How come the price has gone up to £160?

Popularity, and tbh £135 was a bit on the light side for the quality of the case and features.

Finally got mine built, just need to tidy the cables a little.

You need to paint your fan rings too, like this to match your cabling/cards

some of these builds are looking greats, especially the green ones

Yes, you're right, those fan rings look lovely in green it's just that I'm crap at painting, kinda hoping Corsair will get me off the hook here and release green rings.

It's a piece of ****, just rattle can jobbie ... hell, post them to me and i'll do em for you lol

P.S mines a 350D

The autopsy is complete and I have transferred my system into my 750D at last

I cable managed as much as I can, my GPU cables not being long enough, and I have pulled the cables tight since the picture. When I upgrade next which might be this year I'll double my effort to tidy more.

Had some problems on the project too, I only had 1 Mobo mount insert and it wasn't even packaged, just loose in the box so I'll get on to Corsair to give me some more. Also my mobo sits to high in this case and I can't use my back panel template, but that may be a problem from not using Corsair mounts.

And lastly I configured my front panel headers wrong, thought I broke something when I came to fire up hehe, or maybe the case had a duff power button.

Esoteric, the case has built in motherboard risers. You don't use anything else...

If you remove what you have done itll sit exactly right.

The single riser supplied is to replace the riser guide which is sited within the case if required.

Aye, I found that out when I got to the Corsair forum. No matter though, it's doing no harm having the risers I put in and not having the template on. And I really cba to undo everything to just get the risers out.

If a jobs worth doing...

hehe

It'll eat away at you until one day you snap and rip it apart for those 9 risers

spankingtexan · 5 Jan 2014 at 16:52

I remember when I installed my new Antec Kuhler 920 and didn't know what that plastic ring was for, so I installed without it just like you did with the older models until I learned what the ring was for, it played on my mind for days upto the point I was struggling to sleep at night thinking about it, how satisfying it was when I ripped it out and installed the ring.
We strive for perfection here, get those damned risers out, put your sexy IO plate in and sleep tight.

Just like those damned white fan rings in my green themed case is now becoming unbearable.

I hope to upgrade this year, it depends on Intel. So unless I have to go through my case for any other reason the risers will stay until then

just showing my installed Nzxt Hue colour changing LED controller... and my 750D of course

hakank68 · 21 Jan 2014 at 22:46

some great builds on this thread, has anyone modded this case yet ?

robarthur87 · 22 Jan 2014 at 01:20

I'm hoping to get this case soon. Love the look of it. Very stylish case. Once I have mine I will definitely be doing some modding to It I like the clean front but would like to fit a fan controller and possibly optical drive so will stealthly mount them with the front replaced in carbon fibre. We have sheets of it at work so won't take 2 secs to knock something out.

All your builds in this thread have given me plenty of ideas with themes to go with inside the case.

dat cable management tho

Omar · 2 Feb 2014 at 22:07

jonnyshocker - Please could you post some pics of how you attached the NZXT LED strip to the inside of the case? I tried to stick mine down with lots of electrical tape in between the LED lights (as the backing strip on it's own was not sufficient), but it has still come loose. I think I might be bending the lighting strip around the window corners in the wrong way.

Hey.
Will this case fit a GTX 780TI Classified?
It's 5.94" wide, so concerned about buying a case not wide enough to accomodate it.
Thank you.

I cable managed everything but the GPU cables because they aren't long enough to, picture was also taken once everything was in and before I pulled everything tight

You can fit a 780Ti easily.
