Looks like a sweet case, Corsair's cases always have solid looks and quality. I like it. However, it looks somehow narrow from the photos... according to dimensions, it should fit a Hyper 212+, but the tower looks too narrow for it :) Maybe because it's very tall?

I just wish there would be no crazy price overhead on cases in my country. This will probably cost $200-240 here :(

The damn case should have been wider. Wider for the compatibility of large towers and wider for the use of a front 200mm fan... not 2 old ass 120mm fans.. geez

Perhaps they did this intentionally to not completely take sales away from the 600t.

I must say Corsair makes amazing cases (the 600T has such great cable management it looks like your components are running without cables). I would love to see a mATX case or SFF for LAN gamers or for people who just want a small case.

Components are getting smaller, cases are getting larger. Please make a smaller case that has spots for SSD.

It's rear fan is 120mm so that + the i/o shield should leave enough room for large coolers like the nh-d14 (assuming mobo and RAM are compat also), but you might have to remove the side panel fan. It depends how much extra width is gained from the side panel's design. I guess you can't (maybe) have your cake and eat it too (similar situation for nearly all cases I know of).

It's not my style. I'd prefer the whole case be wider as opposed to that pop-out side panel area.
