    Not really digging the mesh so much, but I like the side panel. Top mesh should have a filter.

    It's massively overpriced in my opinion. It's nothing more than a budget case and should be no more than £35.

    It looks very spacious inside front and back (good for wire management). All i like about this design is the side panel but i still prefer a clear window side panel so that you can appreciate your pc build. and the price is also reasonable for this kind of case.

    The inside looks so clean. And for the color, I'd still take classic black.

    I'd say thats pretty reasonable. Thats $79 not £'s. A direct conversion puts it at about £50. Add the £10 being a brit tax on top and you are probably looking at about £60-65 for it.

    I would like to see the case for £35 with ample cable management, black interior, USB3, fan filters, tool free installation (etc etc) and what Im sure would be pretty decent fans that doesn't look like something thats been rejected by the bargain bucket of pc world.

    Not to mention Corsair also have a solid reputation for quality...so there is of course a small premium on it but you will be sure to get something worthwhile.

    That being said - I hate the mesh. and side panel has too many dents and vents and windows etc. Should of gone chic and simple all the way.

    Looking at that picture, for a moment I was convinced that they'd Photoshopped out the motherboard ಠ_ರೃ

    Re: News - Corsair launches the "visually exciting" Graphite 230T chassis

    That looks rather identical on the inside to my Carbide 200R. So, it's a 200R with a different faceplate and side panels. They haven't even changed the buttons or ports on the front.
    Not that it's a bad thing - the 200R is a solid budget case and I'm over the moon with it.
    Moo.
