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.

the caselabs is for something exciting and you will have to wait and see :)

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.

Hadn't considered that. Looking at the pics with the push/pull AIO I think it might just squeeze in, fingers crossed.
Was asking more about the roof mouting holes as most cases only support 280 radiators with 15mm spacing, no gap between the 2 140 fans.


EDIT:


It appears like it does support both 15mm and 20mm radiator spacing for 280 rads in the roof.

Pics on the corsair site show frontmost roof 140 mm fan mounts of oblong shape. Also bottommost front fan mount.

Edit2: Appears only mounted to the front for thick rads :/

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.

Nice thanks for the vid:)

I ordered this case...The guy in the video has a point on the bottom of the case. I don't like the hot swap drives location? And if you remove it theirs a big hole in the bottom of the case? How would you close those holes?

Would black cloth work? I don't know???? Would need help on how to hide that bottom bit?

im planning to get this case and for me it will be on top of a black desk, so i may just find a fan filter from DEMCiflex that will cover the holes.

but i will be very interested to see what solutions other people come up with.

1 other thing that would make the case better, would be to have 1 very quiet fan in the passive section, and some 3.5 bays. it looks as if there is plenty of space for it.

edit: since the top takes a 240 or 280 rad- then if this will fit on the bottom, maybe that solves the dust issue :)

Nice find mate. I think I might get one of those. It will help with dust.

Cheers:)
 
balls, i wish this would have been available a couple of months ago as i would have got this instead of the phantom 630. very nice well done corsair
 
Rjkoneill- any chance you could please post the distance from the right side motherboard pin (bottom right of the board) to the fan screw holes at the front of the case. Would like to know what rad would fit with push/pull.
 
Nice review from the guys over at eteknix:

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.
