| 1162712 | 2010-12-16 21:05:00 | Nice case @ $350...just spec'd a unit for a staff member who's husband is a keen gamer...he has 19x10 24"LCD already, so rather than simiply buying a OEN, I suggested I put some components together, as I really enjoy that... Anyway, was looking at Lian Li B25FB, Silverstone Raven RV02-W and the Corsair 6007....Now I really liked the Obsidian 800\700 but they are very very expensive and dont have the best airflow so it was nice to see this 600T, 4 Fan controller, 4 xUSB2 at top w\ 1 x USB3...2 x 200m fans, dust filters, fantastic cable management....sniff, I want one for myself... www.corsair.com Anyway, thought Id put it together with EVGA 570SC, Corsair Force 120Gb SSD, ASUS P7P55D-E Pro and i5 760...hope they pull the trigger, I so want to check out that case! Anyone have one of these? |

| 1162713 | 2010-12-17 01:03:00 | Very Nice. Myself I have cooler master cases a CM 690 and a scout. Both very good sub $200 cases. The 690 is a little roomier and better at cable management but the scout www.coolermaster.com is better looking and has a handle :clapit's also all black like the one you linked. Only downside is the largest graphics cards at 10.5" would be difficult to fit (I tried with a GTX260 and decided against it) |

| 1162714 | 2010-12-17 01:50:00 | Yeah, I like how you can more the HDD cage about in the 600T, although I have heard mutterings that the fan controller isnt that good...ie: not much difference between low and high! | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 1162715 | 2010-12-17 03:03:00 | To be honest I'm not a big fan of Corsair's cases. The 800D is a terrible, terrible case for air cooling. The 600T seem to have somewhat corrected this issue, but its small size makes the numerous ugly rubbered cable management holes too prominent for my liking. I myself have an NZXT Phantom and watercooled the thing. You can take a look at a few pics here: www.gpforums.co.nz |

| 1162716 | 2010-12-17 03:13:00 | Have you owned an 800D? From all the reviews etc is looks awesome...maybe a bit lacking in front - rear airflow but nothing major. This isn't the case? | wratterus (105) | ||

I've seen a few 800D builds the multiple times I've visited CL (and on most visits, bled varying amounts of cash!!:D). They look nice, but the lack of intake worries me. As it is the case will rely mostly on natural air convection from the top unfiltered grill. Even when you when watercool the case will be starved of fresh air, as you will use the top grill to mount a radiator that should exhaust air. At that point the case will start sucking in air from whatever unfiltered holes the air can find. |

| 1162718 | 2010-12-17 03:21:00 | Interesting...I was seriously thinking of 'upgrading' from my antec twelve hundred to that at some point. Off topic, in the pics of your build you're running the Corsair HX750, does it come with the 24pin ATX plug/cables looking like that, or have you done something to it? I've seen alot of builds with the ATX power cable looking like that and I love it, I've never come across a PSU that does it though... www.corsair.com www.corsair.com That's the pic off the corsair site for your PSU. |

I've seen alot of builds with the ATX power cable looking like that and I love it, I've never come across a PSU that does it though... Naw man, there is this modding thing where you sleeve each individual cable (all 24 for the main power cable, 6 per PCI-E cable, etc) of the PSU, or if you don't have time/patience to do all that sleeving, you can get these: 24-pin: www.techworld.co.nz PCI-E 6+2 pin: www.techworld.co.nz ATX12V 4+4pin: www.techworld.co.nz - though I don't recommend these as chances are your original 4+4 pin cable are quite well hidden anyway. Techworld is the cheapest source of most cables and fans that I have come across, and the owner is fantastic dude to deal with. If you want to upgrade your case I would recommend NZXT Phantom, but just keep in mind that if you watercool you won't be able to place fans on the top 240 rad if you have RAMs with tall heatsinks. |

| 1162720 | 2010-12-17 03:31:00 | I thought that might be the case, cheers. You got your individual sleeving from the same guy? | wratterus (105) | ||
| 1162721 | 2010-12-17 03:33:00 | Nope, got my 24-pin NZXT Premium cable from a guy on GPforums cause he had a spare. Worked out $5 cheaper from him, but Techworld has the cheapest prices for these cables and most fans than CL, OverclockersNZ etc.... I've bought some $120 worth of stuff (mostly fans etc) over 4 or 5 transactions from techworld, never a problem and he communicates really well. |
