Corsair Crystal 680X RGB

[Darksaber]

The Corsair Crystal 680X is the grown-up version of their 280X chassis. This bigger variant can not only hold a full-size system, but also offers better liquid-cooling support, comes with four fans, and plenty of additional storage. It looks like Corsair has taken their trusted and true approach and applied it to the Crystal series to give those who want a flashy cube chassis an extremely viable option.

This case not worth so much, steal-plastic???
I would always choose mine Lian Li PC-O11 WXC for same money over this.
It's more elegant and look more for adult people.
Price of this case is increased because CORSAIR controllers and links, I don't know even how much they have models and what everyone of them serve for.

This is a little bit better than Lian Li in terms of installing stuff. But you are right that Lian Li looks better. IRL that brushed aluminium is lovely (I have one Lian Li case too).

Also that controller is quite expensive.

Tho I suspect it also has better airflow than Lian Li you mentioned. Plus you can install graphic card to the side with some riser cable.

But they could use some nicer materials.. aluminium version of this would be really good.

I got the 540 and I've loved, was going to go for the 730 but now this has come along.

GN nailed this case against the wall, the "high airflow" aspect they considered [mostly] false advertising. Price also ludicrous.

basically Air 740 with lots of glass. Considering they include the LL120 Triple Fan set with Lighting Node PRO controller hub bundled with the casing, it's a big plus since you don't need to spend another $120 for the case fan set. Compared to the 678C, which is $200, is nowhere as feature packed as this.

$250 for a case...... nowadays with all the competition. Corsair plz

 

[Tsukiyomi91]

at least the money you will spend on this casing/chassis is brighter than Lian-Li's offering...

Wow, that thing is gonna be a dust *magnet* with its top glass panel.

 

[diatribe]

It's a little too shallow. I think they should have made it deep enough to install a 360 mm radiator in the top/bottom. I would also like to see the removal of the front glass. I can't get aboard this new design fad of placing fans behind glass and choking their airflow.

Yups, just like an updated 740. Would be pointless from upgrade from this.

 

[Redhead Senpai]

Were you able to use the USB Type-C connection from the case with your motherboard? Because I'd like to use it, but I don't want to upgrade from a Z370 to a Z390 board just for that.

When i finish cleaning case and loop i start to project case fol Lian Li price range 350. Case will be very similar to PC-O11. Only smaller and longer. Vertical mATX. Horizontal E-ATX. Bottom will be 5cm from desk with capability for up to 45cm thick 360 radiator below flor. Other 360mm will be on same spot as on PC-O8. PCI bracket will be on back side and on top for E-ATX motherboard. Every screew will have rubber for avoid scratching. Same material doors glass instalation process as on lian li aluminum cases. This is specific for Lian Li 80% aluminum 2 type of thickness 20% tempered glass. With mount for almost every type of pump top and reservoir. I have on paper project if someone use my idea i will sue him. Dual chamber case little longer but height than pc-o11. Matx will stay normal but eatx like on silverstone cases, vertical gpu kit separate will contain and pci-e x1 and x4 extender for sound card and pcie ssd behind gpu. Same roof will have as aluminum version of pc-011. Same magnetic filter, front panel above radiator will not make problem. 2x 120mm fan place on top forward and one 120mm on back side.
