Holy cow, that's movie-length. Hope it was worth the wait. Actually, I'm fairly confident that it is, since it's a TTL review :D
 
101 minutes? Screw studying for finals I have a mammoth TTL video to watch.

In all seriousness this looks like a great case, a mid-tower based on this (i.e. 650D V2) would be ideal, this is just a tad big.

Corsair is supposedly coming out with a "350D" sometime in the near future. (I put the name in quotes because I dunno if that's the real name they're going with, or just like a code name). Bad thing (kinda) is, it's gonna be m-ATX and under, so no regular ATX mobo support.

It's supposed to cost less than €100 though :p

For a supposed "mATX" case they suggested dimensions make it taller and wider than my current ATX case and about half an inch shallower. Very interesting from Corsair.

Half an hour into the review and I like that Tom is doing the "accelerated" strip down of things in videos in these days instead of just fading to black, long may it continue.
 
Good GOD Tom that was awesome I so neeed a smoke after watching that and you sold me on that case ^_^
 
I think its kind of overkill for me at least, but its still has the 'want' factor by the bucket load.

Great review of it as well, I have to say, excellent work.
 
Bravo! Bravo!

I really, really hate when you do this kinda review, Tom.. makes me almost
(almost, I say) doubt my CaseLabs SM8. for a mass-production style case, i'd
have to give it up for Corsair and the 900D. as a way former owner of the 800D
you are utmost correct, it is their first water-cooling cabinet, period. really, no
hacking, dremeling, jigsaw, etc.. just a Phillips and allen key and boom, its going.

i left mass-produced cases because of the extensive modification needed to
support water-cooling in an extreme way. now Corsair has done it to where the
end-user doesn't have to own a machine shop or intricate power tools to add
multi-radiator to the chassis. that is a big plus for Corsair and their design team
(yea! Corsair George). with the hype, previews and now reviews, no wonder my
RSVP to buy one in advance is always empty.

i do really like the rear tray area and using the bulkhead fittings (or fill port) to
transfer the hoses to the back, epic idea. now some of the rear VRM plates
have access to easy to rig tubing. to have monster proper water-cooling and have
HDD array (if needed) was a big task. box checked. Corsair has given the public a
blank canvas to stuff as much gear and hardware to make the radiator mannies
to produce more radiators. nice to see Corsair spreading more to the other support
companies...

thanks Tom on another brilliant review and making me think of "what else?"
 
Seen the movie on this case now, need to go and eat whit the GF before she kills me !

And i also need to talk whit my bank ! Damn you TOM ! :D

This speaks volumes regarding the depth TTL goes into with his reviews on video at least. How can they fit everything into 17 minutes?

Lol don't even bother with that, it's 17mins of watching someone fit a H100 in there with an electric screwdriver..

But you are right, no one else on YT puts out videos of this much detail.


EDIT: Haha only Tom can spend 5 minutes talking about PCI brackets :lol:

thanks tom that was 1 hell of a review and as normal if you haven't mentioned it it's not worth mentioning.
I don't think with the other rad options corsair missed anything by not having the front 360, though I did wonder if it would fit between the front filter and fans instead of inside, also if rear rad would benefit from a non modular psu as they normally have the cables coming out of 1 corner you could rotate it so they wouldn't obstruct the 360 rad :)
 
Excellent review as always. I think this case will be popular with the enthusiasts. Obtaining positive air pressure is a little concerning but doable.

Is it just me that thinks the name of this case looks like "good" g00D,? Just me? Okay then...
