No,
Was thinking the same and did some research and it wouldn't work. But looks to be ample room to hide a pump / res in the back which is fair enough

Why people would want to hide a res in the back, I don't quite know, a good res should be a feature, but *shrugs* each to their own.. first I've got to get the case.. roll on next month when I have the money..

Agreed. That is the most annoying part of owning this case.

It shows in some of the images that there is a proper USB 3.0 motherboard header.

Well that's good news.
Also Corsair said today on their facebook page that the 540 is releasing the 25th of june. That's only 2 weeks away. OCUK says Aug?

Probably in US? they got the 900D a lot quicker then we did.
just to confirm the dimensions
is it 415H x 332W x 458D (D being the from front panel to back)
am i correct or have i mixed up H/D ?
edit: also im keeping my eyes open for reviews, but if any one else finds any, i would love a link
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
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.

How much for the sample?
BIDDING WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but i do still need to wait for my Motherboard to be off pre order :<
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.
