Sorry but it's boring... Slightly wider & taller than the Ode V3 but more narrow case depth. Not as attractive as the versatile Corsair 600T chasis in my humble opinion, no 200 mm fans or included mesh side panel either. Yawn.

What about the 780T? It's more rounded like the 600T. Corsair 780T Edited by Nav - 19 Jun 2014 at 12:58pm |

Yup, I think the 780T looks WAY better and maintains the roomy flexible interior...and while it doesn't use 200mm fans, it will support 2 x 360mm rads + a 240mm in the bottom and that would open up new LC possibilities...and I'd guess the accessories will be there at some point for mesh to increase air.

You guys recommend the 600T or the 760T? I can’t choose, everyone else I asked told me to go with the 600T. My only problem is that I like the look and design of the 760T it’s just that all the reviews i’ve read about it, claim that the acrylic glass is flimsy and the case overall is flexible.
The only problem I have the with 600T is that the side panel window is not symmetrical with the latch handles. Okay, okay, i’m just joking. Even though my OCD is killing me. Anywho, I do like both designs. Has anyone experienced anything with the 760T? Lmk, if you have. |

Having a 600T, I can tell you it's easy to work inside, very flexible for modding, parts & accessories are available and there is a wealth of knowledge out there on how to do it and what actually works well.
The new 780T comes out in Sept if you can wait till then....and it definitely looks worth waiting for... |

It looks really blocky and bulky, not my taste at all. I really like the simplicity and the roundish look of the 600T, I'll probably go with it and install lights myself. It looks really awesome with the lights from what I've seen from google.
Unfortunately, I'm not patient at all. I currently have an iMac 2011 right now and it can't even run counter strike on low settings. I don't even know why I bought it, I guess I never got into the PC side of the world. I'm still researching so ill let everyone know what I have chosen in my soon to be a positive review of it.

I have the 600t going on 3 years and can say it's built like a tank. Durable and roomy. The front panel fan control has been an issue for a lot of us, failing after a year or two but not sure if it's been fixed. The extra side mesh panel that can mount up to 4x 120mm fans is a big plus.
I like the Apollo 760t case for showing off the innards and the front fan setup. If the front fans reach back further than the 600t front 200mm fan than its my pick. The 780t looks like a winner. |

I agree with you on the 760T panel. But it just seems really big for my tasting. Not a lot of lighting room, only the 2 panels on the bottom and top. The front fan set up is definitely really hot, I can vouch for that. The only reason Im skeptical about his case is because I saw a review of a guy basically flexing it, and it looks really flexible. He tapped the glass panel and it looks wobbly. I'm gonna try to find that review again to double check.
600T: Nice, solid, good window size, and the design is sweet. 760T: looks to be flimsy, kinda cheap, but the look and design is really sweet. I would've bought this case if it was made of metal. |

Apparently, my friend, you've never been IN a tank. The last thing they are is roomy. Yes, durable can describe them but, holy heavens, they are about as far from roomy as my assets are from Bill Gates'.
Claustrophobics need not apply.
We now return to our regularly scheduled thread....

Yeah, I should have separated the words durable and roomy with, 'and also'. My thoughts and my fingers were not in sync.

i have the 600t. i love it. this design looks great too, though couldnt comment about the build. kind of miss the white trim on the front panel like the 600t, the all black look on the front of this doesnt catch my eye the same. as for the new one, it seems to have more clearance underneath for potential power supply airflow than the 600t, which is an improvement.

Somehow I missed this. The other day I was helping a friend look at DS laptops when I noticed a new system I hadn't seen before. I'm just behind the times.
