I was just noticing my 2 yr old Case is back in Stock in all its glory at NCIX....think this case is now pushing 3 yrs old...have had mine for 2yrs.....great Case, particularly for Air Cooling, but also designed for Water.....and a hell of a lot lighter then those Corsairs!!
I love the HD Racks that simply slide out as well as the dedicated GPU Cooling system...very good Case for the coin :)

While the 800D is undefeated in terms of features and functionality, which IMO is enough reason to get the case, I find the case a little lacking in the looks department. Not that its bad, it actually rather looks awesome! but I find Lian Li's and Coolermasters to have a better appeal. Alot of case manufacturers are gearing towards this black internal "revolution", and while it does add a shady/badass look to it, I don't find it as sleek and sexy as the aluminum used in the ATCS/Majority of Lian Lis. The 800D and ATCS are actually in the same class, even though it might not seem to be the case, they are.

Again, its all subjective and it comes down to what you like/don't like.

I would pick the 800D over that without second guesses!

^^^ Do your research first....for Water perhaps.....(if you don't mind the weight..steel vs alum)...for Air the TJ09 is a hell of a lot more efficient with Cooling. I have seen / worked both and much prefer the Temjin over the Corsair, without a doubt ;)

Thiers a reason this Case was voted #1 a few years ago...read the specs and see the images in the link below..the only "negative" I can find with this Case is changing the GPU Dedicated Cooling Fan requirtes a complete tear dwon...takes me about 2 hrs o swap out that one Fan..the rest are a few minutes. Even has a dedicated 120mm (Horizontal mount) HDD Fan....5 total 120mm Fans....

Would be nice if the inside was black, but easy enough to correct ;)


As far as I'm concerned the Lian Li / Silverstone Cases are an entirely different "Class" than the Corsairs, Corsairs are in the same class as the HAF........800D, although great cable management, doesn't appeal to me at all.....hence the Case reflecting the "personality"...a personal choice

Looks is a moot point. Function over form is better IMHO.

If only Silverstone would upgrade that thing with a black interior...

Yep...my suggestions would be:
1. Black interior
2. A couple of extra cable holes (file n cutter did the trick)
3. I think the GPU Fan is a pita to replace, but then again I actually enjoy tearing apart my Rig every now and then...definitely need a good long / magnetic tip Phillips!!!

If I was taking a crack at building a WC Rig, I would certainly give the Corsair a shot!

I'm sorry but I have to disagree with you... The Corsair's finish is just too damn good, and I never mentioned anything about cooling preferences. Corsair has a ton more space to work with, is REALLY eye candy and just looks like it's a piece of art.

There's nothing about the Silverstone that I like, again, it's a matter of preference.

I love the case with out the window, so much more mature.
