Thermaltake AH T600 Review - it's a BONKERS case! [w/ timelapse build]

[@BenK12345]

man, your cable management is ON POINT.. holy carp! :) nice work

[@KitGuruJames]

Thanks. I had to spend a lot of time on it and still wasnt 100 percent happy. 😁

Hello, I have this incredible attack helicopter case and it really is SUPER thick steel and solid. When you showed the movement side to side flex at the 16:05 (Time) in the video. You have forgotten to install the (2) long installation bolts that extend into the Case Expansion Slots section from the single solid steel column post. If you look at the steel column you will see the (2) holes. You may have uninstalled them when removing the motherboard's sliding panel but rest assured, after they are bolted back into place the case will not move from side to side. I do agree with the open back design but realistically any child could also simply open the glass doors. THIS CASE IS EXTREMELY HEAVY DUTY AND SOLID and James is on Point that it's a BONKERS case. I enjoyed your review !!

[@AnimatorElite]

I also have this exact case, the cable manangment was HELL!

[@Belznis]

Looks good, probably a good thing for smaller rooms with hotter temperatures. In a dusty environment cleaning would have to be done very often probably, so I would not pick an open chassis like that. I am also scared that open cases like these are more prone to accidents. Someone drops something inside or spills by accident etc. Otherwise I loved the music accompanying the build, a great video indeed.

[@mantownmedia78]

I just bought this case and the bold design is why I transferred the parts from gaming pc - Lian Li Dynamic to this one - for now I call it Airwolf 1987 (look up the show from the 80s for you young kids!). Agree with your comments after spending the last 8 hrs working on it - cable management is key. Also agree with your comment about making it more rigid on the back, but it would probably add more weight to an already heavy case unless you had a light structural support bar. Overall - my teenage kids also thought it was a bit over the top - but for me, this is a show piece and a nod to the 80s. I will build another pc in the Lian Li - and it has been a great platform as well. I am going to start my first watercooling pc SO i need to save up $$$.

[@KitGuruJames]

I used to love Airwolf!

[@mantownmedia78]

@@KitGuruJames I am thinking of adding a pilot with helmet action figure to the cockpit area - also a huge fan of Top Gun - Maverick. I looked for a jet pilot - bobblehead but no luck :( I doubt that there would be an Airwolf pilot - String Hawk out there either.

[@redrock425]

They went to a lot of effort designing this. I wish case would just design a case starting with the hardware in the best cooling configuration then design a case around that layout.

[@jonathanellis6097]

I applaud Thermaltake for trying something different. It's not really to my taste, the design is a bit to fussy. I am sure some will love it though. Nice to see something different.

[@coolgun2011]

It may not shake that much once you install the side glass panel in. Thumbs up on your cable management. Definitely 1 of the best.

[@zeekyaw]

It was a joy to watch you work on the cable management, it looks clean. For the case itself, it's massive but space is not well utilized.

[@lultharion]

Cable management is sweet great job, thanks for the review :)

[@hairybanana4944]

Just save me some bucks buying that 👌 Dynamic XL going to my cart. Great review as always!! Keep it up. 🔥

[@KitGuruTech]

glad to hear it

[@AnkitGarg]

Thanks for the review. Haan you install 3 SSDs and 2 HDDs in this case by moving the SSD brackets to the front? I can't find this information anywhere on the internet.

[@jeffreypaul9428]

That would not fit on my desk. A+ on the cable management as well!

[@simonlings8585]

Now that's cable management :)

[@ghst4156]

Thx bro i was looking for a build for ah t600

[@hanh3043]

just wondering, when you mentioned that the case is kind of wobbly around 16:12, is it because the tempered glass panel is not on, which will provide additional stability to the case?

[@Reyfox1]

A couple of questions... no power supply filter? Also, the AIO, can the bezel be rotated? The reason for asking... if you have the in and out ports to the pump block were facing up, the hoses could be up over the radiator fans instead of across them. Yes, the case is different, but not for me.

[@KitGuruJames]

There is no vent for the power supply below, it must be installed with the fan facing up, so no filter. Unfortunately the AIO pump bezel cannot be rotated, so its either tubes across fans or TT logo not the correct way up :)

[@philhemenway3503]

Nice work KG!

[@JoseRodriguez-ge6pp]

Nice review and build. It's so refreshing to see something else that isn't or doesn't look like a 011. Not a big fan of the small three windows but I guess that could be easily modded.

[@happy......]

one fo the best reviews for pc cases on youtube!

[@PsyloOfficial]

Great review. thank you .. i ordered the white one. and ill be doing same as yours with the TT gear. thank you

[@SouLAssassin_]

I have a question everything is placed on the left of the case so it’s viewed on the left side of the case is it possible to rotate the mounts so it is installed on the right and viewed from the right?

[@dragon47208]

I love it and getting it for my beast build. 3090 with Ryzen 9 5950x and 64gb ram, maybe 128

[@markcumbriauk]

Great Review James, as always

[@davislittlepage9458]

How did you refix the pcie card slot vertical? I can't find a way to make it fit right for me.

[@cam6740]

Beast looking case, would be cool to mount one up but dont think it'd be a case to use.

[@mediacenterpc1]

That case is a monster!

[@chrishexx3360]

I just can't imagine there is a massive market out there for PC attack helicopters, it's certainly not to my tastes. My next case is the Dynamic XL but getting all the parts in stock to start building is a pain right now. Your review and build quality is great, cable management was ultra professional, I've enjoyed all your content. Keep it up James.

[@presenceaboveall7882]

hello nice vid, can i put in a 200mm fan? and does it come with preinstalled fans?

