That looks like the case DST4ME was asking about. The Corsair case? Or is that a Lian Li? Got pretty pictures though.

Edit: Definitely looks like the Corsair 800D case with modding somewhat. Really cool. Makes me wish i'd waited a few weeks to order, hot swap bays would help alot.

The frostbite system they used in the preview pics looks a lot different than the one in all the other builds... wonder if they're changing that up again, too. Also wonder if it comes standard, since in the intro page it says "Our FrostBite liquid cooling system, featured with this computer..."

That'd be neat.

I don't much like the window either but it has other things that make it worth it for me.

the LC system on the pic is using a red tube vs the old one that was clear tube with red liquid, I could be wrong but thats how it looks to me.

Nah it is the same tubing with a bit of "modification"

Your results may vary. ;)

Aww! I liked the fluid colors better....Will you be able to request it instead of the the colored tubes? And, just to clairify, you guys are still doing your FrostBite cooling on the HailStorm case right? Because the cooling in the pictures doesn't look the same at at all. There are no wires around the tube that prevent kinking. If your still doing it, are you changing the way that FrostBite is set up? (lol sorry about all the question...)

everything is the same, the tube is different color, it doesn't have the anti kink coils in the pic and the pic has a triple rad.

however I believe frostbite is the same, you can ask for whatever you like still so if you want clear tube and the anti kink coils, they will do it for you.

lol I'm going with UV tubes and UV liquid to see if it will get richer, if not then I will just use clear.

Ya I agree UV/Color tube is best way.

The picture has our FrostBite with the triple radiator option.

You will be able to pick tube colors, and by doing this, it improves the longevity of your fluid because then we can switch to clear fluid as well.

Oh ok thats cool! Personally, I just think that the color tubing doesn't look as cool...But that's just my opinion. It doesn't really matter though. Whatever changes help improve the system in anyway are always better than going by just looks! ^_^
