How so? I'd have not asked it if I could answer it.
Is this an improvement over the coolermaster cosmos s? Ever since buying it I've been wishing I hadn't bought it, I initially didn't like it when I saw it 'in the flash' at a multiplay i-series event(can't remember the 'number') but for whatever reason I ended up buying it for my first water cooling build(the Silverstone that everyone and his dog used back then was too much).

This case and the raven are very different. Only you will know which has the features that suits your requirements.

Especially as your initial question was 'this or that'

Had you given a list of requirements or pointed out what features were most important to you then I am sure another member would have gladly helped with your case decision.

My opinion on the matter is that the Corsair will be the better WC case as the out of box rad support is better.

Anything after that is entirely down to personal taste imho
 
There are optical bays. Not sure why they aren't on the description. Will add when I get to work.
 
280 in the roof, 360 in the front

confirmation it fits

and the sample is on my desk,

happy days.

size comparison with a caselabs MH10

Is it able to mount a Black ICE SR1 280 properly?
They have 20mm fan spacing instead of the normal 15mm. Currently have it secured into the roof by 4 screws (1 set 140mm fan holes) :/

an sr1 will probably be too thick. you could at a push i reckon but it will depend on the height of your motherboard mosfet coolers.
 
Hey Rich,

How come you've got a caselabs case on your desk - you planning on a build in the MH10 then? or are Ocers planning on selling Caselabs cases?

Just curios as I have an SM8.

Must admit the Corsair case looks great for the money though.

Mark

the caselabs is for something exciting and you will have to wait and see :)
 
Nice review from the guys over at eteknix:

Rich, can you do me a favour while this case is in your hands...

Measure up and see if an xl-atx board would fit with an overhang at the bottom of the case, obviously not screwing in the bottom 3 screws.

Fancy a downsize later in the year without costing me a small fortune, this could be ideal, though as it stands I'd need to change out from my xpower 2.


I don't think it will fit man. it looks like it may do but we dont have any XLATX in the office to test fit.

the front rad, the fans can be mounted in the gab between the front panel and the frame of the case.

i dont know why they mounted it that far back in this case.
 
the august date is quite loose. we are expecting them soon. they have told me 12th august or around that time.

this is an estimate.
