Guest_Jim_* Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 Another color change. Well, we don't have a review of the original black. Pros: PRETTY! Most important pro for a case to have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaporX Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 I will reserve final judgement for when I can get my hands on one but this looks like a nicer case than the 600T. I love the cubby tray at the top! A feature I wish every case had. BTW Jim looks are important, the features of cases are pretty typical now with most cases having great features for building. Looks are the way a case can stand out and the White with Black acent look is a nice trend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The appearance is always among the most important aspects of a case because that's what you and anyone else will see. If I came off as mocking or sarcastic, I'm sorry; it was not my intent. Though I do find it a little humorous how "pretty" was in all caps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 I really love the look of it. I am a big fan of the 600T white case and this looks great as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zackhaf Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 I have to agree. I quite like the look of the corsair cases. I like the fact that they are not outrageous or way to flashy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the way the case looks but I still like the feel and ease of the 600T. I wasn't trying to disagree.

After reviewing a bunch of a cases in a row they all start to sound the same to me. "This is a case, this is what it does." I at least try to keep those of you who read a bit of it somewhat entertained. Well she really likes the way it looks. har har WACO.

I at least try to keep those of you who read a bit of it somewhat entertained. I know what you mean; just look up my items on graphene. Occasionally I can find a way to fit in something entertaining to me, but often it's a joke that only I will get. First two to come to mind are the William Castle reference in Feeling the Games we Play which has a link to explain itself, and the "in fifty years" comment in Graphene Boosting Batteries is actually a small reference to my book, which itself is filled with references to even more things. I did try to have some fun with the Superluminal Neutrino Paper Submitted to Journal item though. I asked bp9801, but wasn't clear with why, to post a comment before I published the item, saying I misspelled word. Would have been great if he had and the comment's timestamp was before the item's. Thank you for entertaining me with the PRETTY! You succeeded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
