Redbeard, is Corsair considering mounting space for a 140mm rear fan, certainly enough room for one.
What about larger top exhaust for 230mm fans?

We're looking into it as we speak. We might release future variants of the case targeted towards specific uses, like large diameter top/side panel fans, etc. But right now the case doesn't allow for a large top exhaust for a 230mm fan.Quote:

Should everything work out we hope to have the case in stores in early May.
redbeard i think your companie's case would be absolutely outstanding if you made some kind of ongoing thread in the watercooling section.. case appears to be designed for watercooling, and us watercoolers know exactly what we want(especially a certain few.. naekuh..) and with their support the sales of this case would take off.. you'll literally have people lining up to purchase these,
much like the TJ07(whose reign imo is much over due)
i think it'd be a great feature to be able to fit a 2 x 120mm rad in the front bottom + a pump and res ontop of it.
dual loops, one 2 x 120 for GPU. 3 x 120 for CPU+NB..
i really like the clean look, and the elevated bottom.
Nice chassis. Imagine a Corsair designed SFF case. Yummy.
Heh the guy on the Hexus vid said something to the tune of 20-25 "key changes." I'm also interested on having a large top exhaust (or intake - e.g. Silverstone airflow). It doesn't matter if it isn't 230mm, just as long as it's big, e.g. 180mm. Since I'm not really interested in W/Cing, it is a particular sticking point.Quote:

I hope you guys change the price LOL! At $300 the comptition has almost nothing to beware of.Quote:

Redbeard, imho you really should change the top fans so that you could mount a triple-rad without even modding the case. Would get you some sales I'd guess. We're not speaking here of a 08/15 case, but one for enthusiasts. So I think such things matter although the amount of wc-setups is quite small.
€dith: 08/15 is a german idiom for standard/regular things.
I totally support this another case like TJ07 would be wonderful and probably a good seller :up: , this case and TJ07 have similar price tag should be a good competition if only could have has this feature!Quote:

Also 250-300 dollars is not at all unreasonable for a high quality case like this that is aimed at competing with the likes of high end lian lis and tj07.
sure, but if you stack like 5 hard drives without any cooling the one in the middle can easily push 75+Quote:

First impressions from the links provided are promising indeed. Hot swap HDD's lots of cable management. A black interior which is an added bonus and plenty of work space it seems for the people who like to go in the cases and do mods regularly.
Make the psu chamber a bit more taller so the psu can go 90 degree instead, and will look more like the TJ07 chamber making it able to put more rads (can you ay another 120.3 :D??) down there! and this would be everyone's dream case :D (including mine)
so many little things that they did with the case that just made it beautiful :D well done imo.
I just realized that the drive bays start a little further down, seemingly to ensure a 120.3 radiator up top doesn't get in the way. Awesome.
Why not leave Lian-Li alone at having boring-looking cases with windows? I don't see anything special with this, but I know everyone's going to buy it just because it says Corsair.
Sorry, I'll take elegance over steroid-pumping humvee-riding cases like the Antec of HAF any day of the week. Especially when it's coupled with so many nice features as this one has, like perfect cable management, hot-swapped drive bays, and water cooling capabilities.Quote:

Why would someone buy it just because it says Corsair? This is their first case. And even if that were the situation, what's wrong with that? If a company has provided good products in the past, why not buy one to support them further if you expect you'll get a good product out of it?
Is the final version going to have the same size side window? Personally, I don't like seeing the PSU, just the MB area. Any option for a non-window version?
Gonna be my next case!
