MxPhenom 216 · Dec 14, 2011, 07:16 AM

For people who helped me decide to buy the 500r case from this thread, I have made a new thread in the right category that will contain pictures of my open boxing tomorrow evening and then this weekend I will be posting pictures of my build in its new home.

Stay Tuned for a mass amount of pictures!

Here's to wishful thinking.

@ N-I-FTW

Can't wait to see the pics.

MxPhenom 216 · Dec 14, 2011, 05:46 PM

its "out for delivery" right now, so itll be here sometime after 1 i think

MxPhenom 216 · Dec 14, 2011, 08:11 PM

its here!!!

happita · Dec 14, 2011, 08:15 PM

Yay!!!

MxPhenom 216 · Dec 14, 2011, 08:39 PM

and its smaller then i thought, but i like it!

The Attention to detail with Corsair cases is amazing, such a nice case and build quality is great. So glad this case doesn't make it obvious that its plastic thrown together into a box form like my HAF 932

JATownes · Dec 14, 2011, 08:44 PM

Congrats NI-FTW!!! That is a pretty sweet case you got there! A buddy of mine is actually thinking of ordering one. When can we expect pics?

Damn, that is a sweet looking chassis. I love the way the front fan ports are done, with only the 120mm hole showing through the mesh. VERY NICE!
