HDriscoll Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Just got the case on Saturday. Pros: 1) Tons of room. 2) Really like the HDD cages and the ability to put them where you want. 3) Included radiator mounts and the ability to mount radiators in multiple places. 4) Easily removable side panels (see below). 5) Like the wider design. Cons: 1) The side panels are tough to get off at times (maybe add a spring to push the panel out?). 2) The finish is not good. I'm thinking about getting some parts powder coated. 3) The lower doors don't line up all that well. Corsair needs to improve the quality control.

wytnyt Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 good revue and to add to the cons,many have complained about the lack of casters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDriscoll Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 For me, casters are not needed. Once my systems are built, they stay put. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pupnasty Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I do have to agree, the bottom doors do tend to suck and not line up very well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giltyler Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Nice review HD. One would expect no flaws at this price point. My 600T has been a nice case with a few alignment issues but costs only half of what the 900D sells for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDriscoll Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Having a closer look at the side panel issue. It looks as though the side panel drops too far down when installed to be released when you press the button. I may add a strip of felt to the side panel so it sits a little higher.

HDriscoll Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Update. I also found that the small nut on the hinges for the lower door is too tight causing the door to bend slightly. The top panel of the case is just bad. I would have liked it if you could remove it like the front panel and it be a solid piece of aluminum but with venting for a 480 radiator. Please get rid of the small "locating" pin that should be a motherboard stand-off. If you buy this case and you need a locating pin, you need a new hobby. Less external 5.25 bays would be nice. One final note. Please get rid of tool less "features". I've never seen the usefulness of this in any PC case. I will be modding this case. Pics to follow.
