Corsair 760T in UK when?

TonyTurbo78 · 23 Feb 2014 at 01:54

I'm looking for a new case, really love the look of the Corsair 600T and 750D, but seeing the new 760T that's about to launch, I'm not making a hasty purchase. Any idea when the 760T will arrive on UK shores to buy?

Personally I would go with the 750D, from what I have seen it looks a better all around case and build quality. Which would make sense as it's on the obsidian line rather than the graphite series.

Those huge acrylic side panels personally look awful and in the few video's I have seen have a lot of flex to them.

i've heard the 750D is more suited to water cooling setups rather than air setups, that's really the only reason I haven't pulled the trigger on the 750D yet.

I believe this is going to be slightly cheaper?

I saw a corsair rep post on one of the other forums that due to the Chinese new year the production was pushed back slightly.
They are expected to hit the US at the start of march and here in the UK and Europe towards the end of March or Start of April!
Must say, I am getting very impatient waiting as I really want this case, I personally love the huge side panel windows! I like the 750D but it just doesn't have any flair to it like the 760T!

The 750D is pretty good with air also and I can vouch for that.

Depending on what 3.5" devices you have it can be very good.

My suggestion would be to vertically mount your SSD using the brackets in the case, and then if you have one pop your 3.5" mechanical drive in one of the 5.25" optical bays, then remove all of the HDD cages (allowing unrestricted air flow) put two nice high pressure corsair fans in the front and a couple in the bottom with 2-3 140mm exhaust fans on the top/back of the case and you will be laughing. I get great temps and I live in Australia with no air con in the computer room.

sound advice Demon, thx.

Was looking to buy this week, but today whilst driving an HGV decided to total my van on a roundabout, ad now without a vehicle, and in turn will not be able to work until I get it gets fixed through the insurance. I hate life

Sorry to hear that man, hope you get everything sorted soon and back on the road.

Am I the only one who thinks that the 760t isn't nice looking at all?

...this from an owner of a 600t

TonyTurbo78 · 25 Feb 2014 at 20:06

no im sure not, but i expect there are many people out there that say the 600T is ugly. We all cant like the same things.

hawkhench · 25 Feb 2014 at 20:56

Personally I'm in the liking it camp, however the In-Win case that was on today only yesterday managed to pull the look off far better. Hopefully it'll push more companies into innovating in that direction though and someone else will improve it, and we'll all be happy.

That case looks good, but apparently the features inside are pathetic, the cable management, 3.5inch drive stuff etc

This is about right, Last week of March towards 1st to 2nd week of April. Chinese holiday did cause the production to be put on halt. Almost there though, just a little more patience

Looking forward to it! Was going to get a new case before xmas but as soon as I saw the 760T I put everything on hold, first custom water loop will be in this case!

RetrogamerX · 17 Mar 2014 at 14:14

I like this case. I have a air 540 and love it, but like to change every year or so... This 760t might be my new case..Or the EVGA Hadron Hydro? Looking more for a smaller case

Boomstick777 · 18 Mar 2014 at 10:05

Think this case (All Black) is going to be my next one. Been using my current one for around 6 years. The 760T is the first case I have seen that has made we want to switch. Haswell -E build in the 760T would be spot on..

murah · 19 Mar 2014 at 03:45

I went for the 600t in white, I don't regret it but it has some build flaws. Other than that its a modders dream! and its very quiet (aside from the window making flexing sounds when it gets warm going to replace with proper plexi at some point) lets hope they don't use cheap lexan this time round.

I like the 760t and I don't. If they had kept the same front as the 600t (Mesh dust filtered inserts for cd drives) instead of the stupid plastic they are going to use then it would be a clear winner.

Agree on the dust covers? The top doesn't have any either, but it's still a awesome case. I'm still undecided on the 760T or In-Win 904?

murah · 19 Mar 2014 at 16:11

To be fair the top doesn't need it most people will have that as exhaust and It can fit a 360mm rad in the roof with ease without modding thats great (Although It would probably sound louder than in the 600t being more exposed).

The addition of the bottom mounted fan is great and the 2x120mm in the front also works for me.

I have issues with the cheese hole mesh metal over fan holes, I wish more manufacturers would do away with them entirely and just cut a nice hole for the fan -.-

But seriously the plastic on the DVD drive area looks so wrong, like it came from a cheapo case
