yeah id deffo want to get my hands on one but its a bit pricey seeing as i only paid £149.99 for my 700D

I was kinda torn between this and the White 600T, but as I have no plans to go watercooled anytime soon, I think I'll go with the 600T as it looks to have a little bit more room and btr airflow.

650D is a cracking looking case mind you

600t is good looking but the cooling is crap

but the 650d is ugly

 

[TheRussian747]

i'll stick to the 800d, i was considering this case but i need the room for water cooling...

Actually been looking up the specs on these cases and the 650D is growing on me, but I think I'll wait until the end of next month to see the 1st reviews.

It kinda looks like they borrowed the design from the fortress but without the curves.

I am waiting on the white 600t. The cooling might not be the best, but you are buying a corsair case. Cooling isn't your top priority if you buy a corsair case, since they all pretty much suck at it.

Finally found a decent review that's not from CeBit 2011 Corsair 650D

Might be a case for me in the future... Looks real nice, but I would like to be able to fit a 360mm rad, but that won't happen in the 650D. Maybe I'll just stick with air cooling.

You know I've just realized how similar this case is to the Lancool PC-K7. (Vintage 2008)

 

[dugdiamond]

they are excellent for cable management, have great airflow and very roomy inside

 

[Squirrel-666]

this is definetly my next case thinking of going for it wen i get my first lot of wages

31st of march hurry up damn you

 

[AMDFTW]

its quite smart

Looks like I will be buying one of these to replace my 800D. I am going to wait for the reviews first , but it looks like its got decent cooling and the HDD' brackets have rubber gromets which the 800D needs. My HDD's are humming away under my desk and its annoying. I just need a case thats not noisey and cool because I have my computer in my living room.

Mine was dispatched today, along with replacement fans

I discovered yesterday how much hot air is being thrown into my case with my new Palit GTX580 with its custom twin fan cooler. Most of the hot air is thrown into my case from the GPU on the inside of my case and very little is being vented outside my case , so this 650D is no good to me. I need a case with a side fan so I think its going to be a HAFX for me.

Mate the 800D is a bad case for trying to air cool due to compartment cooling, it's aimed at watercoolers. Because the 650d is a "midi" it's much more open, and the air in your case will move a lot faster. I've ordered 2 x Noctua nf-p14's for top mounted exhaust fans to get rid of any hot air as quickly and silently as possible.

I'll be builing it all up on Friday, so I'll post some pics and temps once I have it all together.
