So, what's the consensus of Corsair's dual-chamber cases?
bump for interest
Personally I love the design look, from what I've heard about them they are good but I haven't used one personally

Good if you're liquid cooling. Otherwise it's a bit of a waste.

I've got one but haven't done much with it yet, only threw in spare parts on stock cooling for the wife to use.
Physically it's like a microatx mid-tower but wider, then inside you can fit atx and e-atx boards and a lot of cooling (like 360mm rad in front and a 240 on top)
Planning to do a VM workstation build with it later, with multiple gpus and some power-hungry cpu like a broadwell-e or one of the higher-end zen chips if they don't suck

Could you use the other compartment to fit a fuckton of HDDs into or use it for a second system/nas somehow or would you need a case built for dual system builds
>>54288242
the thing only has 2x hdd mounts (hotswap i think), 5 ssds in the 2nd chamber

The secondary chamber isn't real wide. it has a rack that holds I think 5x2.5" drives above the power supply as well as the two 5.25" bays you can see on the front. I think the space below the 5.25 bays is pretty empty but ends up being the rat nest for cable management (or the only spot you'll fit your pump/res for water cooling). You might fit in something like an itx board but it's not something I've thought of doing.
There's also mounts for two 3.5" drives on the bottom of the main chamber.
I kinda wish there were 3x5.25 bays so I could fit one of those mini hotswap racks and run a bunch of 3.5" in raid (but you could do it with 2.5" drives if you wanted, probably just costs more)
The appeal for me was simply being able to fit a full sized board and a lot of radiator area for cooling multiple gpus and shit
Thanks!

Delicious.
I can shove my power supply and cables in the back and have the pussy up front. What more could you ask for?
The stock fans are loud as fuck though.
>>54286532
Second chamber ends up being a bit too big for just a PSU, HDDs, and cables. But if you have the room to spare go ahead. Don't try to put 2 gpus in the Air 240 or any matx case for that matter.
