Can anyone recommend a quality 3 to 4 internal RAID enclosure that will fit this case without any significant modifications?
Those are among the ones I've been looking at. I was hoping someone had actually used one of these or another brand in the 650D case. I want a product that fits properly. Thanks!
I currently own a Coolermaster ATCS 840 would it be wise to get the 650D?
How heavy/cumbersome is the 650D relative to other cases? TBH, that's the only thing keeping me from slamming my fist onto my "purchase" key and calling it a day.
It's not heavy at all I would say. It was rather light until I put my Silver Arrow and 4 hard drives and PSU in it. Definitely easier to deal with than the Antec P180.
As for cumbersome, not really. I slide it out from under my desk, I pick it up, I lay it down to operate on, I put the side back on, and then I put it back into place. Nothing awkward about it at all.

Nice! How about transporting it to LANs?
I may just have to go with this case for my current build... Are the handles actually useful in transporting it?
Read a lot about this case and am thinking of buying it for my next build to replace my trusty P182. I'll look at the P280 when it is released but my friend is raving about the 650D. Couple questions:
1) Does the case support USB3 mobo headers yet? I know the early versions used pass-through to the back panel of mobo
2) Is Corsair selling a window-less side panel (or including it like the 600T special edition)? I don't really want a case window if I can avoid it.
Thanks for the tips.The black cabl.e into the middle of the board could get routed out of a closr gromet.
And try routing the [pci-e cables through one of them too.
If you just bought it on Tuesday you shouldn't have gotten a DW. Where did you buy it from? Take it back and just get a DW-1 from Amazon or something.
Good Luck on that one. I just got mine from Amazon and it's the old one. Was specifically advertised as a DW-1 but it was not! So beware.
Time to make my (decidedly modest) contribution to this thread.
First attempt at cable management. Above the hard disks you can see I routed the front USB3 ports to the extra USB3 bracket that came with the motherboard.
GPU is a Radeon 6950
PSU is a Seasonic X-series 760w
CPU cooler is a Cooler Master Hyper 212 plus
Asus Xonar DX underneath the CPU cooler
RAM is 16GB (4x4) Corsair Vengeance DDR3
All fans are stock
The 650Dw-1 has a near flawless finish, and was easy to install into.
Any tips on improving the airflow, cleanliness and cable management are greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the tips.
Second attempt (and possibly last, since I only had the cable ties which came with the 650D):
Ah much better, so is there any way you could hide that usb 3 adapter with double sided tape??

Then Amazon owes you an explanation. It is false advertisement plain and simple.
They blue ones are new here, they're still asking a stupendous price premium for it.Shouldve gotten the blue vengeance to match mobo
ALOT better. Good job
Whats that box on front w/ the 2 USB connectors? I'm guessing its a USB3.0 port of some kind?
I actually placed it there on purpose to be able to access it easily. (Why exactly I'm not sure. )Ah much better, so is there any way you could hide that usb 3 adapter with double sided tape??

It's an Asus USB 3.0 bracket that came with the motherboard. Usually mounted on the rear but since the front panel USB 3.0 ports don't connect to the motherboard I used that bracket instead. Just removed the metal part and connected it to the motherboard.
Is Corsair customer service down or something? I got some defective parts with my case, sent them an email, got no reply at all. My experience with Corsair so far is not as pleasant as others claim to be.
I see the 650D side panel has shown up online. No stock though?
