The tempered glass side panel can be easily removed by pulling on a small fabric tab at the top right corner. The panel of the FSP CUT593A swings outward on hinges, and can then be lifted up completely off the hinges. The back side panel has two thumbscrews, which are captive, so will stay in their sockets.
The inside of the FSP CUT593A continues its black color, providing a clean look. The open interior allows for unobstructed airflow throughout the case, while the power supply chamber is kept distinct with a cover. The top panel can also be removed by taking out a single thumbscrew and pulling the panel backwards. This makes installing fans or radiators at the top an easier process. The front panel can be easily removed since it is kept on with magnets as aforementioned. The intake area, where the circular cutouts are, can be pulled away. Overall, accessing all the internals of the FSP CUT593A is an easy process.
From the above angle, you can get a clearer look of the motherboard tray area. The cutout is large, meaning it is easy to install different coolers for the processor. You can install CPU coolers up to 175mm in height here. The FSP CUT593A also boasts cable management cutouts around the motherboard tray. The two cutouts to the right have rubber grommets, which provide easy access for the 24-pin motherboard connector, USB 3.2 front panel connector, and the graphics card power cable. The rubber grommets provide a clean look.
There are three cutouts along the top of the motherboard tray, which will help with miscellaneous cables like fans or ARGB cables. The motherboard tray itself also indicates which standoffs need to be installed where, depending on the type of motherboard you have. There is a slight gap between the top of the case and the motherboard, which makes it easy to route cables along the top and to install radiators at the top of the case. The top can accommodate a radiator up to 280mm or 360mm in length. The dust filter along the top of the case does not cover every intake, so it would be advisable when installing radiators or fans here to have them push air out of the case.
There is one 140mm ARGB PWM fan at the back of the case. It is FSP-branded, but the model is unspecified -- all we know is it is rated at 0.3A.
From the above angle, you can have a better look at the seven expansion slots and the power supply cover. The FSP CUT593A's seven expansion slots are standard for cases. Most of the time, a person only has the graphics card installed here, but there are other hardware components that could use this space. Graphics cards can also take up a few slots, as their coolers can be quite large. As for the graphics card, there is no vertical mounting option. The FSP CUT593A can accommodate a card 400mm in length, which should be long enough for all modern models.
Otherwise, we find the power supply cover in this area with a few cutouts to make installing motherboard connectors easy. The power supply cover is perforated, so there will be some airflow exchange between these two areas rather than keeping the power supply space thermally distinct. There are three strategically placed cutouts on the cover to route cables through. They are placed at important points along the motherboard to ease installing the front I/O connectors. There is no elevation below the power supply bay, so it sits directly on the bottom of the case.
We find three 140mm ARGB PWM fans pre-installed at the front of the case. Like the one at the back, they are FSP-branded, but the model is unspecified -- all we know is they are rated at 0.3A. These provide the air intake for your PC. There is a dust filter along the front to help keep the internals of the FSP CUT593A clean. The power supply cover does not go all the way to the front, which means a radiator up to 280mm or 360mm can be installed here. The cooling potential for this case is excellent, and should provide what is needed for most components. All the cables for the front three fans have been routed to the back for ease of use, which makes a big difference, since each fan has two sets of cables, with one for ARGB and one for power. The FSP CUT593A does not come with a controller, so they have to sync with your motherboard to be used.
Here is a shot at the back of the motherboard tray. There is a main channel for all cables of the FSP CUT593A to flow through. There are a few Velcro straps included in the installation materials, which can provide a clean final look after all the cables have been managed. As well, we find two 2.5'' SSD mounts on the back of the motherboard tray.
In the power supply basement, there are three 3.5'' mounts, which can also be used for two 2.5'' drives. These take up some room where cables could be stored, but are not too in the way. The FSP CUT593A can accommodate power supplies up to 200mm in length. There is enough room to store the extra length of some cables while routing the rest up the main channel or around the side to reach the processor power plug in. Throughout the back of the case, there are multiple loops to hook zip ties or provide spots for the Velcro ties to be installed. There is about 20mm of space on the back of the tray for cables, providing reasonable room for cable management.
Overall, the FSP CUT593A boasts ample space and cooling compatibility for a variety of PC building needs. Take a look at the next page to see how the installation went.
