The Corsair 900D was too small

VSG
So I traded it for a CaseLabs TX10-D

Don't mind the empty bays in the front, I was fitting in some of my 5 1/4" bay devices and getting the whole flex bay concept in my mind. I got a great deal on the case, tons of accessories, a Black Ice SR1 560, a Mo.Ra Pro 3, fans and so forth- couldn't really say no to it.

 

I will make a build log for both sides soon, but there won't be much action on the main side till Haswell-E comes out.

Are you compensating for something?

 

 

 

 

Just a joke, but seriously why? It will take up so much room.

I hope some of that will be dedicated to some kind of fridge or perhaps a small oven.

I will have 2 PCs in it of course so there alone it has its own place. The 900D was really, really cramped with everything I had in it and I needed 2 PSUs for just my own rig when benching the 780 Ti Kingpins. The extra rad space here will be useful and I can turn off most of the fans when not needed making it pretty darn silent. Plus, the deal was ridiculous!

 

Not much compensating lol :P

Is it possible to attain positive pressure in there?

All rad fans will be on intake, but honestly I am not going to have any filters at all. All rads will be on quick disconnects and on easy to remove/install rad mounts so I can take them off and dust them outside. My room is also pretty dust free so that will help.

Rooms are never dust free ;)

I'm all about space efficiency, and this case is the opposite. I really don't understand the need a consumer would have for this case. For a server case for a small to medium sized business it would make sense.

That's where the most business for this case comes from, but for me the ability to put in a Mo.Ra inside and have enough room for 2 separate builds was the selling point. Space is not an issue for me but I definitely don't recommend this to anyone in a small apartment.

 

To be fair, I have the actual case on a pedestal and extended top so the case itself is quite a bit shorter.

Yes i can but due to the weight and price the 25% import tax would make me flip tabels, and incase it gets damaged it would be a pain in the arse to send it back.

 

There are retailers in Europe who sell CaseLabs cases, OcUK and CaseKing are examples I can think of now. They also will take care of warranty for you given the general Euro laws. These cases are also shipped flat packed so shipping is not too bad, at least in the US.
