. I don't use the fan controller so I can't speak to any problems with that.

Cons: Not really too much of a con but running the front USB3 cable to the back instead of a mobo header is rather silly.

The white version comes with a clear side and a mesh side... why not this one? Corsair does sell a clear side panel on their site tho'. As mentioned, the mesh side does not have any filtration mesh.

The other areas with filter mesh are not fine enough to filter "cleanly".

None of these issues merit any deductible Eggs tho' the lack of clear side option comes very, very close.

Pros: The internal build is great. Love how everything is laid out, lots of room for cable management, hard drives, power supply, etc. I've had my heart set on this case for quite some time and finally got a good deal on it.

Cons: The cons are on the outside. First, as others have mentioned, the USB 3.0 ends in a standard male plug, not a motherboard header plug. Huge negative in my book. This isn't that old of a case to think that MB makers wouldn't have a header built in. Secondly, firewire? That's kind of an odd addition to make. You would think this had been released 2-3 years ago, not less than a year ago. As for the fan controller, I haven't tried it yet, but I don't have high hopes after reading other folks opinions. So, as it is, the firewire plug, the 3.0 plug, and the fan controller plug all sit idle. I decided to get an NZXT Aperture M card reader/USB 3.0 add on instead. It gives me an actual header plug, Two USB 3.0 plugs, and card reader, as well as having a mesh face which should match up well with the case mesh. But, in the end, I'm a bit bummed that out of all those features on the top of the case, I will only be using the power and reset buttons. Hopefully, I won't run into any other issues. Also, would it kill them to make it easier to figure out the positive from the negative on all the little wires? No documentation telling me which is which, and all the wires are colored, no white or black to tell me which way to go.

Other Thoughts: I'm hoping my motherboard BIOS can do a good job at controlling the fan speeds so that I don't have to rely on the case controller. I suppose if worse comes to worse, I can buy a 5 1/2 inch fan controller to do the job the case should have done... Don't think I'm being all negative. I really love the inside of the case. I just wish the outside features had gotten the same attention.

Pros: Great design, easy access panels, quiet variable speed fans, easy slide out filter for cleaning. A case to last a lifetime & Looks great.

Cons: Expensive but worth it to me. You get what you pay for. Made in our Nations Capital - China.

Pros: Already wrote review for pros, this is a follow up,,,,,,

Cons: Not really a review but a warning. The variable fan controller is not very variable. It lasted about 1 to 2 restarts, then the fan controller only really varies fan speed from the mid position to full. So it's not quite as variable as one might expect.

Over a year later, after not using it at all, I decided to really inspect the fan controller itself. After connecting 4 fans one of them was not working. Further inspection after removing the controller was that one of the transistors for the non-working terminal was damaged. I don't know if it was installed this way or just fried itself.

Currently have a ticket submitted to Corsair to see, if anything, they can do for me.

In the meantime, in preparation for them telling me they want to charge an exorbitant amount of money for a new one or choose not to help at all, I'm going to see if I can rebuild it.....better, stronger, faster....

Other Thoughts: The case, in and of itself, is actually really nice as I have previously given it 4 stars. But now down to 2 to see if I get any progress. Still recommend this case, just be forewarned about the controller, unless they have improved upon its design since I bought mine.

Pros: still awesome 6 months later: does not scratch or dent easily. easily cleanable dust filters. still quiet. still cool with stock fans. still love the way it looks.

Cons: *meshes are a little too wide-mesh, still lets some dust and larger particles in (will be adding a smaller meshed screen to side panel or purchasing a clear solid side panel eventually).

tabs on drive trays for removing drives have snapped off (but corsair has sent new trays\cage for no charge so no -egg).

Other Thoughts: drive trays are supposed to be easily removable for hotswapping drives but the drives have to have cables facing towards the back or they do not fit the cages correctly. this means you have to remove both side panels to get the drives out so you can unhook the cables. this means they are not easily swappable. will be getting longer SATA cables to make this process easier so i can just pull them all the way out while still plugged in.

i originally added 2x 120mm side fans for the gpu but it seems this thing can't get any cooler than it already is with stock cooling. temps only went down 2° with both new fans @ full speed. already reached room temp with the OG fan setup so just removed the 2 new 120mm. nicer to able to see in the side anyway.

GPU: idles 25-30°, full load 40-50°.
CPU: (Core Temp reports: idle 9°, loaded 36°) (SpeedFan reports: 17° idle, 39° full load)
...pretty cool...

Pros: Easy to work with, plenty of room for what I have don't with it so far. As with everyone else, cable management is pretty awesome.

Cons: The variable fan speed failed, as I believe others have mentioned, I'm looking into it further and will provide an update at a later time.

The 200mm case fans it comes with are okay, except the front one failed. While not usually a big deal, just know the fan depth has to be 22mm or less. I ordered a new fan not thinking about this and found out the hard way that 30mm does not fit. Bad on me I guess.

Other Thoughts: 1 egg off for the fan control but not the issue i had with the size of the fan.

Pros: Case is large and built to make it easy to install parts. Both sides of the case are removed and put back on easily, front filter is incredibly easy to put on and off for cleaning. Putting in hard drives, disk drives and the like is the easiest of any case I've worked with, and it holds them solidly in place. Cable management is much easier with how the case is built.

Cons: Didn't have room to put my CPU cooler's radiator and fans inside, but that's not the case's problem.

Other Thoughts: Very happy with the purchase. It was a bit awkward installing the Corsair h100 water cooler but it ended up working out and I kind of like where it's at now.
