00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:06.520
so I looked at this case and I went oh it's like the 600t but updated to be

00:00:04.640 --> 00:00:09.679
sleeker with like more features and stuff and then according to the

00:00:07.879 --> 00:00:13.799
reviewers guide uh that's exactly what they were going for so mission

00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:13.799
accomplished

00:00:18.880 --> 00:00:25.599
Corsair Cooler Master V series semi modular power supplies feature 80 plus

00:00:23.439 --> 00:00:30.320
gold efficiency and their gold guarantee 5-year warranty click now to learn more

00:00:28.439 --> 00:00:35.600
as always it starts with the Box that goes around the Box will your 780t reach

00:00:33.239 --> 00:00:40.440
you in one piece the answer is most probably the packing foam was broken in

00:00:38.160 --> 00:00:44.239
more than one place but ours had no visible damage on it whatsoever other

00:00:42.160 --> 00:00:48.719
than the Corsair badge that fell off which we then later found and reattached

00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:53.320
onto documentation and accessories Corsair's blown up view of the case with

00:00:51.199 --> 00:00:57.280
handy dandy screw type reference chart approach works well for this case but as

00:00:55.760 --> 00:01:01.239
always you can find a more complete version online speaking of screws

00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:05.400
Corsair includes everything you need but nothing in the way of eye-catching

00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:10.000
extras like those cool screw containers that fantex throws in with their

00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:13.960
similarly priced cases which leads to my first complaint about the case in the

00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:18.640
conclusion of this review of the original 600t an Onex writer who happens

00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:23.680
to be our technical marketing contact at cors there now small world says that

00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:28.520
compared to its Circa 2010 competition the build quality felt cheaper and that

00:01:25.880 --> 00:01:32.280
the casee was quite expensive 4 years later I feel like it's repl placements

00:01:30.360 --> 00:01:37.479
construction is still not impressive to me given the Fairly premium price tag

00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:41.640
cuz I'm just not that into the plastic look although some people may feel

00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:46.520
differently about this now to be clear I'm not calling the case bad and since

00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:51.000
it's a computer tower and not a support trust in the real world it'll likely

00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:55.960
never matter I'm just saying that much like the 760t which I reviewed here and

00:01:53.560 --> 00:02:02.240
think is an awesome Case by the way the 780t sacrificed some structural rigidity

00:01:59.520 --> 00:02:06.159
to the convenience and style gods in exchange for among other things a

00:02:04.399 --> 00:02:10.399
massive Plexi window that lets you see all the guts and all their Glory stylish

00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:14.720
plastic feet that keep the case off the floor so a bottom mounted radiator or

00:02:12.440 --> 00:02:18.879
power supply fan can still get access to fresh air and reconfigurable drive cages

00:02:17.440 --> 00:02:23.760
that can be hung from the top stacked from the bottom or removed alog together

00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:28.400
to make room for a 280 or 360 mm Radiator in the front and it's not like

00:02:26.200 --> 00:02:32.840
the whole design is Impractical anyway the front has a super easy to remove

00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:38.040
filter that reveals two of the included 140 mm fans and it's got two 5 and 1/4

00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:42.159
in bays in case you still use those at the top we find another easily removed

00:02:40.040 --> 00:02:48.920
fan filter this one revealing room for a thick 280 or 360 mm radiator Andor the

00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:51.959
accompanying fans front USB 2 front USB

00:02:48.920 --> 00:02:55.480
3 front audio a too easy to hit by

00:02:51.959 --> 00:02:57.200
accident IMO reset button a three mode

00:02:55.480 --> 00:03:02.680
fan controller that controls up to five fans and finally the same automobile

00:03:00.519 --> 00:03:07.120
design inspired power button that we first saw on the 380t a nice touch a

00:03:05.640 --> 00:03:10.599
quick glance at the back reveals water cooling holes another radiator mounting

00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:19.040
point pre-populated with the final included 140 mm fan this one without

00:03:13.760 --> 00:03:21.280
LEDs and sheesh nine PCI expansion slots

00:03:19.040 --> 00:03:24.959
that's enough for a triple slot card in the bottom of a standard ATX board a

00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:31.840
double slot card in the bottom of an eight slot xlx board or a double slot in

00:03:28.760 --> 00:03:35.680
Quad SLI on a standard board with ample

00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:37.319
Breathing Room the 780t is the 600t

00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:42.799
successor in more ways than just appearance this bad boy is meant to be a

00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:47.040
perfect choice for extreme systems running air cooling which doesn't mean

00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:50.439
that it lacks liquid cooling options either in addition to the mounting

00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:55.840
points I already mentioned the bottom of the case along with its front and rear

00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:57.920
access filters has a final 240 mm

00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:01.439
radiator mounting slot that you can use if you don't need your hard drive cages

