Main Chamber
You need to remove this screw that locks the glass panel so it doesn’t hang around when putting things inside.
Photos don’t justify the amount of space that this case has but the front chamber is very deep, enough for very wide GPUs or waterblocks.
Here we have all the fan and radiator mounting areas with top, bottom and side capable of housing a 360mm radiator or a 280mm.
There’s a large cutout on the bottom as well as slot for BTF port or reverse board plugs.
Its quite common to see people fit figures and statues inside cases like this so here’s an example. Left photo features a 1/100 Sinanju and the right is a 1/8 Rain Mikamura, base included. Most Bandai and custom stands won’t probably fit but its easier to just keep Full Frontal’s Mobile Suit standing there, menacingly.
Whether you’re using BTF or not, there’s tradition holes on the case for cabling routing.
Rear Chamber
Two captive screws secure the rear mesh panel revealing this weird plastic spacer on the back. Its apparently a fillter that prevents the side exhaust airflow from leaking sideways as it goes out the case. The space itself is flexible and can easily be removced when not in use.
Here’s a look at the side of the case in stock.
Corsair should really opt to use the space above for the PSU slot and use floor mounting cages for the drive cage, removing the need for a dedicated cage.
Here is the drive cage for the 6500X/6500D chassis. It is the same for the 2500 and isn’t so bad but having the PSU below it means you need to loop the PSU cable for the ATX/EPS around it if you haappen to use the drive cage.
And here’s the drive tray caddies which actually holds the accessory kit which itself holds the screws and cable ties for the Corsair 6500.
But look at the left photo. Behold the QuikTurn screw! This screw allows case fans to be mounted with only two turns of the screw. One of Corsair’s best innovations to-date.
