Corsair supply the 650D in a large brown cardboard box which is decorated with an image of the case on the front and a few details about the case within. Inside, the case is suspended between two slabs of polystyrene which should provide a decent level of protection from negligent couriers.
All the bundled accessories are supplied in a resealable plastic bag which is attached to the inside of the case during shipping. Corsair provide all the accessories we could ask for. These include an installation guide, motherboard and hard drive screws, SSD mounting screws and a few cable ties.
awesome, stunning engineering. Who make their cases incidentally? I know they dont make anything really themselves, but use ‘sources’? would it be silverstone or lian li?
Awesome ! very nice design. corsair rock
Lian li wont make for anyone else. but I am sure they have the assistance of a factory group in the far east. One thing ive noticed about corsair lately is they are actually more of a ‘marketing’ brand now. sourcing components from other groups and rebadging them with their name etc. they do it very well.
The internal design sets these apart. many manufacturers like bitfenix focus on the outward appearance and clutter them up, but the real basis of a great case is airflow and structuring, internally.
love their cases, they spend a lot of time working on the internal side of them.
Yeah I like their cases too. they aren’t lian li expensive either. some of the lian li stuff costs as much as my computer ! just for the case
THey are good, but our local computer store has one and I can hear a very slight rattling from the fan. It might just be a bad fan, but it can be heard, I have sensitive ears.
I tried putting pressure on the panel but it didnt cure it, so I assume its a bad fan, rather than a seating problem.
I’m pretty sure Thermaltake use the same motherboard tray in their Chaser MK-1 case, I don’t know if Thermaltake have their own manufacturing facilities or not, consequently I don’t know if Corsair use Thermaltake, or if they both use the same manufacturer for those cases.

As for Lian Li not making cases for anyone else, don’t Lian Li make Cubitek’s XL Tank and HTPX Tank cases? I can’t remember where I read that, but my guess would be in TPU’s review of the XL Tank.
Also, haven’t Corsair always just sold what other people/companies make?
thermaltake? really. Shame they didnt make their own cases more like this if thats the case..
