WHat are the major differences between a 7600 and 6500 chassis?

The biggest difference is that a 7600 is considered a router while the 6500 is considered a switch from a hardware architecture standpoint.

Chassis differences are actually substantial; the 7600's use different power supplies that are rear-mounted, so the chassis are shorter and deeper.