00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:05.720
down there there all right so let's crack her open shall we the side panels

00:04:04.200 --> 00:04:12.079
can be released with handle style latches on either side and the first

00:04:07.959 --> 00:04:14.879
thing I notice is man this thing suffers

00:04:12.079 --> 00:04:20.079
albeit to a lesser degree than the 900d from Hardware dwarfism a condition that

00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:26.400
makes even high-end Hardware like this GTX 780ti and asws motherboard look tiny

00:04:23.960 --> 00:04:30.400
inside it this roomy interior is going to be a dream for folks with large hands

00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:34.520
or who want to throw additional stuff that Corsair didn't

00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:38.960
think of inside like motherboard tray mounted cylinder reservoirs other than

00:04:36.880 --> 00:04:42.560
sheer spaciousness there's nothing terribly groundbreaking about the

00:04:40.400 --> 00:04:46.919
interior though I like Corsair's removable 2 and 1/2 in toolless mounts I

00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:52.000
like the high quality rubber grommet material I like the adjustable height

00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:56.960
rear fan Mount and I really like the extremely spacious cable management area

00:04:54.440 --> 00:05:03.639
behind the motherboard tray with ample Cable Management Loops another 600t

00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:06.120
Carri over but at closer to $200 than to

00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:10.680
15 there are also a few things I feel like could have been improved so here

00:05:07.880 --> 00:05:14.199
come the uh nitpicky complaints some cable management could have been a bit

00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:18.560
better the front audio connector is long enough to connect to your neighbor PC

00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:22.160
and the top-mounted fans have only one place where wires can be routed but

00:05:20.400 --> 00:05:26.039
unless you're using the long leads on the cases built-in fan control or

00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:29.680
extensions to your motherboard it might not be very easy to access this is an

00:05:28.280 --> 00:05:33.039
issue for me because while I appre appreciate the built-in fan speed toggle

00:05:31.440 --> 00:05:36.840
one of the reasons I'm partial to assus motherboards is their excellent onboard

00:05:35.039 --> 00:05:40.720
fan control and this case makes it slightly less convenient to use which

00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:43.560
leads to nitpick number two there are two Cable Management grommet locations

00:05:42.520 --> 00:05:48.440
that I feel were left out of the motherboard tray top Center and bottom

00:05:45.919 --> 00:05:52.880
right almost every board has a CPU fan header in the top Center and front panel

00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:56.560
connectors bottom right I'm guessing that these were left out to maintain as

00:05:54.440 --> 00:05:59.759
much structural rigidity as possible given the way that the motherboard tray

00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:03.319
free balls without support from those removable hard drive cages but I still

00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:07.759
would have liked to have them which ties into nitpick three the hard drive cages

00:06:06.080 --> 00:06:12.639
I know we're stuck with them for a while because Corsair has so many cases that

00:06:10.080 --> 00:06:17.880
use the design but I promise to keep complaining about Corsair's 3 and 1 half

00:06:14.440 --> 00:06:20.039
in cages until they stop using them or

00:06:17.880 --> 00:06:25.680
everyone on Earth stops using hard drives and switches over to ssds

00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:33.039
whichever of those two things happens to come first which I guess leads us pretty

00:06:29.039 --> 00:06:36.120
well into to conclusion time the 780t is

00:06:33.039 --> 00:06:38.120
good but it didn't blow me away with its

00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:43.599
striking industrial design the way the 760t did it's good but not amazing and I

00:06:42.080 --> 00:06:48.039
also think they missed a huge opportunity to make the cable management

00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:52.520
look fantastic by putting a basement separation in this case rather than this

00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:56.360
open area with its kind of cheesy SATA cable management hole on the bottom that

00:06:54.440 --> 00:07:00.919
leaves the wires not only exposed but even visible through the large side

00:06:58.479 --> 00:07:05.720
panel window all of that said I feel obliged to remind longtime viewers of my

00:07:03.520 --> 00:07:10.199
show and tell the new ones that I tend to go a little hard on Corsair because

00:07:08.080 --> 00:07:13.319
my expectations of them are so high based on their history of innovation so

00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:18.720
take all these complaints in the appropriate context if anyone but Corsair had released this case I would

00:07:17.280 --> 00:07:23.120
have likely overlooked most of these flaws and praised the case as an

00:07:20.919 --> 00:07:27.120
Enthusiast air Cooler's Delight with some surprisingly solid build options

00:07:24.919 --> 00:07:30.680
for liquid coolers to and a striking industrial design with smooth curves

00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:36.520
well placed mesh and that front illumination that's a really nice touch

00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:37.960
so maybe that's the right conclusion but

00:07:36.520 --> 00:07:42.759
I'm not going to start going easy on George now right I mean I've been at it

00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:45.919
