They just posted this link on their Twitter account.

 

There is not much to say about this case, because there are already some videos about the case.

But anyways:

• Tons of cable routing tie downs for easy cable maintenance
• Tool free installation of all drives

 

It will be published at a price of: $89.99

 

I like the implementation of the watercooling compatibility, but I hate the outside look of it.

Like many people already said: It is just an elephant sitting on the 350D.

 

I wish they've come up with another mITX solution.

I also wish that they expand their other case series for example the Graphite series.

Edit: They actually do expand the Graphite series *__* (Link)

 

Edit: This explains the PSU questions:

[Mitrailleuse]

I still prefer the bitfenix prodigy.

[Skylark]

Where does the psu go lol

[brownninja97]

Awww its so cute, i wanna hug it and cuddle it and hug it and........

[Lost2Frostbite]

Full size PSU? They say it is but how?

[brownninja97]

Where does the psu go lol

psus are too mainstream.

Me too

It goes under the motherboard.

There is a bottom compartment.

[chicksoup]

looks awkward

If you need a case for a space that isn't that tall, but wide that would be a good case. or a LAN box, it could probably be really easy to carry around. at least to just a lan party.

[Crowcore]

How cuuute!

[MasterJV]

Would have liked a new design. That design looks good on the 350D and 750D but now it looks too... Cute on the 250D

I can't believe you posted this before @TopWargamer .

Just posted the H105 thread, and missed 4 more reveals from corsair.

New Raptor peripherals including RGB Keyboard and some other stuff.

It really makes fun to bring some news to this forum.

Maybe I become a journalist later *_*

Maybe if you work hard enough. BTW, I suggest updating the thread. The MSRP of this case is $90 USD. I might consider this case for my ITX build.

[Whiskers]

Ew.

 

They've taken their normal tower cases, shrunk them then fattened them. Why not just design an awesome case for that form factor of simply stretching an already-existing design?!

[L0rd Log1c]

Do not want, and this is the first Corsair case that makes me feel that way. I really don't like boxed cases, I would have much rather liked to see a design similar to the Raven mITX but with Corsairs style and though put into it (but that wouldn't have had room for their PSU's...) If you want an mITX case I would wait for the unnamed Nanoxia case they had at Computex last year, it could fit 2 240mm radiators or a big aircooler. Hmm, I found the photos bit confusing.

[ChillKyle]

Needs a handle.

[LaMokona]

If only it'd come out a bit earlier. Just started an m-itx build.
Also, interior design reminds me of the HAF XB

[TopWargamer]

If it doesn't show up in my Facebook feed, I don't see it.

[KylSp]

Oversized mITX kind of defeats the point of the platform imo. Nice case but it's big and bulky just like the prodigy.

[Muffinator]

What's the clearance for tower air coolers? Doesn't look like there is many options on that front...

[R4STABAN]

Much nicer than the prodigy imo.

 

Only one change I'd make: That entire front panel should be one sheet. Get rid of the 5.25 bay.

[Suika]

I'm actually offended. From the Obsidian series? It's a box with holes! Where's the beauty?!

[theABCshop]

Why's everybody complaining? They've made 3 cases now in this generation that had the exact same cosmetics but were just different sizes. Use your brain.

[old reece frost]

I don't like it.
