Time for a new case...for lots of rads!

Have you ordered your Gpu blocks yet?

pgi947 · 8 Jan 2013 at 20:42

Not yet, its the next thing on my list to buy after the case. 100% getting heatkillers though

Cooler Master ATCS 840 i have this dammm its huge sli 2 loops RX360 top and RX240 on bottom no probs

bit of modding can make this case look rel nice

Watched the video and I have to say, I'm quite tempted by the 900D.
Not as much Rad space as the LD PC-V8, but it's a more complete case I feel.

Seems fairly clear from watching that that it's going to be 10 slot

And if what he said about pricing was right ($350) then that pretty much translates as £350

pgi947 · 8 Jan 2013 at 22:13

Yep looks like the tech spec listing is wrong then

For me it needs to be alu to be £350, regardless looking forward to some build logs in one

Just read this RE: 900D....

The MSRP has not been released, though we overheard an approximate price of ~$300 USD. The 900D is expected to release in February/March.

Corsair have updated their webpage for the 900D

pgi947 · 12 Jan 2013 at 10:22

Yep product description is now correct but $349.99 isn't going to translate well

whyscotty · 12 Jan 2013 at 10:25

I reckon it will be sub £300

pgi947 · 12 Jan 2013 at 16:48

I hope for potential buyers it is

$350 = ~£217 + 20% tax brings it right around the £270 mark, but as we all know it never ever works out that way

whyscotty · 12 Jan 2013 at 17:22

The only problem I see is if retailers add their % to it with it being
a new design and in demand

pgi947 · 12 Jan 2013 at 20:00

Yep, time will tell though.

Thats the Phobya case purchased too

You werent too far off the mark on your price calculations.

£289.99

That don't seem such a bad price really, suppose it all depends on the finished quality, which shouldn't be too bad from Corsair.

pgi947 · 16 Jan 2013 at 15:05

That isn't bad at all tbh

April release though, I couldn't have waited that long. Phobya case should be here by the end of the week, feel sorry for the delivery driver having to carry a 22kg parcel up a flight of stairs in the snow

*Rich* · 16 Jan 2013 at 19:19

Must have missed it, which phobya case have you ordered? Link?

pgi947 · 16 Jan 2013 at 19:26

Can't link as even phobyas owners are competitors of ocuks owners

Phobya ultrabig water case v.1

It's ugly as sin but I think I can sex it up a little

*Rich* · 16 Jan 2013 at 19:58

Just had a look at it.

Does the 1080 fit behind the mobo tray?

pgi947 · 16 Jan 2013 at 20:06

Unfortunately not from what I can make out, 1080 is ~50mm thick, 180mm fans are 25mm thick so they'll be going external, I'll be mounting it so the ports are side ways on, drilling some holes for hose grommets and routing directly through the case pannel with the tubing entering the case at the optical bay side

I also won't be using the HDD cage and plan to install a pannel to hide the cables

Layout will be 1 x Phobya Nova 1080, 1 x EK XT 360, 1 x EK XTX 360, so the cooling power of 5 x 360 radiators - beat that 900D
