So the left side/front view of the Hyte V60 is what it is all about. This is the panoramic glass that Hyte mentioned on the packaging and this is the main point of this case. When people take pictures of their PC and when a lot of people put their PC on the right side of the desk the view you get is looking in the side as well as the front at a 45-degree angle. For the Y60 Hyte has removed the pillar on the front corner and just wrapped the entire view around. The top of the case has what they call the crown molding with a thick panel that wraps around the top and the same on the bottom with the tinted tempered glass in between that. Those panels are all steel and for our version, they have a textured black finish but they also come in white and red as well with the red only being available from Hyte themselves. The front I/O is designed for the Y60 to be up on your desk as well with it being down on the bottom edge on the 45-degree panel in the corner. You have a square power button in the middle with a white LED ring around that. There are USB 3.2 Type-A connections on each side of the power button then on the left, there is a combo microphone and headphone plug for the front audio and on the right a Type-C connection. The audio plug will work with compatible devices or if you only need a headphone it will do that automatically, if you need the split connections they include an adapter for that. The square button and full layout is exactly the same as on the Hyte Revolt 3. The main door panel is locked in place with a metal tab that wraps around the corner and a thumbscrew, it also uses small ball mounts to snap into place as well. The front and corner glass panels can be removed as well, but the corner panel is designed as a structural part of the case, so they do warn not to move the case around without that panel installed.

The top of the Y60 continues the same corner design with its plastic top panel having ventilation slots that turn at the corner. This design is continued in other areas of the case and the top panel does have a mesh filter behind the vent as well.

Around the back of the Y60, we can get a better idea of the overall size of the case. Officially this is a dual-chamber design meaning there is an area behind the motherboard tray where they tuck away things like your power supply and hard drives. This back view helps show that layout. On the left side you have the hard drive mounting hole and above that two pull out hard drive trays. Both are labeled on the black powder coated metal back panel. Then on the right 2/3 you have the motherboard area with a 120mm fan above the rear I/O for the motherboard. Below that there are 7 half-height PCI slots. This is an interesting design for a gaming-focused case, normally half-height slots are mostly on servers. They have these in place of where the standard PCI slots would be and then to the right of that, there are three full-height slots in a vertical orientation. Hyte has also put two tabs below all of that that you can zip tie your exterior wiring to if you want. Overall the Y60 is 285 mm wide, then it is 462 mm tall which is used for those unused areas at the top and bottom of the motherboard area. Then 456 mm from the front panel to the rear. In other words, this isn’t a small case, even with the mid-tower designation.

The two pull out hard drive trays are all steel and have the same textured finish as the rest of the case. I was really surprised to see these weren’t plastic, but I like that they are steel. They have thumbscrews preattached that hold the trays in place and make them relatively easy to pull out. They don’t have a backplane at all, so you can’t expect to just hot-swap out drives, but you could if you do your wiring to handle it leave enough wiring to pull the wires out the back of the case when you remove them and swap out drives without opening up the rest of the case. Both trays have the Hyte logo cut into them along with ventilation slots on the bottom and they have mounting holes for SSDs or 2.5 inch hard drives on the bottom then mounting holes on the sides for 3.5-inch drives.

The right side panel of the Y60 would be considered the rear panel, especially with the corner design and this panel has a steel outer finish with a layer of plastic behind it. It has the same tab with a thumbscrew mounting design on the back that the glass front panel uses and also uses the same ball lock method at the top to hold the panel in place when you don’t have the thumbscrew in place. This side panel has the right-angled shaped vent stops in it just like the top which covers most of the side of the case for the blow through airflow of the 240/280mm radiator mount and for the intake fan for your rear mounted power supply. The side panel has a full filter that covers the ventilation on the inside as well.

For the bottom, the Y60 has two main feet which have a hockey stick shape and run the length of the front and back. Both had smaller rubber feet on the ends for traction. Then between them, the plastic bottom has a removable plastic door with angled slots in it. This door gives you access to the bottom mounted fans that come with the Y60. This is the “cold floor” that they mention on the packaging which both fans blow up from the bottom to prevent the normal hot spot that can happen at the bottom of a case below or around your GPU. These are right under the vertical mounted GPU so it should get great airflow.
