Thermaltake Tower 600

[Squall]

The tower 300 is already an interesting case option for something diffrent, but it is an mATX. Is there any chance the 600 ATX version might make an apperance? I don't think it's long released, ~this September I think it was.

If a case you want is not on PCS's configurator, then you have the choice to buy it yourself and send it to PCS to build into.

However, it will then be up to you to ensure the components you pick will physically fit, as the config tool won't have the specs of that case to check.

We will shortly be listing the Tower 600 Configurator.

We hope to have the configurator live on this link by the end of the week* all being well.

Such a great case! Please have the optional side stand, that really showcases it.

That's good news. Thanks. Will consider it and check out some more independant reviews.

The only downsides of the case that I can find seem to be, the following:
(1) The access to the IO on the motherboard, you have to take the top/fans off to plug things in and out.
(2) Vertical GPU configuration isnt a good orientation for the card as the vapour chamber isn't designed for this orientation, possibly indicating water cooling of the GPU.

Not quite, you have to remove the top cover, which just lifts off, then you can plug them in, you don't have to remove any fans, skip to 4:25

Only relevant for reference model AMD cards as far as I'm aware? PCS don't stock those. Other cards don't have vapour chambers.

Interesting to know about the vapour chambers, thanks. I will look into it. Perhaps doesn't make a significant diffrence anyway in terms of hot spots

It looks like that many, perhaps most partner cards use vapour chambers, the 7900xtx gigabyte for example. So it seems like it may be a problem, this guy on youtube found that it was, and did a (basic) test:

So I think what I said eariler might be due some serious consideration - unless you just tip the thing on it side of course. (as per the video)

There is also this example:

So It would seem quite an important issue. One would want to remove the vapour chamber and water cool it in this configuraton.
