this is a great case for the money – love their products. A lot of system builders use this case.
Ive been waiting for a long time for an ultra high end aluminum case from Corsair, like a Lian Li case, around £300-£400. They have the resources to make that happen and would get all the design 100% right.
@ Dank D well its called the Corsair 900D yours for £290 in april, They did’nt use aluminium for that majority of the case due to the flex it would of had in a case that size
@ Leon T. Thanks, yeah I almost bought it, but I want them to make a proper high end aluminum case, like Lian Li. It wouldn’t flex if they built it with higher grade, thicker aluminum like Lian Li. Those are really quality products.
Only problem with Lian Li is their products look a bit stuffy now and they haven’t modernised them to keep up with the times. Thats why I want Corsair to make one. Id pay up to £500 for one of those. A good case can last a lifetime. I still have some Lian Li cases from a decade ago.
