I'm about to get this case.

I wouldn't let it stop you, I got one of these cases the other day and it included the kit despite not being advertised as such. Imagine all new ones have it included or the retailer chucks it in too.
As I wasn't certain if mine would include one and didn't want to have to mess around after building my new machine I ordered one from Corsair. Can be done via their website for free. I ordered it on the 25th and it arrived on the 26th! Shipped from Netherlands by the looks of it. Have to say that is awesome service from Corsair!
EDIT: Oops, didn't check carefully enough and have just seen it was the repair kit not the controller. Seems a little daft that they would send out a repair kit instead of the controller at this stage, gonna request one via [H] forums anyway.

^ Would all so like to no this couse i,m getting one sent out next few days.
The 650D that has the fixed fan controller has a -1 in the model name, you'd have to ask OCuK if the stock they have currently is the newer stock or not.
Will do, Ill keep it posted in this thread.
On topic of the fan controller replacements, I got this email in today.
Will update when it arrives,

No, case is as of yet to be obtained. If my case comes with the faulty fan controller I will use it, if not I will let my mate have it.
Is that reply from Corsair then? I really want this case but want to make sure that these issues are sorted before getting it and want to make certain that the versions that OCUK are the ones with 2 x USB 3.0 (which I apparently cant get a straight answer to

Im here for you
To your first question: Yes, the reply is from Corsair.
To your second question: All Corsair 650Ds come with USB 3.0 on the front panel. (make sure your motherboard supports USB 3.0)
This thread is about the fan controller located on top of the case. Original models gave of a noise off at low settings. The new ones have a -1 in their model number. This is most peoples concerns when ordering this case.
To contact Overclockers regarding if they have the new models of the 650D create a WebNote or call them on: 0871 200 5052
Hope this helps,

Cheers. I am aware of the newer models having -1 but no models that I can find in the UK online seem to have this including OCUK (or places havent updated their websites!).
Also does anyone know if the linear fan controller replaces the fan fix kit completely or is it to be used in conjunction with it.
Sorry I should have been a little clearer. Does the linear fan controller which replaces the original fan controller do away with the need for the fan fix kit or is it to be used in conjunction with the fan fix kit.
