what corsair case is this?

[Permafrost]

i was looking online for a 2nd pc case for a haswell build what i saw these photos of a corsair case and was thinking what case is it, it looks like a 800D??!

 

[Feronix]

That would be an 800D. Wouldn't recommend it though:

- Terrible air cooling as there is no front intake.
- Half-decent watercooling, but you can do so much better for the price.

not even for £40...

yeah one of the worst cases they ever built. I hated when I reviewed it and still give them shit for it now.

Its an oven.

 

[Permafrost]

avoid like the plague then yeah?!

For that price I'd go for it. Thats a steal...but from those pics it looks like its in pretty bad condition.

Reminds me of the time I was "watching" a Logitech G7 Wireless Gaming Mouse on eBay. For the whole week it sat on it's starting bid of $5, then in the last 15 seconds one guy e-sniped it for $2 more than me...I almost cried.

yeah almost cried when i was bidding on a corsair psu, 5 days to go it was setting at £35 then 7 seconds to go and someone out bidded by 20p/50p i was pissed!!

I haven't bid on anything for ages tbh. I really detest it, the last ten minutes take years off my life.

The last thing I bid on and won was a brand spanking new Aurora chassis. I offered the company £350 and they refused, even though they had about ten of them. In the end I got it for £315 so I was pleased but not something I care to repeat :lol:

I prefer buy it now as you are covered as if the item was new on BIN items.

Hahaha Damnnnn!! Bloody e-snipers!

But back on topic man I reckon you should go for the case. Sure it has its fault but It has a lot of great features too, and for that price you can't go wrong!

 

[airdeano]

as an ex-8ooD owner.. do not buy it.. it does nothing but take up real estate,
non-functional as an interim case, causes exceptional interior heat, and if you decide
to re-sell, no one will buy it because the shipping is too much.. there are reasons
some things are cheap. use something else..

 

[Permafrost]

here are reasons
some things are cheap

ahhh i didn't think about that!

thanks again for your help dude!

now to sort out my psu for haswell...

 

[equk]

not even for £40...

It might be ok if you mod it (for better cooling) but it looks like a filing cabinet

I feel like this on ebay also

7/10 for performance and it was being used in a shed.

I'm pretty sure Tom either followed up that review with a rant or posted it somewhere else.

Plus times have changed since then.

 

[Permafrost]

i'll have a look for it lol
