Review Summary
We previously reviewed the Corsair 2500 series chassis and noted the new modern take that Corsair is taking into designing their new cases. I mentioned that its hard to find your identity in a market where all cases now look the same. And today we’re looking at the larger brother of the 2500, the 6500 Series chassis from Corsair.
This dual-chamber chassis, available in airflow and glass-front variant, is Corsair’s largest dual-chamber chassis in a standard form factor and offers a lot of space to build on. With modern graphics cards growing larger and larger and cooling components demanding larger mounting space, especially custom watercooling, the dual-chamber format has really opened up a lot of built possibilities but ultimately, its the clean aesthetic you get whethere air or water, AIO or custom, that really sets these cases apart.
In this review we’ll be taking a look at the Corsair 6500X chassis featuring a full glass front panel showcasing that beautiful interior of the case. Corsair has also sent their new iCUE LINK TITAN RX 240 AIO liquid CPU cooler and you can see the review for that over here.
Read on to find out more about the Corsair 6500 series chassis!
