  1. Personally, I have never a fan of full tower cases. Bigger is not always better. The 540 has a smaller overall footprint, mainly front to back length and shorter height. This allows me more flexibility to place the desktop in my home office. The amount of internal space and compartmental layout makes building the 540 a breeze. This layout gives several options for cooling/cable management the HAF can only dream about. In the HAF case, I used a Corsair H80i mounted in the rear fan exhaust. For the 540 case, I switched to an H100i cooler. With the unobstructed air flow, change of CPU coolers, my temps have dropped a noticeable level. I now run the case fans at a lower RPM, and also noticed a drop in the sound level as well. I never understood the idea behind placing the HDD cages directly in the path of air in most case designs. Oh yeah, I almost forgot the most important mod on my build, the removal of the red led's in the Sound Blaster Z(snip goes the warranty). The amount of light these led's output is obnoxious. I planned on replacing them with lower output white led's, but found the sound card works fine with the led's removed. A nice addition to the 540 would be a dust filter kit. .....or releasing SP140 fans.
  2. First time on the Corsair forums... ;): Just a couple of pics from my recent swap from a Cooler Master HAF case into an Air 540. Nothing fancy, only actual mod is the purple painted screen on the case. http://imgur.com/8qFb7iX.jpg http://imgur.com/CLBrwdA.jpg http://imgur.com/qafEK0h.jpg http://imgur.com/I4AdWBY.jpg http://imgur.com/dCJGyh0.jpg
