CeBIT: Corsair raids the chassis market: competitors beware?

**GAR** · 08-10-2009, 02:02 PM

so when can we expect newegg to have thee cases?

**Baulten** · 08-10-2009, 02:21 PM

I'm hoping by the time I get paid at the end of the month! :P

I'm glad to hear that the fans are slower, quiet fans. I'm definitely gonna try to reconfigure my build to be somewhat quieter when I get my hands on this case.

With the top 3 fans installed, my CPU temps were identical to my old case (TJ09) and my GPU temps for a GTX280 SLI setup were about the same as well.

It's actually still a very good case for Aircooling, but I'm not going to lie and tell you it's better for aircooling than an open-air mesh case would be. It's quieter, though.

As for future cases - I wouldn't hold my breath, we don't have anything really pressing that would be out before, say, Halloween. But I could be wrong on that - something could come in ahead of schedule for once.

Hi Redbeard

Is fan speed fixed or adjustable?

Ps: Dont forget the video you promised eheh

I just Pre-Ordered the 800D on Amazon. At $279 I couldn't resist. I was dreading the shipping cost since the case is steel and heavy, but with the free shipping, it was an added bonus.

Amazon estimates I will receive the case between Sept 8-18th. Can't wait to start modding this sucker!

If it really rocks like we're hoping, this will likely be my next case. I know I just bought the ATCS 840, but can you have too many full tower aluminum cases?

I mean this is XS forums after all ...

The best cable management case ever created,

**Baulten** · 08-11-2009, 10:01 AM

Totally agree. It looks like there is also a lot of room behind the motherboard tray, so that's another thumbs up.

**tayto_-** · 08-11-2009, 11:25 AM

I just can't make my mind up about this case!

I absolutely love the interior ! there is nothing i would change about it. The BEST i have ever seen

But...because the case is perfect for me in so many ways, i've noticed two things that i really don't like and it somewhat spoils it for me

1. The feet! why? i just think they look cheap.. why not go for 4 elegant feet like you get on a high end silverstone or the ones on my Zalman GT1000?

2. I love case windows, all my cases have them, but this one just doesn't suit the case. The big curve doesn't work with the straight lines on the case

Anyway i'll probably still buy this case, because even as it is..it's still top quality.

**Baulten** · 08-11-2009, 11:33 AM

As for 1, I think the feet as they are designed give better stability than four, single area risers. Plus, if you're on carpet, they'll insure you don't have it coming up under the intake too much.

For 2... Well that's all to personal preference. I like it myself.

**SNiiPE_DoGG** · 08-11-2009, 11:38 AM

those feet are absolutely necessary for air intake to be sufficient at the bottom of the case

**breathemetal** · 08-11-2009, 11:51 AM

Air intake at the bottom? idk how my shag carpet would like that lmao.

Now after reading that "legit" review I have to decide between this monster, or going "open" with a torture rack...hmm hmm hmm...decisions decisions...waiting waiting lol

**Quad-Damage** · 08-11-2009, 12:59 PM

How much will one of these run and where can i buy it

**breathemetal** · 08-11-2009, 01:01 PM

Under 300 usa
Im sure newegg will have it
performance-pcs
frozen cpu

**Baulten** · 08-11-2009, 01:03 PM

You can preorder it from Amazon for $280 shipped.

I'm sure all major vendors will carry it. Newegg will probably get the highest volume of cases in the US.

**breathemetal** · 08-11-2009, 01:55 PM

I just got an idea for my next build

This case, with red lighting, 3x 4890's

and a bloodrageeee

Bloodrage doesnt support 3x gpu, only 2.

**breathemetal** · 08-11-2009, 06:06 PM

aw damn

**SNiiPE_DoGG** · 08-11-2009, 06:19 PM

you have to use watercooling and then it supports up to 4 gpus....

**breathemetal** · 08-11-2009, 06:19 PM

thats odd...

**Baulten** · 08-11-2009, 06:51 PM

It's because the PCI-E slots on the board are grouped together, so you'd need water cooling in order to be able to fit more than two of them.

**Quad-Damage** · 08-12-2009, 08:36 AM

It's either this or a MM

What to do

Should be a great case for water cooling

**LinkinParkBoy** · 08-13-2009, 12:59 AM

Video?

**Baulten** · 08-14-2009, 04:26 PM

It's Friday evening and we are still waiting on the video. :P Not to nag, just looking for an update.

**hchristian** · 08-14-2009, 08:15 PM
