Corsair CC800DW Obsidian 800D Full Tower Case

Anyone Have Any Bad Stories About This Case?
I REALLY Like It And Hear the PROBLEMS With It,
As Of This Time. And Only From People Who Had
or Have this Case.
Thanks.

I do not have this case but it seems to be the choice for a lot of the hard core water cooling guys out there. I have read 2 of the bad reviews on it and TBH most of those sites will knock any aluminum case that is not made by Lian-li.

IMO it looks like a nice case and I would love to get my hands on one.

There is a whole thread about the case on HardOCP's forum

May be tedious to go through but it has everyones encounters (good and the bad) with the case and you get to see a lot of others people cases.

Like Oneslowz said, the case is highly valued by many computer users. Great space and cable management and has the capability to watercool.

if you like the case buy it, who cares what others think?

unless the bad stories are of quality issues then i see no reason why it effects your decision. most of the replies seem to be a personal thing.

See Spawn Thats What Im Trying To Findout if There is Any Problems I Should Know About. And Thanks PauL Ill Check That Link Out.

I read through most of that link last night and 90% of the whining I saw about the case was the use of a steel frame vs aluminum frame and "its not a lian li". A few moaned about the grommets being plentiful but as stated, if you use an ATX board you will only see a few of them. Other than that it was a lot of "I would have done things this way if I designed the case" or "why did corsair not add this feature".

IMO it is a nice case and is hot swap ready. Not much air flow options but with the right fans it can be made work. It may just be me but if I am going to buy a $300 case I would be adding a water loop to the mix anyway.

True Im A Noob So Im Prolly Gunna Stick To Air Cooling For A Bit.

If you want to stick to air check out Cooler Masters Storm Sniper. They have a black edition also now which is the same as the one I reviewed but all black on the inside.
