Im planning on getting this case but.. I would like to know how many people actually like it.
This is my planning build.

If you guys are able to take some pics of your builds. That would be awesome. :D 
And if anyone has a h220 in this case, PICS PLEASE!?!?!

I got a sample of one and I actually really like it. There's also an NCIX PC video going up soon on the NCIX YouTube channel that showcases a build in it.

Hardware Canucks also has an excellent video review of it:

if you want you can check out my video where I install the  Swiftech H220 pump, 120mm, 240mm, and a 360mm radiator into Corsair Carbide air 540..

Have you tried just with the h220 out of the box, without modding it?

I bought mine on early release direct from Corsair shortly after Computex. It's an AWESOME case! I switched from a 600T. I have a H100i on push/pull on the top of the case. There's plenty of room for it. I don't have pics of my build other than my forum avatar.

I'm using one too, running a 3570k with H100i only doing pull from the top. Like the previous user said, it does have a lot of room for cooling, and it looks great with the large clear window, I just wish it has more 3.5" drive bays, I now have to plan my HD upgrades a little more carefully.

 

I posted this in another thread, I have the MSI Z77A-GD65 MB and the front panel connection cable from the Air 540 is rather short, I bought a extension cable (NZXT 11.8" Front Panel Combo Cable Set) for it, which at the end worked out pretty well, but I do wish the original cords from the case are longer.

Does anyone know if this case would work well in a micro atx build? I'm not sure what case to go with i'm thinking of the 350D but i'm not sure if anything else might be good.

My friend is getting the 350d. I think the 350d would be better.

Yes, you can install switch h220 without any issue, I would recommend it over the h110i 

 because its expandable

If you plan on watercooling it would be amazing. I had plans of modding it to fit a 80mm 240 rad on the bottom. With one set of fans it would be perfect for a mATX board. With that you could also fit a 60mm 360 on the front with 1 set of fans
