corsair has finally launched their first ever chassis not a full aluminium casing as it is claimed by corsair that this a measurement to keep the price lower it is going about USD299 around a whooping RM1200 if it lands at our shores it's exterior is made of brushed aluminum faceplates and the interior consist of steel structure with a black matte coating
what i love the most about it is the convenience of cable managing your parts it's mobo tray is designed with ample holes for you to move your cables around so you wont need to struggle so much and loose some fingers in the midst of doing it the chassis comes with 3 fans with the flexibility of adding another 4 more 12cm fans 4 SATA hot-swap bays so u can just add in or take out HDD easier than ever! and while fixing up your new system, forget about screwdrivers coz you wont be needing it anymore! ok lar..maybe some parts like the mobo to the mobo tray still need but the optical drive bays are now tool-free installation that allows easy entry and easy access
