Leaked Images and info of the corsair 250D

[WYP]

For a while now everyone has found Corsair missing M-ITX case from their lineup. Now it looks like that gap will be filled by the Corsair 250-D.

A corsair representitive had this to say in the overclock.net forums;

”The 250D comes with an AF140L front fan and an AF120L side-exhaust fan. It has room on the front for a 200, 140, or 120mm fan and the side exhaust is also the H100 mount at 2x120mm. The rear is 2x80mm but unpopulated, simply there to give people the option. In our tests the side mounted 120mm exhaust functions nearly identically to rear exhaust in this form factor.

Every one of the top requests in this thread were met. For those thinking it’s not small enough, that wasn’t our goal. Our goal was not to make Mini ITX smaller, it was to make Mid Tower performance/hardware able to fit in a compact case. It’s smaller than the Prodigy and Phenom, and bigger than some others.

We're not ever going to do the "ultra SFF" stuff until we see hardware that justifies it. I wouldn't even bother doing it with a regular ATX PSU and SFX isn't that much smaller. We're going to have to do something more interesting on the power side.

From the looks of it the Corsair 250-D should be a good case, we will need to wait and see how this case reviews when it is released.

I am personally quite impressed with looks this case so far, what are your opinions on this case? Please comment below.

I hope Tom does a video review on this, Wouldn't mind building a rig for my dad with this case

I'm quite excited about this case. It'll fit perfectly under my desk but need more details (i.e. dimensions) as well as Tom's take on it to be sure. Looks awesome, but may they have a windowed version instead of the grills?

I thought corsair were making their version of the HAF XB. I like the side fan idea.

I may have to grab one of these as a second project. Will be good to see when reviews hit whether it'll be a viable LAN rig chassis.

Woaw, it would be nice aside my 750D as a small HTPC, Obsidian style , really nice job, waiting to have a look at the interior now!

It seems a little big for a M-ITX, Will have to take a look when it hits the shops.

Planning on a M-ITX Kaveri build for my sis.
