Corsair 250D First Look

It's a bit hard st see on the pictures:
Saying you were to mount a 140x45 or 30 mm rad in the front, and 30 mm in the side, how much would the airflow of the rad in side be restrictet. I can see the siderad would be elevated compared to the front one, but not by how much.

(Thinking 240x30 + 140x45 would be enough to cool an i5 @1,2-1,25V + say GTX770 or so). Then you could replace the fangrill by the gfx with a windows, to make a pretty little powerfull 1080p gamer for lan and such :D

Youll have to wait for the review matey, I had to get Corsair to check the article because this is what some sites call a review! Anyways any more details will have to come with the full review later in the month.
 
I'm not saying follow the yanks, I'm saying, say it like an englishman, which you aren't doing :P

You say Asus correctly not like the yanks do asooos

Why can't you say Obsidian correctly too? :P

I just don't understand how/what lead you to believe it's said ob-side-ian ?

LOL the amount of times Tom gets called on his words, Ti (Tea...I) or (Tie). :p
 
Hello all, long time Youtube lurker, first time poster here :)

In the article you state that the front intake can support a 120 or a 140mm fan, and that a 140mm fan is included. So what's the third hole spacing for?

At first, I thought maybe this case could support a fron 180mm fan, which would be awesome for noise to airflow ratio, but then I realized the spacing is off. The spacing seems to be the too similar between the first and second, and the second and third holes, which would put it at approximately 160mm-170mm. So what's it for?

EDIT: Unless a 120mm fan is pictured instead of the supposedly included 140mm, thus making the smallest hole smaller than 120mm. But the spacing still doesn't add up.

Double Edit: Corsair's page states a 200mm is compatible in the front, but judging from the picture, there is no way that is accurate.

It's a 200mm fan mount.

At the time of writing the article, the webpage where it says wasn't up. The spec sheet from Corsair only mention 120mm and 140mm compatibility at the front.

It does now say on their website it supports a 200mm fan.

That may be so, but what I'm saying is the spacing shown in OC3D's article doesn't match up. The spacing between all three holes is way too similar to be for 120, 140, and 200mm fans. It looks to be more of a 180mm mount. Who knows, maybe I'm too focused on the diagonal placing of the holes.

Please correct me if I am completely wrong.

It looks completely like a 200mm fan to me to be honest lol.

That's the roof of a 650D with 200mm and 120mm fan spacings. Look the same to me.

See, to me, that looks to be a 180mm fan mount. Perhaps I'm crazy lol.

EDIT: You're right. I just have a false sense of the difference between a 200 and 140 compared to the 140 and 120mm.
