Just like its bigger brother, a very powerful downside to the PA-600 is the difficulty you'll have in finding the case. There are a few vendors online that carry the cases, however for a full list you're better off emailing Palo Alto themselves.
The price of the PA-600 isn't too bad, you should expect to pay around $70 for it which isn't bad considering the quality you get out of it. However if you take into account the expansion limitations, that figure may seem a bit pricey.
You can expect to pay around $100 - $120 for the more expensive ATCX case from Palo Alto, in which case the PA-600 doesn't look like that bad of a deal. Just keep in mind that you're not getting the same case as the ATCX rather a weaker derivative of it.
Overall the PA-600 isn't such a bad case, especially for a user that doesn't really need more than two 5.25" bays. However what we would like to see would be a more expansion oriented case from Palo Alto designed like the more expensive ATCX except without the conversion capabilities.
