Now we know what Tom was on about when he mentioned the numbers 540 in one of his recent reviews, think t was the 900D one.

Thoughts on this idea guys?

tag for later on work laptop with a bandwidth restricted air card lol cant risk it

looks interesting, seems like a different approach to a pc case than usual. I think it would be great with a couple of super quiet fans for a media pc

i really like it!
maybe a big ass window?!

 

[sheroo]

Like it.

Has a lot of potential...

Looking forward to seeing Thomas giving it the once over...

Looks very nice, but there is not enough room for proper watercooling IMHO.

I think this is gonna be one hell of a case and I think you all will find that Tom has had a good bit of input as to the design of this case.

 

[sheroo]

There looks to be a fair bit of room in there...

This is the case Ive been on about..... I said 540 in a cough in one of my vids.

I even like the way they have just used a fan grill at the back of the case to improve airflow even further. Its all in the details...

EDIT: Added some pics...

Does kinda remind me of the old Intel server chassis. Hope it comes with a set of wheels....

Case is excellent.
CORSAIR is leader.
Sometimes I want to smash this keyboard and screen because our distributors import only Fractal Design. But look this style. Simply have better designers and that's it.
I told on their forum about cubic case before Lian-Li launch that.
Immediately after H2 show up I told CORSAIR need cubic case.
That will be BOOM.
Only I thought on Obsidian design but cubic. This is even better.
Excellent Case!
Now start serial of cases different manufacturers with PSU behind motherboard and clear look on motherboard.
Only one flaw 360mm on top. But 2x 240mm is even better for custom watercooling CPU + SLI Hydrocopper.

Love the case!!! Finally Corsair gave has something new and different to our eyes!!

Very nice, so the 2nd case in a week with the psu behind the motherboard tray. It makes perfect sense, now I think about it, can't understand why it hasn't been done more until now. All we need now, is an ingenious design for an easy to swap motherboard tray to reverse atx. ( at an affordable price )

I don't suppose they would call it 540 Air without a reason.

 

[CmPick]

When will TTL get one for review? I want one!! :-D

 

[HeaT]

I want! I want!!

 

[AverageNinja]

It's not my cup of tea, but I can definetly see why people would like this.
If the price isn't too high, I might get one though. It would be the perfect case to practice modding on I think. Adding rad support and such.

 

[You_What?]

I quite like and would probably take this for my next build. Well that or the 350D!
