    Coolermaster Black

    Ok, so I set a reminder for "d-day". I've read the press release, and visited the site. Cool beans... but... can anybody say where the heck you can actually BUY one of them? Whats the secret handshake?

    Checkit: http://blacklabel.coolermaster.com/

    Press release says MSRP is around 499 euro.

    The question I cannot get past is, Why would you want it?

    HAH! Now I KNEW that was gonna be asked...

    I'm not a trend-whore or anything, don't get me wrong. I'm in the market for building a new rig, and it is currently built around the Cosmos-S. Which is more than adequate. But, you know... it's so sexy!

    It's nice to dream though, right??

    Black cosmo with a window, Chilledpc.co.uk will happly do that for you
    Black Z600 cooler, again I'm sure chilledpc would be able to help you there.
    Black psu, umm they are black standardly

    I just don't see the point of paying for a "limited edition" paint job, when you can get a bespoke one for less

    You know, when you break it down like that, It seems rather silly... this whole "Black" limited edition BS. And besides, I won't even need a air cooler, since I'm going water cooled, so that's a waste!

    Well in that case definately look at chilledpc's modding and paint services.

    The splash anodizing give some great effects and will be one of a kind.

    Not sure that the Chillded PC route would be much of a goer!!
    Basically you are looking at around £180 to get the Case Anodised inside and out, that then leaves you with purchasing a transparent window, the cooler and the PSU - plus of course the original case ... I reckon you would in fact be losing money going down this route!!

    Get a Cosmos S, powdercoat the internals, get the window fitted

    Re: Coolermaster Black

    Umm at current exchange rates 499 euro is £443

    CoolerMaster Cosmos S - RC-1100 £160.50
    Powder Coat Internal and External Of Case £127.22
    CNC Window Cut £19.56
    AcrylPanel™ 5mm / 480x480mm Clear £7.36
    total: 314.64
    So leaves you with just over £130 to get the cooler and psu.

    Ok not as cheap as I thought but still, knock £60 off if you just have the internals powder coated

    Yes and you are also failing to factor in the fact that you have to post your case out to them and pay for it to be shipped back ... so add at least another £30!!

    You're failing to see that they sell the case there so you can pay for it all to be done there and it gets shipped to you once

    Well, except black color, is there anything special?
    I think only their loyal fan will buy this not cheap bundle.

    Window and the extras and the fact it's a "limited edition".

    It would be so tempting to get a case badge made up the read "501"
