I absolutely love this case! Especially in white! :eek:

I think it deserves a thread of its own for pictures, builds, thoughts/opinions on the case and Q/A, so here is my attempt to get one going :)

Unfortunately as i don't actually own this case and only dream about it, i cant start off by posting pics, but i'm sure someone out there can :D

Have fun and play nice! :rolleyes:

Its a very marmite sort of case, personally... I really dislike the look of it. :D

If it came with an option to change the power and reset button and remove the side panel clamp type things, then I would like it.

Plus they should have got rid of the fan mounting holes on the window.

May have offended quite a few people here, sorry. :D

Click to expand...

You're right about it being a marmite case :p
I love the power controls and i really love all the handles and clips :D makes it look badass.

I agree about the side window however, if I get this case I would mod some clear perspex in there.
 
I posted a thread of my build log from 24th of Feb on another popular forum that a few BF3 / Day-z fan's might know I'm involved with ;)

I will endevour to remove one's finger from one's posteria when I get home...Don't expect too much detail. It's currently air cooled....but am getting me a 280 rad based WC loop at the end of the month.

That's when the real fun and games / crying and despair will start
 
Well I went from a CoolerMaster elite 330 (i think) to a Bitfenix Shinobi to this...Simple, you get what you pay for.

Corsair build quality is excellent from what I can tell.

Quick spoiler for you...My fav feature = Rubber grommits...for fans...so sad I know, but zero vibration ahhhhhhhhhh...

Now I can only hear my GTX580 chortling away
 
So, it seems like my arm has been twisted to up this....

Patience.....Is not a virtue I am comfortable with...Also, as I never planned on doing a step by step you will, have to do a fair amount of imagining.

Decided I wanted it on Friday...Here on Saturday, Can I say thank you to 5UB who is a true gentleman (sucking up for future help when I f* up again).

It's arrives :D




The cardboard box is MOAR than sturdy enough to give the case enough protection, the foam inside fits very tight meaning that it won't bash about in there while it's being transported..Good start then.



Yes, as you may have guessed I was salivating by this point...

This is how it arrives with everything fitted that should be. Can I make it very clear that the 2 x 120mm mounts on the top will accommodate 2 x 140mms as well. Why this is not advertised I will never know. I was going to settle for a 240mm rad...No longer...Daddies getting a 280mm.




Ever heard you fans vibrating on your case? No longer with these simple fan mount grommets...Yes I am still gushing over them, such a simple but handy addition.




So here we are, everything is ready for the mobo to be put in. The front is very secure and took me a moment to work out how to remove. 3 clips on each side, unclip and it's off. Once removed you can attach 2x120 or 1x140 to the front panel.



FAKE REASON > I removed the top HD tray as I didn't need it and wanted to improve airflow to the CPU cooler. There is a small cut out to the right of the fan mount to guide the fan lead through. Very simple, very clever!

REAL REASON > MOAR Red in MOAR places :D...Because of this my SSD is sandwiched in between HD tray and side panel...Ohh noes :rolleyes:

Unfortunately I don't have a modular PSU......Yet. The C70 has so much space in the PSU grommet I don't think I'll get one (So.. I give it 3 months b4 I get one lol).

I'm sure I don't need to tell you how to install a mobo into a case so will just show you the finished thing. Geek lube at the ready.













Now we wouldn't be finished if I didn't show my beauty in situ.










If I wasn't taking those photo's on my phone in low light conditions it might actually look better.

Now the important thing to note is that I bought this case for one purpose only...WATERCOOLING.

I am so impressed with it and cannot wait until the 22nd of this month when OcUK will yet again be getting the lion share of my paycheck.

Feel free to ask any questions, I will update once complete.
 
Ahh, i remember seeing your build on the other forum you mentioned StonedRaider. Very nice.
