They are older pics bro, I didn't have the camera with me at the time so I just used pics from the TPU site which were taken by a shitty camera phone.

i may have an opportunity to get a corsair 800d at a good price. should i tke it or get the atcs 840?
help

 

[francis511]

I read a review of the corsair 800d and the guy was wetting his pants like OMFG this case is THE best case evarrrr

 

[ckoons1]

LOL... that's a good answer

 

[v12dock]

800D hands down

 

[ckoons1]

is $250 shipped good?

 

[mlee49]

Sure is, I got my 800D for $250 at Microcenter a couple months ago. It's an awesome case, the black interior, the wire management grommets, the sleek front look, the ability to put watercooling inside the case, and the hot swap bays sure are sweet.

how is the air flow in this case? also how about 2nd radiator or can a 120.4 be installed at the top if 2 radiators can't be installed?

800D

what about atcs 840?
i just learned the airflow is poor in the CORSAIR 800D

 

[ckoons1]

i went with the black atcs 840 because of the better fans and air flow. i can also install my 2nd radiarot 120.2 in front of the hdd cage $169.00 shipped

 

[AhokZYashA]

yeah, forgot about that..
ATCS 840 is great airflow
HAF 932 is also good.

i saw a photo on the internet the guy had TWO 120.3 installed inside the ATCS 840 without modding WOW!
the CORSAIR 800D really looks cool but the no fan in front nor place for 2nd radiator without modding was a deal breaker

 

[Yukikaze]

That's pretty easy to do. You just sacrifice a few of the 5.25" drive bays and fit it in the same place where the 120.2 in the drive cage area in mine is.

 

[computertechy]

Didn't even know! That Extended U2-UFO CYO looks mighty tasty.

certainly does

my UFO Extended CYO cost £438.46GBP£528.46GBP and that was fully customized with a 5.25" triple acrylic drive bay cover and a shit load of UV cathodes

mountain mods cases are for leet ppl though



EDIT: Forgot about the £90 import charge.......money well spent though.

Just in the process of re-organizing my watercooling.
This is the reason why I love the ATCS:

Just sliiiiide it out. Easy peasy

THUMBS UP!

How many more 3dMark points or FPS in Supermario does that give you?

 

[ckoons1]

it just makes working on your pc more enjoyable

 

[erixx]

of course! but like a cassette type gearbox in motorcycles, most dont need it in their lifetime. Still super good but like 'easy' HHD and ODD systems, I prefer good old screws...

The huge removable tray of the ATCS 840 is worth its weight in gold when you are changing your system often. I even used it as a poor man's tech station when the WC loop was undergoing leak testing. Just having it helped me keep running my i7 system when I was converting it to WC (Which took about one very busy week) without disassembling the comp hardware itself too much (Pull tray out, pull the PSU out, setup on table, done).

While you're right that most people won't need it in their lifetime - People who buy cases like these are exactly the people who do need such a feature. Most people don't need a Raven, a 800D, or a HAF932 either, they'll be just happy with a generic 20$ comp case.

 

[erixx]

Yes. Reminds me of my first expensive computer: a Vobis Full Tower, and it had the tray. Back then I thought it was making life easier for the builders.... Later I became a DIY builder myself lol
