Corsair One

[JAKEBAB]

This would be so sexy if it was made out of thick pieces of aluminum. (one can dream)

[BingoFishy]

Kinda ugly IMO

That's just too small for me. I like computers to be big and open. 

Ive got this case with a gtx 1070 strix,  4790k with a noctua c14s. Temps are the same as any larger case. 

 

No reason not to prefer it imo. But then i have a EATX case on my main rig lol

Corsair One, looks a lot like the Zalman T series case.

Corsair has LED

The side panel has textures,

the top has some sort of fan whatever

The front panel is vertical and in front

No ODD

I have no idea how that looks the same, well maybe the color, yes they are all black

Both have a rectangular shape design.

Ah! They are all black and are all rectangular. Yes very similar. Very similar to other 1000000 cases out there that fits those aspects lol

I meant vertically not horizontally.

Blame it on the people who want to buy cheap things.

Hey my 30 dollar case case is metal... aside from the front.

 

I'm so cheap look what I was willing to do rather than spend more money on my case:

I'm not saying that cheap cases aren't bad. I'm just saying that if people keep buying cheap things with poor build quality the companies will keep making them.

[TroubleKlef]

I wonder if they will sell the case stand alone. I like it.

I'm surprised EVGA hasn't fully jumped into the prebuilt market. While Corsair is a big brand, EVGA does more on a component level than they do. They have their own graphics cards, cooling, PSUs, motherboards, and a case or two. I imagine their costs would be lower. I think Corsair is biting off a little more than they should but we'll see how it goes.

I think a decent counter-argument would be that people find their phones more valuable now that they're made of metal, so they go to further lengths to protect them. Hence, the perceived value is a lot higher. There's also the simple fact that more people have adopted smartphones, which have a higher chance of breaking, and they also cost a lot more than they used to.

 

Very few plastic phones were made to a decent level of quality. Nokia was the only one that I can think of that actually made a nice feeling one. Too much gloss. The Note7 was very high quality, the issue had nothing to do with the body materials. Not sure why you'd even mention that.

With the setup I mentioned and an SFX PSU, you could fit most gaming pc's in this: 

My next PC will be considerably smaller than that

True, but most newer motherboards support NVMe. It's an odd stance to take, saying older systems need bigger cases when the original post was more of a generalization going forward.

The cases you chose to compare are different sizes. Larger area means more flex. Interestingly enough, a tempered glass panel in the 780T would likely reduce flex.

You think tempered glass side panels are an accident waiting to happen? I suppose if one was rough with their stuff, sure.

For a majority I'd say it's not a problem at all.

I mentioned the Note 7 because it turned out to be a low quality product using materials that are marketed by reviewers as high quality. It's a shining example of what is advertised as premium as not actually being high quality.

That doesn't really counter my point of these materials making for a higher quality device. Only that some people view them that way. People didn't feel that way with high end phones that were made of plastic, because they could survive a few drops on hard surfaces, like concrete. That's a hard thing to say about modern metal phones.

 

Hell, Kyocera has been making high quality phones (albeit sporting lower specs) such as the Hydro and DuraForce PRO that use high quality plastic for their bodies. Those phones can be thrown and survive.

Most newer, medium to higher end mainboards support M.2 NVMe, but budget boards (assuming the manufacturers are cutting 'nice to have, but not necessary' features, and not the quality of the device) are more likely to forgo M.2 period, or just support SATA/AHCI, for a few more years.

My point still stands. The "higher quality" material itself isn't actually higher quality. Instead, the actual build quality of the "cheap" plastic panel is superior. Also, when I say more flex, I'm talking about a significant amount more than just adding more area would result in.

If it were really tempered, it wouldn't be. But what they use isn't truly tempered glass, it's a more fragile safety glass. Whether someone is rough or not, accidents still happen, and glass is a bitch to clean up.

[Misanthrope]

Considering they make cases, ram power supplies, fans and cpu cooling, kb&m and have partnered with GPU manufacturers too I'm surprised they didn't do this earlier.

You're still incorrect. It was a high quality product with a faulty component. There is a difference.

 

Hence why I used the word perceived. Most metal devices withstand an impact just as well as plastic, in some cases more so. Metal will deform. Plastic will crack and break. The reason phones are weaker now is the display being weaker, as well as closer to the edge of the device.

 

Yes, they do. Look at the bezels. Huge. Thus, the screen is more protected.

 

And those users aren't likely to buy an NVMe drive, or need one. Your argument doesn't make sense.

 

So..we should all have plastic cups then too, no? I mean heaven forbid should we drop one...
