There are just no decent ones for radiators, with the 120mm fans you have the Gentle Typhoons and the Corsair SP120's which have good static pressure perfect for rads.

That's what I'm using on this new case.

Well, I might have to unfortunately pass on this case :mad:

Looking at a water build log on OCN (where rich got that pic from^^^) it looks like 360+240+240 just won't fit, due to lack of space between the 360 and roof mounting, the port side would have to be at the bottom, which in turn would be blocked by a bottom mounted 240.

All it really needs is an extra inch or so on each axis to have everything fit too.

Back to the drawing board for a new case then

Sorry it doesn't work for you mate

For me this case is perfect in every way

i know some people have been wanting a video review - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCwBTNFmTXs

That video review has rather put me off, kinda makes me think it a little flimsy and cheap.. hope I am wrong..

rjk · 21 Jun 2013 at 10:39

it isnt at all.

there is nothing flimsy about any corsair case

Doesn't look finished to me, why they put a 2.5" SSD cage and not a 3.5" is beyond me?

There is enough space above the PSU area for at least 2x 3.5" cages and 1x 2.5" cage!

They also need to do this in white, but even so I'm not tempted due to; Hard Drive Cage, Plate needed for hard drive area under graphics card (if there was a 3.5" cage, this putting the hard drives wouldn't be needed and could've saved money)... some more things but can't quite pick them out yet...

I wondered why as well not many people use lots of ssds in there build a big case like this should have plenty of 3.5" hard drives installed not ssds.

I wish they would have added an extra £10 and put a filter and a grommet at the bottom.But looking good so far.

H100 is pretty tempting.

Agree, but I have filters I can use. Corsair should have included them really?

I know Corsair cases aren't flimsy, it was just the impression I got from the video, I'm glad that I am wrong though.

I'm probably still going to end up getting it.. and the first thing I do, will be to remove those god awful mounts from the bottom, and fit a nice blanking plate in to make it look nice..

note to self.. buy a new dremel

16:59 "unique design with dual chambers",caselabs have been doing this design for a while.

As much as i love corsair case's (have owned 3) i cant see what all the fuss is,yes it's a good case but not entirely unique is it.

I'm hoping that OCUK can tell us if spare magnetic filters and grommets will be available on release day?

Lets hope they are?

You will probably have to wait until Demci make the filters, or order them direct with custom sizes.

RetrogamerX · 21 Jun 2013 at 15:44

I have filter cloth I could use. I'll cover the whole bottom.

Is there a company in the uk that sell these filters ?

After some for my corsair 500R.

Ocuk sell the Demci filters but you can also get custom ones sent from them in the US. I know with the 650D you can tell them what areas on the case you want the filters to cover and they already have the sizes ready.

£10 for a filter and grommet? No thanks.

I wish they'd remove the hot swap feature completely (deduct £10 from price), put 3.5" cage in with active cooling and make a white version.
