Product Showcase - Interior

The 6500 chassis series of computer cases have a sturdy design, featuring steel panels on the top and front that you can take off and switch out. These panels are pretty thick, at 3.5 mm, which makes the cases strong and durable. If you're into making your computer look unique, this series lets you swap out the standard steel panels for different materials.

For example, there's a special version that comes with bamboo panels that still have a steel core inside. This gives the computer a different, more natural look that might be more your style. Besides bamboo, you can also choose from other materials like oak wood or aluminum, depending on what you prefer.

One cool thing about this series is that there are different models to suit different needs. For instance, the 6500X RGB model keeps the original design but adds some fancy lights, while the 6500D Airflow model has a mesh front panel. This mesh helps pull in more air, which is great if you're using fans in the front of the case. You can even switch one model to another, like turning a 6500D Airflow into a 6500X by using a special kit that includes a glass front panel.

Looking at the back of these cases, there's a hidden spot for the power supply and an easy-to-reach area for the hard drives, all tucked away. The part where all your cables plug in is smartly placed between two big areas that can hold cooling fans or radiators. This setup means you can connect a lot of different things while keeping your computer cool. Plus, there's a special spot for a fan that you can move up and down and fits both big and small fans. We received an extra fan pack of the new RX140mm RGB fans, silent and daisy chainable with the iCUE LINK kit.

Inside the 6500X, there's a ton of room for all sorts of cooling stuff, whether it's fans, all-in-one coolers, or a big water cooling setup. You can fit up to ten 120mm fans or three huge 360mm radiators, so it's perfect if you need a lot of cooling for a powerful computer. The case design also has two separate sections, which helps you keep all the cables and parts neat and tidy, even if you've got a lot going on inside.
