800D for a C70? is he mad

Permafrost

Compo Whore
ok so i was talking to someone online about swapping cases and he offered my his 800D for my C70 with full window mod? do you think it's a good deal?
 
No I've owned neither, but the c70 at least has some decent intake options rofl. The 800d is a hot dusty box. Stark contrast to the 900d which is epic.
 
ok cool, i would of thought the 800D was there best case before the 900D came out..

It was their first. Iconic for the time and introduced some great features to market. (I'm sure it was the first case with rubber grommets?).

It was ultimately flawed because it has bugger all intake options and is heavily geared for negative pressure.

I would've said their best case pre-900d was the 650d

The 800D is complete garbage for anything but watercooling. And even then it is far from optimal.

The C70 is infinitely better for air, has decent watercooling potential and IHO it is much better looking.

^ This. If they had put an actual mesh or whatever intake panel with fan mounts on the front, instead of having that stupidly huge hot-swap bay, it would be a LOT better for cooling. No one who buys that case for water cooling is gonna need/want that many hard drive bays in the first place. (IMO)

The C70 has decent at best options for water cooling, but at least it has MUCH better airflow. The only rad options I see in the case (without modding, of course) is to either have a 240mm in the front or front-bottom after taking the hard drive cage out, and you can maybe fit a 35mm thick rad + a single set of fans in the top.
 
It's terrible yes. As mentioned air cooling in them is utter garbage and only the front is aluminium the rest is steel.
 
wow i think i'll keep my C70, here's one for you guys did you know the mobo stand off's on the C70 have a enough room under the mobo try to run a 24-pin and have room for more..
 
i quite like the c70's apart from that tacky cod style ammo box style set of clips at the top.
its shares a lot of its design with the 600t, which was a pleasant case.
800d=hmmmmm. 900d=boner

the corsair 800d is a good case if you put decent fans in it it will be fine my last case was a 800d and I loved it people have different opinions about a case they do like or don't until you find out your self you never know you might and might not but when I had mine I loved it.
