Hexus, this seems to have disappeared as I was reading it! Can I have it back please!Page not found
Unfortunately the link which you've followed has brought you to a page which doesn't exist on HEXUS.
Seems to be all back now.
Those three 2.5" drive bays on the reverse side of the motherboard tray are excellent. My case has a single one but I could definitely use a couple more! They do seem to be a tad too close to the lip around the "access hole" behind the CPU socket, however.
Took a month though, did you guys go too early on publication of the review before the end of an NDA orginally?Originally Posted by Tarinder
Corsair changed the NDA date in order to ensure adequate stock was in the channel.Took a month though, did you guys go too early on publication of the review before the end of an NDA orginally?
Still not good enough to replace my high airflow Obsidian 450D...
If they bring out a version with solid (preferably noise-cancelling) side panels, I'll be all over it.
I like this design a lot but I have the 750D airflow edition, so this would be a step back unless they can make a full tower (with an airflow edition).
Seems descent, shame on the price point but cheaper than the 700.
i love the symmetry of the from view
Surely not! I thought this review was about the 500D.
Other than that this case seems to be inferior to the 550D (on of which sits right next to me on my desk) in most ways. Tempered glass window version only (not everyone wants to have a sideshow on their desk), apparently no external drive bays (and no (switchable) door), no soundproofing. And what's with the those "wing tips" on the top panel? Seems like it'll be hell to clean.
Oh, and I've never been a fan of topside I/O panels, especially with regard to the unprotected USB ports. Just begging for dust to settle there. But then again this is a sin many, if not most, case manufacturers are guilty of.
Compared to the mentioned Define R6 this case is a non-starter ...at least for me. It does look somewhat stylish though.
I love my 500R case, but am looking for more rad space now.
Corsair have hopped on the bandwagon of deleting the 5.25" drive bays and using glass panels.
And for that reason, I'm out.

The Fractal Design Define R6 is the best case I've seen for a long time. And I can pop my bluray drive in that too.
No 5.25" bay, no sale.
