I have a request.
Could you add a picture of 250D with right panel off?
And does it allow 180mm long PSUs?
Much appreciated

Folks, can I ask about the 250D.

Is this for Media type PCs? Its rather small to be setup as a gaming PC?

What are the typical applications for such a case size?
 
I plan on building a MiniITX Gaming Rig in it, you can fit a dual rad and a titan in it?

Both applications you could use this case.
 
Really want the 250D, might be a silly question but does it support Micro ATX? Never understood the mini and micro as in my head micro should be smaller than mini!?

No boards that I know of support AM3+ in mini-itx form, just want to be able to sell my Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 and my Air 540 then buy the 250D and whatever mobo.

Unfortunately not, it only supports mITX. Why not sell your AMD processor and get a i5 Haswell?

Have been debating it for few months now but I don't really want to have to add cash to fund a new build when really it is just a case change. I have the FX8320 overclocked to 4.6GHz and has been great. Selling the CPU, Mobo and Air 540 don't think would fund a new i5 4670k, mobo and the 250D.
 
You wont find a single 240mm rad with the actual length of 240mm.
Add that 30mm is for casing and fittings.
Most 240s are around 275-280mm long.

They aren't even available in the distribution network yet.
I asked Corsair if they could add it to a direct order for us but it wouldn't get here any quicker that way either.
 
Any chance when you get a 250D to photograph it with an ODD in? There don't seem to be any images on the net showing this and I'm assuming like the 750 and 350 cases the fascia is ruined when the drive bay cover is removed (which is annoying because they are otherwise very svelte).
 
H105 mounting looks identical to my Antec 620 mounting..tempting but that thickness would probably kill any hopes of using it with my mobo ..time to get the dremel out on the case

Wonder how well the H105 compares to the H100i.

Logically speaking the performance improvement from the H100i to the H105 should be the same % as the performance improvement from the H60 to the H80i, as it's the same radiator thickness increase.

I seriously like both of these products.

Sadly the H105 won't fit in the 250D without modification as it was designed for the H100i, talk about left hand right hand lol.
