We installed a Seasonic Platinum Rated 1000W Fully Modular power supply.
We then installed a new Motherboard and CPU bundle, with an Akasa Venom Voodoo CPU Cooler. There is a moderate amount of space around the ATX board for installation and large graphics cards.
To install a 3.5″ drive is just a case of sliding it into the desired bay; no screws, no trays … just slide in place.
The same is also true for 2.5″ drives making it very quick to install up to four 3.5″ drives and four 2.5″ drives.
We then installed a test-system graphics card. There is clearly plenty of space for larger, high-end graphics cards.
Installation was relatively easy in this chassis and we were able to route the CPU Power cable behind the motherboard tray which we weren't able to do in the larger Thermaltake Soprano Snow Edition we recently reviewed. Considering how quickly we were able to build this system it is still surprisingly tidy.
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.
