Nope no W/C unit.
Looked closer and the Corsair only has 4 HDD bays - possible 3 extra by PSU at a squeeze so probably rules it out

I'm looking to replace my trusty but 5yr old Akasa Eclipse 62 case and have considered the Corsair Obsidian http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Corsair- ... ns-w-o-PSU Does anyone have this case which they can give their opinion on it? If I ditched my existing case any ideas what its worth? |

I like the look and finish of the obsidian case but, considering you can have a TJ07S for less, I'd have a hard time justifying it. Are you putting WC in the case? Regards Spreadie |

I'm just in the process of building in the Silverstone Fortress and it's pretty damned good so far. What are you looking for in the case? |

Well case has to be:- 1) Roomy - my Akasa is easy to work with as big. 2) Plenty of HDD bays - already have 4 hard drives and sometimes have hard drives to "wipe" from old works PC's 3) A case with front e-Sata port 4) Not keen on LED fans - think they look naff 5) Light - so probably aluminium 6) HDD slots must have sound dampening - a big failing of the Eclipse is that the HDD cages have no rubber mounts. The Fortress does look a nice case but a tad cramped re. graphics card - I have a GTX 285 (soon to be replaced by Radeon 5870) and it looks a bit tight for 1 of those to fit - also no front eSata port. The Lian Li P80B (Armoursuit) looks very nice - has front eSata port, enough space for 6 hard drives, fully aluminium and can have wheels fitted - only downer appears to be the blue LED fans and the price tag! Even looks like my PSU would fit ok (Corsair HX 1000W) - a bit long. |

Yes Jon that does. Also looking at this Coolermaster http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Coolerma ... ck-w-o-PSU Coolermaster does not have wheels so would have to modify it to fit some. |
