Interior:

Here is a nice front/side view of the Cooler Master Gladiator 600 (RC-600) Mid-Tower Chassis. You can get a good idea of the dimension of this case here. More on the front and side below.

On the front you can see the 5 5.25 bays and the I/O panel. The I/O panel has everything you might need. There is a USB port, MIC and Headphone jacks, a second USB port, and the all important eSATA port. There also are the obligatory power and reset switches and LEDs.

A side view shows us the solid side cover with mountings for two 120mm or 140mm fans. An optional clear panel is also available.

Here is where the magic happens. Inside the Cooler Master Gladiator 600 (RC-600) Mid-Tower Chassis we have 5 3.5” bays (there is an included adapter to turn one of the front facing 5.25” bays into a 3.5”). In front of those 5 3.5” bays is the included 120mm blue LED fan. You can also see the tool-less mounts for the 5.25” bays. On the motherboard tray you can see the cutout for mounting a CPU cooler without having to remove the motherboard. There are also tie points to secure wiring. Also there are a couple of punched holes so you can route some of the thinner wires behind the motherboard tray. The power supply can be mounted with the fan facing down and a filter is included for this purpose. Just above the power supply are the 7 expansion slots. On this case part of the tool-less release clip is broken off, but it doesn’t seem to affect the way they work. Just think, no more screws to strip in those tiny holes! Above the slots is another 120mm fan mounting. So for those keeping count, that’s 4 fans so far that can be mounted in this case.

Here is a look at the back of this case. You can easily see out the afore mentioned power supply mount, 7 expansion slots, and the upper 120mm fan mount. There is also another cooling grill for increased airflow.

And here is the 5th fan! A monster 140mm top fan! If you mount all the available fans into this case, you will create a virtual tornado of cooling.

Not to be left out, here are the included accessories. You have all the tool-less mounts for the 3.5” bays, a case speaker, the 5.25” to 3.5” converter and all the necessary screws to build this system.

Lets check out the specs, features and build.
