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

Pros: This is a solid, well built, well designed case. Access is excellent, with plenty of room for any component you could imagine. Both side doors are easily removable and latch solidly. There is a ton of room between the door and the back of the motherboard mount. Plenty of room for tons of cables. Cable management is superb. I have never had a cleaner finished look than with this case. There are plenty of drive bays. The lower cage is removable should you need it out of the way. Everything is tool-less, so mounting and removal are a breeze. Drives latch solidly in place, and can also be secured with screws. There is, quite literally, a ton of room inside this case. I had seen one in person at a B&M store, but was still amazed by the size when I unpacked this monster from the box. It comes with quiet fans preinstalled. They are lighted, but it's a nice, subtle white led. The case mounted fan controller works well and looks nice. I like a lot of the little badges that come with all my components, but I don't like cluttering up my cases with them. There's a mesh-covered compartment on the top that lets me mount them out of sight, yet still brag a little. The graphite finish looks amazing. I was torn between it and the white. I would have been equally happy with either color. The case looks great, the color contrasts nicely with the black mesh. The overall design has a sculptured interesting look that will age well. It's subtle, yet classy and flashy at the same time without being gaudy.

Cons: None for me, but as others have said this case is rather large. So if space is an issue for you, you might want to reconsider. The only real niggle I had was the lack of instructions or documentation with the case. I had to do an online search and hit up a YouTube video to figure out why the front panel fan controller leads had a weird connector. Turned out it was just a removable protector on the plug. Duh. Lastly, who has ever used firewire? This is a pointless front panel connector for me. I honestly don't even remember if my MB had a firewire port.

Overall Review: This case and it's cable management, along with my Sabertooth MB, have resulted in the cleanest cable-free build I've ever accomplished. i7 3770k Asus Sabertooth MB Corsair HX850 PSU 16GB G-Skill Trident memory 128GB OCZ Vertex 4 boot drive 3TB Seagate data drive Dual Radeon HD6770 in Crossfire Black Widow Ultimate keyboard 43" full HD Samsung plasma TV
