So, i treated myself to a 900D after watching Tom's video a couple of times, moving from a Switch 810
First impressions are the case is HUGE!
I eventually managed to open the side panel, and then i snapped something off the back panel at the top. It literally just broke when i barely touched it and i was worried it was an important part, but i don't think it was. I was still annoyed it broke so easily and had visions of complaining to Overclockers and them asking me to re ship the entire case back to them (which they did when my Switch 810 arrived with a damaged top cover). I guess it's just tough luck on my part, but it's left a very sour taste in my mouth
The only other part that snapped off was one of the rear cable management arms, again, snapped super easily. Once my cable management was finally finished i placed the (non windowed) side panel back on, and it fitted, but did not feel particularly secure. I was even considering sticking a few small pieces of tape over the top, otherwise i am worried it may just decide to fall off. The magnet doesn't seem strong enough to hold it on very well
I have a Alphacool Monsta 360 80mm rad at the top of the case (Rampage IV Extreme) and fitting fans underneath it was extremely tight , as in the 8 pin CPU cable was almost crushed. I expected much more room at the top to be honest
The HDD bays are very flimsy indeed, and literally fell apart in my hard, and i had to try and get the small bar back through. They feel extremely cheap and nasty
The included corsair radiator screws fit neither my EK 240mm RAD or my Alphacool Monsta 360 Rad which is another pain.
All in all, the case is good (but is "good" acceptable for £275?) , and the room inside is amazing, but i can't help but think the case feels a little cheap in places. Given i spent a lot on it and its by far the most expensive case i've ever bought, it's overall, a bit disappointing
Would i buy another Corsair case? After this experience, probably not. Certainly not one at this price anyway
