Complete System


Installing a system inside the 601 couldn’t have been any easier. The chassis doesn’t feel “big” as such, but there’s obviously plenty of wiggle room in here to make for an easy install. The ATX motherboard only takes up half the available space. You could easily accommodate a thick radiator, push and pull fans, pumps and reservoirs in the front with ease.

Cable management is fantastic throughout. However, there are no vertical routing holes in the PSU shroud and a small grommet here would keep things flowing a little better. Of course, this is hardly a deal breaker, just an observation.

The gigantic Noctua NH-D15S fits with no issues, and plenty of room to spare on all sides. You can easily go custom loop here, or mount AIO coolers as required.

The cable routing is neat and tidy throughout, with very little excess on show. Again, this would look amazing with the windowed model. However, it’s still nice to know that cables and airflow are in order with such an enclosed design.

One last look before you close things up for a while!

With all the side panels in place, the chassis is as neat and tidy as when we took it out of the box. End result? I absolutely love this chassis!
