Sounds a little pricey. But I would like to see what it looks like. Release date end of May

Damn, I can't find photos anywhere! Corsair did one hell of a great job keeping this one locked in the vault.

After what happened to the 900D leak and now delayed launch, George vowed for that not to happen again.
So expect Corsair to play their cards close to the vest from now on.

Well, again, fantastic job keeping it under lock and key.

Gotta second this, it's damn impressive. I saw it on newegg looking for an mATX case with a window (If I buy a GTX Titan, I want to show it off :D ) and couldn't find a damn thing about it other than a couple threads like this on other tech websites.
 
Sure ya would... it's almost impossible to find pictures everywhere. So far, the total number of pictures for the 350D are totaled at: 1.

...The one you just posted. :p
 
Rear fan, AIO tubes and PCI-E cables are all out of place on the image.
The white canvas is also a dead give away. A leaked photo would be on a table or something in the photo apart of the real world.

also the size of the back is disproportionate with the size of the front and the angle the 'photo' was taken at. Some major warping going on
 
Well, shit.

-1, returning the total image count for the 350D to: 0

I like the way that concept drawing is going tho, that would look nice.
 
Well, then that's pretty convincing.

Total pre-release photos of the 350D: a plausible 3!
 
WorldExclusive, if you're hotlinking those photos in the OP, you'd better host them off a photo site and direct link for them, as hotlinking is not allowed at [H]...

Other than that: dammit! If this new case has 5 expansion slots, then now I have to come up with the money to swap my chassis...again. I like the Line-M just fine except for the exceptional lack of cable management provision.
 
ffs... why can't corsair come out with a standard ATX version of this T__T

I'd say be patient, mumbles of a 650D replacement have been heard... ;)

oh i really hope your right... if that 350D pic is real i really really want to replace my 650D with it, but i really really don't want to buy another motherboard either.

i love my 650D but i wish it was smaller.... considering a arc midi r2 right now for this reason.

I hope so.. I've been looking into an 800D for quite some time now but couldn't be bothered to shell out $250 on a case. Main season for the case? the large side window!! And 900D is just far too big for my taste. If they revamp the 650D (their current case is ugly imo) to a mini 900D, i'd buy it in a heatbeat (assuming the price is right)
 
The pictures are accurate. I won't confirm much more until April 25th which is the embargo. Some of the photos make it look like it's not square - but it is. Some weirdness with the images I guess.
 
Need another case like I need a hole in my head... But it does look better than 99% of the mATX cases I've seen lately.

Excellent! Although I love my 700D, I've been thinking about making the switch to a smaller form factor. There are just so few high quality ITX or mATX cases on the market, IMO, and none really seem to be water cooling-friendly. But this 350D might be the ticket for me. Can't wait to find out more!
 
I was hoping Corsair would follow suit with a smaller version of the 900D. As much as I want it, the 900D is a but more than I need. A standard ATX mid tower would be perfect! Otherwise I'll need to buy all new components for this tiny but awesome looking case.
 
Just had a thought regarding this case... I'm kind of hoping Corsair introduces a short cable kit for their modular PSUs at a decently affordable price like Silverstone does for their Strider series.

Now this is something they should look into. Great observation.
 
I have a FT-03 now, it's nice, but accessibility is still annoying. I may build a new machine with this case, it looks fantastic
 
I saw this on OCN as well, I'm definitely buying it. End of May, right in time for me to upgrade to Haswell and show off my Titan in the window, heck maybe even buy a second one. I've been looking for a quality mATX case with window like this for a while, only wish it was reversed.

What cables would be in the kit?

24-pin ATX
1 x 8pin CPU
4 x PCI-E
4 x SATA (2 cables, 2 connectors each)
3 x molex (1 cable, 3 connectors)
1 x molex-to-floppy adapter (for bay devices that still use this connector)

I have an FT03 too and really enjoy it's space saving feature as well as it's looks but as you say accessibility to install and remove components is somewhat troublesome and there's very little room for cable management.

I would definitely like something the size of the 350D if the build quality and materials used matches up with the 900D so that the only difference is just that it is scaled down to mATX. I was not impressed with the 550D/650D cases Corsair released last year because they were a noticeable downgrade from the 800D in order to cut costs and appeal to a larger market.

Whether I buy a huge XL case or a small mini ITX case I'm all about premium look and quality material used for construction which is why I have to keep looking to others like Silverstone and Case Labs to meet those needs. Hopefully this new 350D will impress though.

You pretty much nailed it in your list imo.
