don't know if anybody else has seen this yet, or if I'm late with this news, but take a look at this http://www.scan.co.uk/products/corsair-obsidian-series-650d-black-mid-tower-enthusiast-case-w-o-psu I quite like it, smaller than the 800, but still quite subtle and with plenty of features to by the look of it and better cooling as well hopefully
It still isn't that small, it is wider, taller and deeper than an R2/R3. It also holds fewer fans & HDD's. For nearly twice the price. Not sure I'm sold on it tbh.
650D is a old news, but it's not really that much smaller. It's 546mm (L) x 521mm (H) x 229mm (W) vs 609mm X 609mm X 229 mm. That is only 6cm less length and 8cm less height. In absolute numbers it does look like a big difference, but it is still as big as my previous PC-V1110A (542x 569x210mm), and i considered PC-V1110A as a relatively big case.
Yeah I'm interested in this one, but I will wait for Bit's review first. So glad it's coming out in March, thought it was May when I first looked!
Although the 800D is a very large case, It's the best case I've ever owned. If you have a load of watercooling to fit inside then it's spot on. And the cable management is excellent.
