Overall and FV
Having spent a while with the 800D I can see how this was such a game changer for the case manufacturing industry. Corsair once again did what they do best, make a better mouse trap. My experience with the 800D was positive from opening up the box, installing our rig into it, and putting it all to use with a little gaming. I did have a few concerns with the 800D’s weight, this is obviously not a case you would want to carry to and from LAN’s very often. Even more alarming was the cases performance in an all air cooling setup. Those of you looking to build that “ultimate” rig should consider picking up or piecing together a nice water cooling solution. Corsair did a great job making sure you would have more than enough room to install nearly any setup, including going all the way up to a 360mm push and pull radiator up top. I’m excited to see what they come up with in the future for a flagship case, it’s going to take a lot of work to upset the market like they did with the 800D. One thing is for sure, I hope next time it includes support for the new XL-ATX motherboards and more cooling.
