The Azza Storm 6000 is one of those cases that does not come from a distinct family of enclosures within the Azza brand. Instead, Azza tends to offer various individual cases for different price points with different attributes. The Storm 6000 is part of the full-tower segment and comes in your choice of black or white.

From the outside, the case aims to look cool, with various honeycomb elements and an edgy silhouette. While there is no obvious theme, the design should appeal to gamers who may not have crazy amounts of money to spend but want a full-tower that also looks the part. That Azza has achieved, especially by including four RGB-equipped fans and a full glass side panel.

On the inside, it becomes evident that there is no real innovation present. Don't get me wrong, there is absolutely no need to re-invent the wheel as long as the implementations presented are solid and function well. The Azza Storm 6000 checks both of those boxes. All the drive bays and trays are simple but work well. The internal layout is not pushing any design boundaries, but comes with plenty of cutouts and possibilities to keep things extremely tidy. The front and top can hold big radiators without a crazy amount of engineering.

All this means is that the Azza Storm 6000 tries to offer all the needed functionality by using a proven OEM frame, its own design on the outside, and a bit of the company DNA through the four retail-grade Hurricane fans, all while trying to maintain a price point that steers users toward the case at first sight.
