    Would like to see more details.

    I do like that these cases have a particular focus though.
    Too many cases are a jack of all trades and a master of none.

    Looks good but I will wait and see whether the claims he makes are achievable in practise. The support for liquid cooling is impressive.

    Like the others above, have to say, I'm impressed. Would like to get a better idea of the dimensions inside to see what could fit in there - doesnt really seem that roomy - but I like the concept really. Mind you, even with those 140 fans, its still going to be noisy Be interesting to see how it might affect the temps of Crossfire/SLI setups.

    Looks good, but did he say space for 2 x 3.5" and 4 x SSD?

    Shouldn't that be the other way round?

    Can't see many people needing 4 SSDs but being OK with only 2 mechanical.

    Cheers for the picture. Corsair are usually spot on with the sizing of cases regarding component fit and that pic looks ok. It's jumped above a 600tm for me at the mo. Research time

    Re: News - Corsair unveils double-wide Carbide Air 540 chassis

    It's a really good idea, like an over-sized ITX case design. One thing I'd be interested to see is when it's reviewed and tested, what happens if the airflow is changed to be Back to front instead, so that the warm air exhausts into the room, instead of into a confined space under a desk.