[@ShaneeyLX]

@KitGuruTech can you do a review on the ah t200 is a baby version of this case

[@Kryojenix]

16:00 It's earthquake-proof

[@Arashmickey]

GET TT CHOPPAH!

[@verios44]

The issue here is this is a showcase piece. Its designed to be used on a showroom floor and thats about it. I personally would never use a open case as a daily driver. Also the “attack helicopter” theme isnt good. Could have done alot better in the theming department.

[@MustardGamings]

Not to mention so many danm screws you have to remove to put it together

[@Ang3l-of-M3rcy]

Ok, Themaltake should redesign or improve upon this case yes. Like add a side panel to the sides and back.

[@casualonemmo-player2167]

It seems that, f.ex lets say one of the fans at the front stops working due to a faulty bearing... in order to replace it, you have to remove multiple other items first... which could be a huge job, depending.. wish the entire front fan section could be lifted out vertically after removing the "cockpit housing".

[@Emperor-2029]

i see there is not tray for HDD, do you know why?

[@KitGuruTech]

anyone looking for something just like this - or is it just not to your taste?

[@darudesandstorm7002]

the aesthetics aren't to my liking but putting them aside, it doesn't seem to be a case worth considering. minimal cable cutouts for e-atx mobo+radiator combo, the lack of grommets in the cable cutouts, no bracing in the rear, no cover plate for the wiring, no psu shroud etc are all signs that they didn't really put too much thought into the practical design elements of the case. glad to see companies that are willing to give honest reviews instead of a 'review' that basically amounts to an ad. keep up the good work!

[@garethevans9789]

To put it bluntly... The design seems dumb to me. Having fans in the front and open sides and back will mean a lot of the air will leak out the sides. They could have done something interesting such as vents to pull in cool air straight to the top-panel, or swinging bracket to allow radiators to be fitted to the back. or they could allow the motherboard to be rotated so the back is facing the top. They could have done more for the bottom of the case to allow some radiators to be fitted. The people that buy this would have more money than sense, so I guess function isn't a priority. It is unique, I'll give it that. I'll give it 3 days before it needs cleaning (and yeah I agree, the cable management could have been better). I guess I'm not the target market as Il still to my Define XL R1 (from 2011). Zero RGB (even the power LED has been dimmed). I want a new case, I just haven't seen one that ticks enough boxes: Enclosed PSU shroud to contain 4-6 hard drives (that includes not leaving the bottom open to bounce noise off wooden floors. No line of sight from fans to my ears, with a sealed top panel (in case I spill a drink on my desk). I'd actually like to see a similar setup for the top fans as the XL (it has a 180mm top fan angled to direct air out the back), but instead allow 2 or 3 140mm fans/ radiator to direct air out the back. Plus, I'd prefer to have the option to mount fan(s) on the side panel pointing at the GPU to help it breathe rather than glass. The case is actually working well, even on a hot day (hi from sunny London) the 3950x is boasting above 4.5ghz one 8 of the cores and some of those hitting 4.6ghz. This is air-cooled with a D14 (with more powerful fans, they only hit 1,400rpm), the case fans everywhere! (4x140mm, 2x120mm plus the 180 and PSU) haven't hit 1,000rpm today. So I guess it's fine, but just fine is never enough.🤔 /cool story

[@waynewilliams8815]

I like it. Anything different than a boring old rectangle box is welcomed by me.

[@whocares0503]

I am always leary of boutique type cases. I am currently using the Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL. Even that large case handles 1600watt psus and EATX mbs OKAY at best... Still waiting for a case that does both GREAT at less that +/- $200... Being interesting looking is a plus good cooling is a must.

[@waudley]

you forgot to use the stablizer screws to stop frame flex

[@mantownmedia78]

Question to the group - how do I take the cockpit (3 tempered glass windows part) off - only 3 screws on each side but mine didn't easily lift out. What am I missing?

[@KitGuruJames]

It is clipped in position, so after removing the six screws you need to pull it from the top to pop it out.

[@mantownmedia78]

@@KitGuruJames Great suggestion and watched your video again. I was just afraid of breaking the tempered glass but it popped off easily once I used a bit of force.

[@YouriHL]

Damn, this is one HELL of a nice case. I usually like the Snow cases from Thermaltake, but for this one I'd choose the black one. I'm not a crazy custom WC user, I just love cases nobody else has. I'm def going to save up money to get this one some day. And yes, I have a big desk. 220x80cm but I'm thinking of getting a 200x100 one later this year. I have a music studio at home and I use my machine for both gaming and producing/dj'ing music with all my DJ/Producer gear :) This would be one heck of an addition to my studio, especially when I'm performing live online (for a radiostation while videostreaming as well). I've always had crazy cases and I get a lot of responses from listeners/viewers on what case I have ;)

[@christophergervacio7036]

[@silentvoidx9267]

[@ThunderKat]

Those power buttons been on top has to be the worst design choice I seen for something so massive on height. Is so hard to add a secondary power/reset on the front for those that have it on top of the desk?

[@Dseated]

With such a large case I would have liked to see them rotate the motherboard so the graphics card could be placed in that front window portion.

[@GabbyTech]

side note, building in this case is wayy harder to cable manage when all fan slots are occupied by argb 120mm fans. SOOO many wires. i hope i never have to build in this case again.

I just bought it here in New Zealand. The side door isn’t on and you can see where the bolts are missing at the rear in this build when he twists it. Someone else has commented above on the missing bolts that go in those 2 holes. I’ll do a video on mine, I got the white one for $80nzd new. So 40 pounds.
