Product showcase – exterior
Both solid side panels look very similar to each other. Both are held in place by strong magnets, and can be opened by pulling a textile loop. We’d like to remind you the basic specs here – this chassis weighs about 13.5 kg, due to the sturdy steel frame and solid panels covered with sound dampening material. The body is black, which is the most universal colour. At 240 mm x 520 mm x 510 mm (W x H x D)/9.5 in x 20.5 in x 20.1 in, the size is a bit above average for today’s standards. The following motherboard form factors are supported:
- E-ATX (up to 280 mm wide),
- ATX,
- M-ATX,
- Mini-ITX
The weight of the Eclipse P600S is rather significant (again, it’s over 13 kg), and it does make the chassis very stable. When you look at the top, you’ll see some relatively large vents for the air coming out of the chassis.
At the back, you can see a similar approach, and this should provide additional airflow. The rear fan mount allows for some height adjustment.
Below, we can see 7 horizontal and 3 vertical expansion slots, so in a traditional (horizontal) setup it’s possible to have dual-slot cards in Crossfire or SLI mode. The PSU frame is removable (and held in place by two thumbscrews), which makes it easier to install a unit. The rear fan mount is not fixed, so it is possible to adjust the 120/140 mm fan/radiator mounting height.
When you look at the bottom part, you’ll find feet that have been rubberized to prevent unwanted movement of the chassis on the floor. The provided dust filter is relatively small, and serves its purpose only for the power supply unit. It’s easily removable (pulled to the back) for maintenance.
This allows the PSU to catch a breath. You'll find a standard I/O panel on the front of the chassis (not on the top like in most cases nowadays). That’s a good solution also for people who will put the Eclipse P600S on their desk (rather than under it), as it’ll make it easier to reach the ports. Speaking of which, you’ll find a standard set of two USB 3.0 ports, a single USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-C port (that’s rather a must these days for higher-end chassis), and audio jacks. The top part doesn’t contain any mesh ventilation in the standard setup (there’s a removable cover that allows you to change this situation, but we’ll present it later), and also a power-on button. Let’s continue to the next page.
