CeBIT: Corsair raids the chassis market: competitors beware?

[Nuance]

Hmm..only one intake fan bothers me, but I'll wait to find out what the thermal tests show before I draw conclusions. I don't water cool (for now), so airflow is important to me.

Other than my issue above, this is a fantastic case!

bump

how proceed the distribution to the different shops?

Better-positioned fans beat more fans any day of the week. That's why the TJ09 does so well with only one intake fan.

^ I agree, which is why I am waiting to see some "professional" reviews/tests. I look forward to it.

I was just wondering how the hotplug drive bays work if you have a 2.5" ssd in a caddy (or loose for that matter)

It won't work if the drive is loose, but we used a caddy (this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817994064) to hook up four of our P256 SSDs in RAID 0 for Computex.

Excellent, I'll definitely be picking one up when they are available in the UK

I just want a solid release date...redbeard?

[breathemetal]

So do i

[Redbeard]

Working on it now, all I can say is Q309 for right now. If I could sell the thing tomorrow I would, trust me on this. I've been working on this thing for over 18 months now, so I want this thing in your hands worse than you guys do.

I could ship it next in 2 weeks with the wrong CPU backplate cutout and a few other minor problems, and it'd probably still get great reviews everywhere.

Or I could fix the stuff, wait an extra month or so, and ship the product the way it's supposed to be.

I want the first case product we sell to be as good as we can make it - so sorry for the delay, but it's the right thing to do, I think.

Got one on the way actually. We're going to be doing it a little larger than that I think.

[Brandito]

any news?

[GAR]

This is one of the best looking cases i have ever seen, honestly, if the cooling part of it is good, i will be owning one of these.

[affiliate13]

Will there be an adapter for 2.5" SSDs for the hot-swap bays?
Maybe i missed it somewheres.

[Terru]

Nope, you will have buy your own. For computex, he used an ICY dock model. I believe he even linked to the newegg a few pages up.

Its understandable, actually. If you can afford an SSD, you can afford a 30$ adaptor.

So what will the final weight be? After having the pleasure of building a machine in a 22kg+ Kandalf I can say without hesitation i'll never consider a steel case again in my life, no matter how good it is.

Hahah, I remember those! I used one for about a year and a half, because I liked the looks online (I know, I know, in my defence I was still a teenager at that point). Never again - nearly busted my back carting that thing to LANs.

If anything, wheels should be added to this case, even though it has some room at the bottom for air inlet, I'm probably guessing most people will have on carpet. If price is an issue, at least give us the option to pay extra for wheels or something. It's gonna be a pain to move once you set it down.

[Jamesrt2004]

ya +1 would be nice to have some li-li like casters

It's a large steel case and fairly heavy, so we're including a small electric motor and tank treads.

Okay, just kidding.

It's an interesting idea - let me look into it.

[Brandito]

NO WHEELS PLEASE!

they look ridiculous IMHO

it's a computer, not a motor vehicle

i think wheels would completely detract from the style of the case, i can't think of any way you could make them look as good as the current feet.
