Is anyone else excited for the Corsair Slate?

[ErrDeeEff]

I can't express how excited I am for the Slate concept Corsair had shown off earlier this year. I am probably going to be the first to preorder the case as long as its not $600 or more.

 

Is this just me? I like the look of the case but I wanted the dual MOBO option to be completely honest and the Enthoo Elite is just really ugly to me.

i mean how many people need two computers in the same spot

I'm excited, but it's going to be way too expensive for me. But if you really need dual mobos and RGB, it's a great buy

Who cares? I'll invent a reason!  

[potoooooooo]

It's just so unnecessary and gaudy, why bother? I can't imagine ever actually using something like that.

[dizmo]

Nah, too big. Plus it just looked...ugly.

I honestly can't see this being cheap either, considering the smaller single motherboard variant is supposed to be almost $300.

Yeah you caught me, but no I'm not from Corsair, I just made this account yesterday and I expected to get notifications about posts but they never came through. But back on track, I wanted the ability to have a secondary computer if need be inside the same case, without having any server rack cases. I personally really like the look of the case, and I like the sliding out radiator mounts on the top and front. I don't mind the price as long as its under $600. Chances are the case will last me a long time so there won't be any need to buy another any time soon. They're very in the dark about it though, even if they had shown it off only two months ago it seems as though they hadn't given much info then. I'd love for it to come out something THIS YEAR, but my hopes aren't high.

OP has 1 post, clearly they're part of Corsair's PR team.

Really? Just walked over to PR and asked around. No ErrDeeEff around here. :^)

I'm the one that built this for COMPUTEX! It was a blast but quite a challenge. Trying to fit all of that hardware into it was fun! I threw a 60mm thick radiator into this thing thinking it would just barely cut it, but it had more space... so I did push/pull config on that radiator and I still had room. You could probably do 80mm thick radiator in push/pull and be just right. I just love how the I/O and the front logo did the rainbow wave, it's one of the coolest features I've seen in a case!

 

Please understand that this case was just a concept. I am unable to answer any questions about it in regards to its availability and release date, as I do not have the answer. Thank you for understanding!

It was sarcasm. I just forgot the /s rule of sarcasm club.  I also forgot the one where you don't talk about it.

Gotta smash that /s button bro!

Of course it's a concept, but why show it off if you aren't interested in producing it eh? Well that's the entire reason I want the case, the compatibility and flexibility.

 

Plus I really like Corsair build quality. No problems with my 750d at the current moment. (I'm just over the top so why not fit my personality. )

Well he was being obviously sarcastic too, thought I'd point in out just in case you didn't catch the subtleties.

I'm a very forward thinking person, even if I don't need it I tend to get excessive.

So, you are with their PR team!

 

I wish, I'd probably make more money than now, and for being very vague as well.

[ErrDeeEff]

Am I seriously the only one who saw that case and got a burning hole in their pocket? If it could my money would be already growing wings and flying to Corsair.

[Icarus_]

Agreed. I want, nay; I need. 

[stalewind]

I have to admit, the Slate is ridiculous. So insane, that it's perfect. Consider the possibilities. One man could end the AMD/Intel war with one glorious build. ThreadRipper (obviously on top doing all the work) with a nice little 8700K below to play with. Could there a more perfect union?
