Hi Rich,

Thanks for the update. Sounds like another Corsair launch that hasnt exactly gone swimmingly - if by some minor miracle that the cases do come in today, and I'm one of the lucky pre-order people - how hard would it be to change the shipping address? The one provided on my order is my work address, however it would be a lot easier for it to be delivered to my home address if its going out on saturday delivery.

Cheers

Was £116.99 Inc. VAT

Only £113.99 inc VAT.

ORDER NOW
 
I can wait another week. (I've only got a 4670K + mobo + SSD and some watercooling stuff waiting on the arrival of the case...)

Rich,
do you know if all current pre-orders will be completed by the stock arriving on Monday? I was a bit late to the party and only ordered when you mentioned there may be some cases arriving early than the announced August ETA (always planed on buying, just didn't see any point paying too much earlier than I needed to).
 
What would the best way to get this case fan and lighting controlled? bearing in mind I would want a dvd drive on it too and the lights and fans have to be able to be turned on/off from an easily accessible area. No going into the case to flick a switch etc

I was thinking, I have these options:

change all case fans to PWM then run them all off motherboard headers. - seems a waste
get a fan controller. - Front panel - not many will look good sideways mounted
get the NZXT Hue controller. - Front panel - probably wouldnt change the colour anyway
get the NZXT lighting strips so they can be controlled by rear panel. - only one colour :(
or get the corsair lighting and fan controller node thing. - expensive option

I would only have 1 free front panel slot, the fan and lighting controller cant go together.

Or is there a better solution I have overlooked?
 
Put the NZXT Hue in the back chamber with the PSU, if you're not likely to change the colour, it does not have to be in the front panel.

Genius, Didn't think of that. Thanks :)

I still do have my eye on the corsair link kit, being software controlled seems very appealing :)

Never heard of it before u mentioned it, but it does look quite nice. However, doesn't the Bitfenix Recon do the same, with the program someone developed for it? Of course, you then have to get the NZXT Hue aswell.
 
The recon would be a bit awkward on its side though.

Also, the corsair kit (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BB-002-CS for anyone wondering what I'm talking about) seems a little overkill. 8 connections for either fan, lighting or the gpu nodes. I would probably only use 1 for the lighting and one for the fans, a splitter would deal with any extras.

I suppose someone with a quad gpu setup and say 10 fans with 4 lighting strips would make use of it all. then they would need 5 3.5" bays.

I just realised, the link would probably not fit in a hotswap bay so you would need a 5.25 to 3.5 adapter unless you stuck it somewhere in the passive compartment :/
 
5.25" drives are 146mm wide + housing would be around 150mm. Regular PSU height is around 90mm. so unless you want another 7cm width to the case then it couldn't be done. :P
