Corsair has made the 6500 series to make it easier to manage wires inside. This type of computer case has special positions where you can tie cables to keep them in place. It's designed with two separate areas, giving you more room to arrange everything neatly. Behind where the motherboard goes, there's a space that's 30 cm big, which is plenty for hiding cables. Even after you connect all the parts, it's still easy to clean and keep everything organized, so you don't get stressed like with other computer builds. The places where you can pass cables through have soft rubber pieces to stop the wires from getting hurt, and you can choose different paths for your cables depending on how your setup looks.

This case works well with the latest motherboards, like ASUS BTF and MSI Project Zero, so it's good for people who want their computers to be ready for future updates. It's mainly for ATX motherboards, but it can also fit EATX motherboards up to 26.9 cm deep. Bigger EATX motherboards up to 33 cm can fit too, but they might stick out a bit near where a side fan goes, which could cause some bending issues. When it comes to fitting motherboards, this case is ready for BTF and Project Zero types, but the slots for these don't have the rubber pieces since they're behind the motherboard area. Regular motherboards get slots that go sideways and have rubber around them to keep cables safe and tidy. There's also a Velcro strap at the back of the case for keeping outside cables together.

In this case, the power supply sits sideways in a smaller section, and you have to be neat with your wires because one of the sides is see-through. Even though there's no specific tunnel for cables, Corsair added lots of hooks for using cable ties. For storing hard drives, there's a spot for two big 3.5-inch drives that slide in easily, and there are also places to attach two smaller 2.5-inch drives. A nice touch for the white version of the case is that the cables connecting to the front panel are the same color as the case.

As mentioned the case can hold power supplies that are up to 220 mm long. There's a lot of room, about 280 mm, from the back side to where the cables go through under the spot for 3.5-inch drives. This means you can hide extra cable lengths well, with more space between where the drives go and the motherboard area. Corsair also added two trays for 2.5-inch drives right inside where the 3.5-inch drives go, giving you more options for storage.
