Back in January Antec announced an update to their Six Hundred gaming case calling the new versions V2. We did not actually get a chance to check out the original Six Hundred case, but from what we have seen Antec has made some changes and added a few things to the Six Hundred case to bring it up to date. Some of those features include a front-loaded 2.5″ hot swap hard drive caddy (SSD compatible), CPU cutout for installation of after-market coolers, a cable management compartment for tidier routing and a windowed top panel for unique “moonroof” visibility. Let’s check the Six Hundred V2 out!

Packaging
The Six Hundred V2 comes in Antec’s typical case packaging. On the front there is a picture of the Six Hundred V2 and a diagram showing the 2.5-inch hard drive hot-swap caddy. On the back there is a list of features.
Opening the box up the case inside is nicely protected with large pieces of styrofoam and a plastic bag. Also inside of the case you will find a bag with all of your screws, cable ties and instructions.
