    Corsair George got a reaction from Hackman8081 in Capacitors popping in my new Corsair TX650M   
    Hey, I'd like to get you a replacement PSU. Can you send me an email with your info at redbeard@corsair.com please?
     
    I'll make sure we get this sorted from you.

    The 780T will fit this no problem, it has more clearance than 760T and 750D due to the fan chamber above the steel structure.

    The Node 804 is about 41L in volume, the Air 240 is 33L, overall about 20% smaller. In person this is pretty significant. 
     
    More importantly, the footprint of the Node 804 is 207 square inches, and Air 240 is 159 square inches. This is very noticeable on the desktop. 
     
    The Node 804 and Air 240 are really designed to do completely different things. If you want or need a ton of drive capacity, the 804 is the better case.

    You have hit on it. The Air 240 was designed to be compact with high airflow. Growing a SFF case to fit a 160mm+ tall CPU cooler is not logical for us. If you want to fit a large tower cooler, there are numerous bigger SFF options like the BitFenix Prodigy or the Aerocool Dead Silence thing.

    Are you blind? Have you not seen the shit ton of other cases corsair has released that DO support tower coolers? 900D, 750D, 760T, 780T, etc...
    Obviously you cannot seem to conceive the fact that a small form factor case does not have room for a tower cooler. Water coolers are just as affordable as air coolers, some even less than $50. If you seriously cannot afford that, then why buy a $150 case.
    Also just because the product name is 'Air' doesn't mean it needs to be compatible with every air cooler. The 'Air' stands for air flow, which it has. If you want an air cooler in it you can find small towers that will fit, obviously not a NH-D15.

    You guys will get a lot more info on 3/25. 
     
    But for those keeping score:
    1 - ?
    2 - 250D
    3 - 350D 
    4 - ?
    5 - 550D 
    6 - 650D (nearing EOL)
    7 - 750D
    8 - 800D (now EOL)
    9 - 900D
     
     
    The 650D is 3 years old and very large and expensive for a mid tower. The 750D effectively replaced it, with more capabilities for less money. Sacrificing two features of the 650D (hot swap dock and side panel latches) we were able to make a REALLY good full tower for the price of a high-end mid tower. And you guys have responded, the 750D is flying off shelves.
     
    However, the #1 request for our Obsidian line (aside from Mini ITX, which we just launched) was a new mid tower to replace the 650D, because the 750D was too big for some. So we took a look around the market, gathered up some competitors' parts in the lab, did some testing, and developed something new. I think you'll like it. Though it'll be priced similarly to the H440, the focus is completely different, as that's their quiet product line, and really designed to kill the Define R4 from Fractal (and good luck to them! the R4 has been a monster for years! It'd be good to see some change.)
     
    If you like the 350D and the 750D, but want something in the middle, I think you'll be very happy on 3/25.

    Focus on 550D is silence. Focus on 350D and 750D has been watercooling expansion with decent airflow.
     
    Overall, there's a gap where you could increase performance and since the 650D had a mesh front for improved aircooling...
