CeBIT: Corsair raids the chassis market: competitors beware?

[GAR]

[DragoonXX]

One thing I was still curious about is how heavy the case is being it is steel? Now I realize It's not a lan case or designed for easy movement by any means but I just need to know If I need to put in a forklift rental or if a simple dolly will suffice... My TJ07 clocked in at over 20Kg with my single water loop in it which is already back throwingoutingly heavy.

And props again for going with an all black interior. It looks really sharp instead of the traditional unpainted aluminum. Now get some of these puppies shipping up to Canada stat

lets see...NCIX has a shipping weight of 42lbs for the obsidian
TJ 07 shipping weight is 50lbs
yellowbeard on the NCIX forums lists early sept as his most current info for arrival

Full tower cases are heavy. Even the ATCS 840 weighs 35 lbs. and it it's mostly aluminum!

I'm sure this corsair will be a BEAST. But that's good. I like a solid case!

Somebody PLEASE verify if a second 2x120mm radiator can somehow be mounted on the bottom (in addition to the 3x120mm on top) for a dual loop system, and what kind of work it would take.

PLEASE!!

It would require some modding, but you could fit a 2nd rad in there if you worked at it. I have one at work, I can take a look at it this week if I have a few minutes and see what would be the best way to do it.

mhhhh we are in august... this is a thread from march... in the "news" section... *cough* :P

[Leeghoofd]

Well better release a product that the end user wants and Corsair seems to have applied many demands of the end users after the case's first exposure. Plus cases are timeless :p there's not that much pressure to beat ya competitor

[Bodkin]

please let us have some photos redbeard!

[junkun13]

I'm drooling right now.

[HuffPCair]

Wow I have been looking for a new case. Though the ATCS still has me.

A few questions that may of already been asked, but i was to lazy to go through all of the pages.

What is the case going to be made out of?
And I am guessing price range of around 100s to 200s? Am I correct on this?

[HuffPCair]

it's steel and $300

Sweet man

Out of curiosity when do you think the 800D will hit the shelves of Australia?

sure, whatever... but why does this have to be in the news section?
just cause a thread gets updated every now and then that doesnt really mean it belongs in the news section...

its nothing against corsair, but im worried that we will have another and then maybe more and more threads in the news section where some manufacturer shows off their current or future product... thats not really what the news section is about :P

[Leeghoofd]

If the Op was Corsair I would agree Saaya. The Chassis was introduced long time ago, has gone through some cosmetic changes ( for the better if you ask me ) and seems to be ready for launch... Once it pops up in the shops, the lucky reviewer/buyer that get's one can post it in the forum reviews section...

I like that manufacturer Reps are here to keep us on track on what's going on (on threads not created by them but concerning a product made by them)... I prefer threads like this then the fanboyism stuff we get each time when there's something new on the horizon regarding CPU's or GPU's... this is far more relax... and admisn liek Movieman and co will keep an eye for sure if the manufacturers even think of doing a publishing stunt on Xs

I hope Corsair can start to ship these ASAP... as it seems very well engineered... but that's my own point of view on things... and the wait has been long enough

go go go go

I like it

[saaya]

If the Op was Corsair I would agree Saaya.

whats the diference?
imagine other manufacturers start posting threads about their new cases and heatsinks etc in here...

this thread is great! dont get me wrong!
but it doesnt belong in the news section... it belongs in the case, air cooling, watercooling or corsair section, but not news...

Nice case....

Shame no eSATA love in the front panel.....

Not a buy option for me until there is

Why do many case manufacturers insist on including Firewire as standard but never even consider eSATA on their front panels???

It's a no-brainer these days I would think

THe question is more like "why do manufacturers insist on putting all sorts of useless junk on their front panels???". I have a motherboard. It provides me with what I need. If it doesn't I'll buy one that does.

nice case btw :P

To be honest, I thought having a hot-swap hard drive bay kind of eliminated the need for eSATA. It's far more convenient, since you don't have to run a separate power cable.

It was my decision, so those of you guys who hate it - feel free to send me nasty PMs or shake your fist angrily at Redbeard.

I underestimated the number of people who like eSATA, since I don't know anybody personally that uses it.

I would love a more modular front panel standard so case manufacturers could give you a blank spot to put in modular ports of whatever you want.

With the thumb drive market now taking advantage of eSATA, it would be a good idea to include at least one port
