The Bottom and Rear Panels
Contents
On its bottom panel, the 600T comes with an air filter matching the vents used by the power supply. To remove this air filter you need to push it, just like it happens with the front air filter and the top mesh.

The rear panel features a 120 mm fan. No technical specifications about this fan are provided. It uses a three-pin power connector, so you can monitor their speed if you connect it on your motherboard, but most likely you will want to connect it to the available speed controller.
One of the highlights of the 600T is the presence of eight expansion slots instead of seven. This feature is only available on some full-tower models, and in fact this is the first time we’ve seen a mid-tower case with eight slots. This allows you to install three dual-slot video cards in your computer, provided you have a motherboard with at least three PCI Express x16 slots, of course.
The slots come with vented covers, except the first cover, which is solid with a small hole for you to route the USB 3.0 cable to the outside of the case, in order to you to install it on the motherboard rear panel.
Two holes protected with rubber covers for liquid cooling solutions are available. The power supply goes at the bottom of the case. The rear and the interior of this case are painted black.
