Very True. But I would like to see a little better flow past the HDDbays.

[James86]

2 120's up front should be good ya could always zip tie another 120 on the back of the HD bays as long as your GPU wasn't too long

[Joshua_Mahr]

No i meant the 3.5 are in the way too much metal there.. I like it when you can remove the unused slots.

[Victor]

500r and the obsidian case can do that.

[Joshua_Mahr]

I did not see that the 500r did that. Thanks Victor!

[James86]

I see what ya mean but still great cases

[Joshua_Mahr]

Yes they are nice.. And more affordable for main stream now also. Corsair Rocks!

[zachig]

Wow...nice cases. But honestly, I still prefer the obsidian, it's just that it is too expensive...

then you'll have to get one of these cases just a minor version of the full tower kinda like Cooler Masters HAF series

[zachig]

As a PROUD owner of CM HAF-932 case, I really like the roomy design. That's why (in case I'll ever choose to move to Corsair cases) I'd either choose the Obsidian 800 to replace my current HAF-932 or go with the mid-tower Corsair 650D for a secondary rig, in case I'll ever build one.

Thanks for the link. They had the new H80 in those cases also. :) I want my H100!!!!

[James86]

I know the H100 looks great and the bulge is kinda cool for cable routing in those cases

Yea thats how my Dragon Rider is. Plus it has a fan on the back of the mobo where the cpu bracket goes.

[James86]

does the bracket need extra cooling?

[Joshua_Mahr]

Every bit helps. That bracket gets hot when folding. I think it is more for cooling the mobo than just the bracket. I like it though.

[James86]

just seems odd but I've been seeing more cases with that

[James86]

found a better vid of the cases and the H80 and H100
