Lazy!

The spec looks great, not much that could improve on really. Obviously spoke to a great customer service rep lol

 

[MickyG]

He'll want to get the Silver Warranty though

[DSN]

me and JakAttack got down and dirty with the spec.

dont want to wait until april for the case.

although i may upgrade when i get the gen3 ssd.

will probably end up OCing some 1600 rip jaw.

Ill void all the warrentys within 24 hours

 

[bg92]

What about corsair 650d?

 

[Phoenix]

You'd be better with the 800D if you can collect it for the extra space inside for your water cooling loops, it would be a good idea to take the silver warranty instead as well.

 

[PringlesInside]

whats the price for this build

 

[JakAttack]

I believe the final price for it as specced was £1455.00 inc.

If Obsidian 800D is selected you'd have to arrange manual collection etc. but we've been through all that

RipJaw RAM sounds good, that's some heavy duty RAM.

 

[DSN]

My original case was the 800, but im working away now to see if I can fit all the kit in a 600.

as the 800 is huge. and I do lan now and then.

 

[JakAttack]

Yes me and Gorman know all about that, 2 men to carry and all that jazz.....

 

[Meds]

Until the LAN Board came! w00p w00p!

 

[Phoenix]

Well my 600T is pretty heavy, it'd be even heavier with a watercooling setup though I'm not sure how you could even carry a fully loaded 800D around lol.

 

[Tom DWC]

My back thinks a mid tower is more than heavy enough already when you have to place it on to a shelf as inaccessible as the one below my desk, let alone an 800D.

 

[Meds]

lol, It's heavy. When Gorman returned to work after a LAN his arms were bruised & scratched, the LAN Board has saved him from the pain.

 

[Phoenix]

I've just been looking at the weight of a few cases and the 800D is actually 2.2KG lighter than the 600t so if going to LAN's is important then you might be better looking at lighter cases like something from Lian Li because most of their cases are made from aluminium. For example the PC-X1000B is only 6KG.
