On this review, we are taking an in-depth look at the OMEGA X6 Titan Mirror Edition gaming case. It is a Philippine branded enclosure and a nicely priced one at that, featuring a 4, 500 Pesos MSRP.
The OMEGA X6 Titan Mirror Edition is not your simple “slap on a tempered glass and call it a day” chassis. It has a roomy full-tower interior with a shrouded PSU bay for a cleaner look. Cooling is not bad either, supporting triple fan configs at the front, singe at the back and another triple at the top.

There’s a lot going on with this case, and as far as specification goes we’re all set.
Design
The OMEGA X6 Titan is definitely not your ordinary case. Weight is out of ordinary too at around 12 kilograms all thanks to the 5mm thick tempered glass panels.
The X6 Titan Mirror Edition features a strong specular reflection. It’s way more reflective compared to the smoked X6 Titan, which in turn gave it a more sophisticated kind of characteristic.
The front panel IO is clean yet features a lot of connectivity options. We have a dual USB 3.0 ports here next to a pair of USB 2.0 ports,while we have an Audio in and out next to the buttons. The left most side features a fan speed rocker directly connected to the internal fan controller.
Simplicity is what OMEGA wants to achieve with this case and they did it smoothly as far as external design goes.
The OMEGA X6 supports motherboards up to E-ATX form factor. Internals are roomy and clean enough to build without prejudice.
If you are sick of cases with the front panel IO attached to the cover, then you’ll love the OMEGA X6. The case also features top, front and bottom mounted filters.
One interesting feature the OMEGA X6 has in stow is the cable cover-slash-VGA support. Next to it is the roomy radiator and fan mounts supporting up to a single 360 mm rad and 3x 140 mm fans.
The back is just as clean as a the main compartment. We could see the vertical 2.5″ drive bays here together with the pair of tool free 3.5″ bays while the fan controller is nicely mounted at the top left side of the tray.
The motherboard tray side has ample clearance for cables and features an enlarged tray cutout. The OMEGA X6 also comes with a HALO fan that lights up in red. Read the overview here.
Conclusion
15 minutes on the clock is all we need to get our parts installed inside the OMEGA X6. It’s just an easy case to work with but there are small issues that you should note – which we will discuss later on.
If you’re looking forward to build a custom loop inside this case, then you’d be more than happy with the mounting clearances. The OMEGA X6 is just roomy!
Rushing the build process never hampered the cable management but I’d like OMEGA to consider providing extra clearance to the vertically mounted drive bays. This one in particular pushed my PSU’s L-type SATA power to its limits.
Building inside the OMEGA X6 is a breeze, although there are a few thing that you should take note. First off, the cable-slash-VGA support cover. It’s a novel feature, but it is not compatible with most graphic cards. Some cards have important components situated near the PCB’s edges so do be careful. An easy fix here is to enable the cover to slide down or upward via the mounting holes or just remove the grooves completely.
Another thing to note is the PCI-E’s bracket mounting area. It’s too small for motherboards with I/O covers so if you happen to have one with more than 2mm of height then you wont be able to insert any cards without removing the board. You have to install the GPU with the motherboard in one swoop.
The OMEGA X6 Titan Mirror Edition is an excellent case both in features and styling. It is a proper tempered glass case with features and performance figures apt for the price point of 4, 500 Pesos. I am not expecting the OMEGA X6 to be a silent case, nor to feature a great thermal performance. It is OMEGA’s flagship no wonder and it impressed.
There are issues, but those are small ones that could be easily overcome even by the end user. It’s a little shame though since perfection is attainable had those issues been fixed out of the factory.
The OMEGA X6 Titan Mirror Edition is a proper tempered glass case featuring an elegant design and build quality that matches its features. This is a good starting point if you are looking for a tempered glass case to showcase your system.

Sir do yo recommend static fans for the front panel or it is better to use airflow intake fans? I am into air cooler. Thank you!
Go for high airflow fans if you are going to install them at the front. Nothing much will impede them and I doubt you’ll need a static pressure fan based on the magnetic filter alone. I hope this helps!
Is it really x3 3.5″ Drive Bays? I just bought this and I cant find the 3rd one since there’s only 2 of the tool free 3.5″ bays included.
I just got this too. It really only supports 2 x 3.5″ HDD’s since only two brackets were provided. There is room for a third one below, but the third HDD will be left hanging and without the bracket and screws.
I got disappointed by the fact that this case does not really support 3 x 3.5″ HDD’s. I chose this case because it’s not as expensive as the Phanteks ones, and it supports 3 x 3.5 HDDs. Pretty much all other cases these days only support 2 x 3.5 HDDs.
I don’t like the cable management of this case either. I can barely do anything with the cables interfering with the 2.5″ HDD slots. And with all the RGB cables, I wasn’t able to close the side panel anymore (special mention to the Corsair H115i RGB Platinum AIO cooler, which has short and horrible cables). That side should have been steel so that it can bend a bit. I’m okay with bending, as long as it doesn’t shatter!
I also ended up not using the GPU mount, or whatever it’s called. I can’t even insert the GPU into the PCIe slot without removing it beforehand. As a result, the wires behind it got exposed, especially since both sides of the glass are mirror.
I still love this case. I was provided with two tinted side panels for free when I bought it. It would have been perfect if it wasn’t overdone.
