so we pulled off all of the tape and plastic covering bits so there were a
few different ones uh first of all there's one holding the front bezel on
because you can actually well my assumption is that you can actually pop
that off but we'll figure that out later there was one holding uh this this piece
closed um I think that was pretty much it for tape so let's start at the front
so at the front we see just like the 800d we've got all of our front panel
connectors why are you down there we've got all of our front panel connectors as
well as our start and and uh Power LED
reset switch all of that good stuff is up here I'm not sure where that other
front USB 2.0 is I wonder if they mean
either 4 USB 2.0 or 2 USB 3 2 USB 2
either way it's no uh no major loss I mean you only need so many front USB so
the overall fit and finish of the front bezel looks very very similar to the
800d very nice quality very nice quality piece here okay so let's move around to
Let's to this side okay so we' got a window which has kind of a frame around
it okay gives it a very clean look the side panel is toolless so all you got to
do is hold down these little um latches
here and you can open and close it that way let's move around to the back where
we will find eight expansion slots a 120
mm exhaust fan our I/O slot as well as a
bottom mounted power supply and a bottom
mounted fan filter just like the 800d exception shorter and narrower all right
then on the other side we're going to actually we're going to take this one right off I'm going to show you guys the
overall look of the side panels so the side panels are quite stiff not a whole
lot of flex to them you can see this mechanism here looks quite robust so
you're not going to worry too much about that braking over extended use all right
inside is all black as we've come to expect from cor aair cases you can see
it has a huge CPU
out so you're going to be able to access the back of your motherboard however and
from whatever angle it is that you need to do that from okay let's finish up
with the cooling first so up here in the top you can see we've actually got a lot
of different fan mounting options so it comes with a 200 mm fan but you can also
Mount 2 140s using these holes or 210s
using I don't know what holes but use you can do 220s or 240s or a single 200
mm okay let's go ahead and take this side panel off show you guys the inside
of the window so that's a fixed with screws and it's just a piece of some
kind of acrylic or Plexi something like that
okay internal oh no one last external
feature that I did want to show you guys actually if uh fine we can look at this
now so here in the front we've got our Corsair logo and we've also got our
other 200 mm fan and in terms of mounting options it looks like a 200 mm
fan is all that goes there and you do
not have the option to mount something else like you do in the top okay one
last external feature up here in the in the top you can see right here gives us
a guide so if you want to install a 3 and 1/2 in hot swap drive you can do
that and it'll just push it down and if you want to install a 2 and 1/2 in hot
swap drive then it'll guide it into the correct position so then you can swap it
like it's hot it's crazy Russian wanted me to say
that he's filming this for me in cameraman's dead cameraman's actually on
vacation right now I can't get it out oh oh here hold on we've also got our fan
speed controller in here I didn't even see that little switch so we basically
got low medium and high I'm going to
pull that out okay there good excellent closed all right let's have a look at
the inside internal features we got our
motherboard tray which is apparently designed by Corsair much like the rest
of the case the grommets used here are
um I'd say they're a little stiffer than some of the some of the uh well the most
flexible ones that I've seen but you can clearly see that if you put something in
put some pressure on it and withdraw it you're still going to they're still
going to come back to their original position so nice high quality grommets
uh the power supply Mount is raised up a little bit off the bottom of the case
honestly it's pretty much irrelevant because you've got this ventilation here
as well as this filtered intake so you can mount your power supply no matter
what power supply you're using no problem fan side down so it can draw
nice fresh air filtered air through the bottom of the case what else do we got
in here here you can see the inside of the 200 mm fan that's included okay then
we've also got a 120 mm fan at the back which wasn't mentioned actually on the
outside of the box but I mean I can't imagine Corsair releasing a case without
a 120 mm fan given that their water cooling solutions all rely on 120 mm
fans so that wouldn't make any sense at all then would it we've also got
speaking of water cooling a couple of water cooling grommets so if you wanted
to do an external mounted rad you could run the tubing through there as I
mentioned before at the back eight internal PCI Express brackets so that
gives you a couple options you could install a motherboard with eight PC or
did I say PCI Express I guess I meant PCI but either is fine uh so you can
either install a motherboard with eight PCI slots at the back or you can install
a motherboard with seven and a PCIe 16x slot at the bottom and then you can
install a graphics card that is dual slot in there and it will still have room to exhaust all right we've got tons
and tons of cable management grommets including uh gaps at the top here and
more importantly here to bring through the 8 Pin or four pin CPU power
connector or connectors what do we got here in terms
of internal connectors speaking of connectors all right we've got uh a
ziplock bag which has a Corsair sticker
in all likelihood although I don't see it some rubber grommets some screws some
zip TI okay here is all of our wow that's a
whack of internal cables okay so I'm
just going to try and find out how to how to take this
off come on oh I see it's probably a
fixed from the back yes yes it is that took me way too
long to figure out
okay there we go so this this is like a
lot of cables it's a good thing Corsair makes all of their cables black
otherwise managing all of this plus power supply plus whatever the heck else
data cables you need would be a mess
okay so back here we've got our fire wire we've got our HD audio we've got
our USB 2 we've got our USB 3 you can see the way the USB 3 works is via the
running out the back of the case and plugging into the back of the io Shield
although I would expect adapters to be available fairly shortly so that you can
use those brand new fancy internal headers with your brand new fancy case
all right so that's all of that and then we've got fan connector okay no we've
got our front panel so that's our power switch LEDs reset switch all that good
stuff and then we have fan connectors so here's the power for the fan controller
that we uh saw with that switch up at the top and then you can plug up to four
fans directly into it and control all four fans so the four fans they intend
for you to use are the 200 mil at the front a 120 m at the back and then up to
240s or 2220s at the top we have a
tooless mechanism here for the drive cages so it's just a simple rocker one
so all you have to do is push that in well pull it out put in your drive push
it in okay fairly straightforward and here we have toolless hard drive trays
so they've got 2 and 1/2 in mounting holes here and then 3 and 1/2 in drives
are going to be mounted via the pegs here they look flimsy but as soon as you
put a drive in them and snap them in I guarantee you they're not going anywhere
now one of these cages is actually removable actually these cages are
removable and I believe they can actually be rotated
but don't quote me on that one yet we
will find out maybe it's just one of them that can be rotated here we go
thumb screws handy love the thumb
screws okay so that did
that and then
oh okay give me a moment here
guys okay I was mistaken it looks like what this feature is actually for is to
remove the hard drive cages which clearly we've done and then you can I
guess you can access this fan to clean it for whatever reason or whatever but
what it's also for is installing very very very long graphics cards so corser
has left enough room for graphics cards to become pretty much double the length
of a motherboard and you will still be able to to install them in the
650d without any difficulty whatsoever
okay the last thing we're going to show you guys in our unboxing and preview or
whatever you want to call it first look that's what I usually call it is how to
remove the front bezel so all you got to do is pull up these
TS and remove the front bezel so the
front bezel from the inside you can see it has a metal metal sheath outside of
it but the inside is actually plastic we've got fan filter here which um H is
or is not removable it's got to be it's got to be
removable yes it's removable so there you go there's your front fan filter and
it is removable maybe that's what crazy Russian was trying to show me earlier
okay and then from the front you can I don't know install drives see fans
uninstall this fan potentially thank you for checking out my video on the Corsair
and I'll pose this here yeah that looks
good it's not going to stay now stay on the Corsair
