Holy!?!?!

I really need to go and find a job during the holidays

JATownes · Jun 2, 2009

WOW!! My new case. :rockout:

Mike0409 · Jun 2, 2009

Wow..love the case! Definately saving the pennies for this one.

happita · Jun 2, 2009

I definitely need to replace this CM 690, it accumulates way too much dust lol. The fact that the 800D looks so beastly yet so functional with all these amazing features and cable routing dreams I think very well justifies the $300 price tag that comes with it. But surely people can wait till the price goes down like me

Its for removing/replacing the brackets on the back of some cpu coolers without removing the board.If you watch the video,it dont line up with all boards though.

It would be cool if you can convert it to a fan mount

lifetime warranty on memory, 5 year warranty on PSU, and a 2 year warranty on a case? come on corsair dont be like that. some people keep their stuff for more than 2 years just to get the most out of their investment.

I would be quite happy to pay that much for it, provided that tray/platform near the bottom was detachable. Looks like it would obstruct the airflow of a bottom mounted psu. The fan mounted on the tray/platfrom could do with being more towards the rear. Though maybe it should be and they put it in the wrong way when it was photographed

not sure what you mean but the design is simple cool air rises from the bottom the 140mm intakes the cool air across the video card. you take a standard power supply and flip it upside down so that the power supply intakes cool air through the bottom grill and across the power supply heatsink and out the rear.

Techpowerup said:
Also on the 3rd picture is that a trapdoor the the underside of the cpu mount? If so is it meant for a fan to keep the underside cool as well or am I missing something more obvious here?

UK Release now please! Barclay Card poised

it's a motherboard access hole designed to let you mount the CPU Heatsink or Water Block without taking the motherboard out it makes removable motherboard trays a thing of the past.

I bet people didn't notice there was no reset button which are also being phased out.

What?!?!
what if there's a BSOD?
a lockup?
I dont want to manually reset it!!

Major_A · Jun 2, 2009

I created an account to let you know there is a reset button. You can see the picture of it on Corsair's website.

*looks at price*

*dies*

Less expensive than a lot of the Lian Li cases that aren't as good in comparison.

I'm sure even if there isn't, you should just be able to hold down the power button and presto, instantaneous shutdown. It makes sense to phase out reset buttons IMO.

Shadin · Jun 2, 2009

Nice looking case, I love all the pre-mods they've added in there for cable management. But I'll never pay that much for a case again, after owning a few expensive ones I've gone back to the old days of buying decent cheap cases and doing a few mods. An Antec 300 is my current victim, got it for $40.

I'd like to see Corsair make an entire lineup of cases that cover more price brackets.

eidairaman1 · Jun 2, 2009

that fan on the side of the HD bays doesnt look like it will get direct Cool air from external source so it cools HDs better.

BumbleBee · Jun 2, 2009

why would Corsair put a reset button hidden in the front ports, doesn't look like it has a hd activity led unless the power button lights up and the led underneath it is the hd activity led. here is a video of the case from computex.

Major_A · Jun 2, 2009

I guess they wanted clean lines. Until I found the front panel picture I assumed it was for 3.5" devices, ala card readers. It's definitely a cool case, I don't know if it's $300 of cool though.

BumbleBee · Jun 2, 2009

look at the front ports in this picture it's from CeBIT looks much different than now theres no power or reset just the LED's and 2 pilot holes probably for the power and reset.

OnBoard · Jun 2, 2009

Talk about attention to detail. Very nice and sleek, with clever goodies. *envious to everyone getting this case*

eidairaman1 · Jun 2, 2009

the only thing im attesting to is the optical drive mount system, i mean metal tabs, not very durable and cheap.

I didn't even catch it before. Looks like the drive bays are tool-less only, I don't see actual screw holes. I really wish companies would stop doing that.

BumbleBee · Jun 2, 2009

tooless 5.25" are great, it's the expansion slot retention clips that need to be stopped.

steelkane · Jun 2, 2009

Another great looking factory modded case..

WarEagleAU · Jun 2, 2009

Rubber grommeted mobo tray holes for cable routing and water cooling routing? That is so sexy, simple, black, sleek, love the side little fan and that cpu compartment on the back. 299 is a steal for this. I wonder though, who their OEM is .

eidairaman1 · Jun 2, 2009

People forget that its there to prevent chaffing of lines and also the cuts that can be encountered from punched steel.

BumbleBee · Jun 2, 2009

I think what they do is once they punch out the case they toss the motherboard tray in a vibrating bath of ball bearings that polish it and file off edges. but yeah rubber trim works too
