The FSP CUT593A has a straightforward look to it, where the tempered glass side panel and the unique front part of the case are the standout features. The front panel has many circular cutouts to provide ventilation for airflow through the case. There is a small indent around the intake on the front of the case, providing some depth to the design. These circular cutouts provide the design theme for the rest of the chassis. The top airflow holes continue the theme, while the back does as well. The front panel is the big design draw of the case. It can unclip quite easily, since it is held on mostly through magnets. The front intake has a large dust filter to keep the interior clean. A unique feature of this case is how the side panel is removed. There is a small fabric tab that sticks out close to the top. Pulling on this tab allows the side panel to swing out on its hinges. The other side panel can be removed by loosening two captive thumbscrews.
The FSP CUT593A is an E-ATX case. The measurements come in at 500mm in depth, 230mm in width, and 544mm in height. The depth and height are slightly larger than many other cases to accommodate larger motherboards. This size of case should easily accommodate a wide variety of modern components. The size lends itself well to various cooling options as well. The front can accommodate up to 280mm or 360mm radiators.
On the top of the case, we find the I/O. The FSP CUT593A has the usual I/O for cases. A large power button starts in the far left in the above picture. Generally, reset buttons are much smaller, but this one is rather big. There are two USB 3.2 Type-A ports on the front, covered with a little rubber shape, which the microphone port also has. Finally, there is also one USB-Type-C port on the far right. This selection will provide all that most people need for the front. Behind the front I/O, we find the top panel, which has a dust filter that covers most of the intake. There is a gap at the back of the case, which is not filtered. A radiator up to 280mm or 360mm can be installed in this location.
The back of the case is a familiar design. There is a rear exhaust fan, measured at 140mm. This is an ARGB fan, which can be synchronized with the front fans. Next to the fan, you find the motherboard I/O cutout, and below that are the seven expansion slots. They are all locked in place with a metal bracket that has a thumbscrew. This can be removed to then unscrew the rest of them. Below the expansion slots is the PSU cutout.
Moving all the way to the top of the FSP CUT593A, we find a singular thumbscrew right in the middle. Removing this thumbscrew allows one to slide off the top panel. The thumbscrew is not captive, so keep an eye on it when you remove it.
On the bottom of the case, we find two long feet with rubber padding. These are at the front and back of the case. They lift the case off the ground a bit to create space for air to be drawn in. The CUT593A sits about 25mm off the ground. There is a fine dust filter, which can be easily removed and cleaned. I found the rounded edges of the case a bit of a pain. If the case is slightly moved to one side or unbalanced, then it can easily rock on these two large feet. This was particularly clear when removing one side panel, the case would tilt.
