this video was brought to you by NCI X great technology selections and service hello everyone I'm Dmitry with haruka NOx and the release of the 380 T from Corsair has marked an interesting design direction for the company especially with a splash of a bright yellow bumblebee color option if you're not yet satisfied with the full tower offerings from Corsair then you are in luck as they have just released their latest 780 the next-generation design after the very popular 600 T case priced at 189 for the white and yellow versions and $10 less for the black and I gotta say that I'm loving what they're doing in terms of exterior design with the chassis looking pretty cool with these angular yet rounded edges and you can actually use the top portions that are sticking out on both the back and the front to carry the case our sample arrived with a little defect on one the sides with plastic pieces slightly sticking out but this is a pre-production sample and things like this should not pass through quality control so don't you worry if you're looking to see what they did differently internally don't get your hopes up as this is a merely an exterior modification to the 750 d and the 760 t with just two optical bays instead of three and just some minor internal adjustments the front io panel looks modern with the inclusion of four USB ports audio jacks and PR buttons that appear to be inspired by some type of car start button plus we get the fan controller for five fans that are SATA powered Corsair is not afraid of going big in the large form is well supported by wide the rubberized case speed so the 780 T is very stable and fully dustproof with two easily removable filters at the bottom for the power supply and the optional fan mount if the drive cage platform is removed the front filter pops out to reveal to 140 Millner fans included with triple 120 millimeter support and single 200 millimeter fan Plus Corsair always makes sure to design the least restrictive frame and that is excellent to see although one of the installed fans was totally blocking the screws you need to remove in order to pop out the drive cage so that was a bit inconvenient and not really user-friendly on a better note though I do love how easy it is to get the inside the enclosure with almost car like handles that are tooless and we get this massive side window that would reveal all the goodies inside to close it you have to align the two notches at the bottom and basically snap the panel back in place the filter up top is removable we get so much room for triple fan support and being able to install fans above the frame for extra internal clearance and they're also small rubber inserts to prevent noise from vibrations for those fans but one thing they did miss out our cutouts to pass your cables through if the fans are actually installed above the frame this is again another artifact in the 780 t that I was not expecting to see you can't even draw the fan cables behind the motherboard tray from the top and this will certainly negatively impact the appeal of the 780 t even the front has the small cutouts on the side of the fans but strangely the top doesn't so just keep that in mind the full Tower will support EA TX motherboards with its nine PCI brackets at the back and finally they are getting the hint of flexible rear fan mount in case you need to maneuver the fan to accommodate for thicker radiators and of course we have a 140 millimeter fan included and getting inside the full black interior there is a deja vu moment as we've seen this layout time and time again with their full towers it's not a bad thing per se and you know it's a very spacious design with module drive cages and rubber grommets spread around so the drive cages after removing the screws by the fan and some more on the side there's also another question mark of why these are not thumb screws to simplify your workflow but here we get modular mounting all depending on how you want to set up your internals we get extra flexibility to offset the platform to allow radiators to be installed at the front with three inches of clearance available and then this way you can still utilize one of the cages Auto GPU clearance that drops to ten and a half inches for the bottom by PCI slots the fault setup over there's plenty of space for your graphics card with just under 14 inches available until the drive cage and here is where an extra fan on the side of the drive gauge would help to drive airflow but unfortunately that's not an option removing the platform completely you can install a 240 mil new radiator at the bottom without compromising your storage potential as both drive gauges can be mounted to the top frame with plenty of space left over for thick radiators and push-pull setups also with the radiator at the bottom over 200 millimetres is available for your power supply taking a quick look at the drive caddies there nothing special with size SSD mounts that will require you to remove one of the pins on the bracket to insert the SSD and speaking of us as these there are three dedicated brackets on the side of the chassis designed to show off your drives they have holes to secure the SSD to the bracket and the bracket to the cases wall there's nothing unique behind the motherboard tray just a few cable tie points and lots of room for any cable work especially since you can just tuck away majority of them into this plastic sleeve at the bottom the large opening in front and power supply for some reason is not vomitted now even though it doesn't show through the side panel it would still be nice to include for an overall cleaner looking basement starting with the assembly the motherboard standoffs are pre-installed with a longer middle standoffs for a quick motherboard alignment nice now for this price I think we've been sort of spoiled at how fan Tech's treats its customers with a full plastic toolbox included so it was a bit of a letdown to see a standard cardboard box with just a simple ziplock bag included with the 780 t and so here's the finished build I think any type of system would appear miniscule inside the 780 t and it has its advantages of course like a complete a seamless assembly process and plenty of space for water cooling so the full potential of the case is yet to be seen with some awesome enthusiasts custom loops and perhaps multi-gpu setups we have just under four inches of clearance until the memory modules up top so that's plenty for chan poll and thick radiators and those SSD brackets on the side peek through just to show off your fast drives now I didn't even bother doing anything with the cables in the back as the large gap at the bottom does a create job containing them all and also the side panels are actually reversible you know just a thought for potential modding opportunities and so let's wrap this up the 780 T is everything that is already good with a course there's internal spacious layout with modularity water cooling support and straightforward assembly while spicing things up with a touch of exterior modification to the better with simple to remove and good looking side panels plus the inclusion of that fun color I just love the bumblebee however there are a few moments of dissatisfaction as you can't pass fan cables inside if they are installed above the frame up top there's no rubber grommet on the large cutout that I found strange and I was expecting a simple process to secure the drive cages to the frame without needing to remove the front fans now there's nothing seriously wrong with the 780 T but I really wish Corsair would diverge their attention towards space efficiency and away from these gigantic cases as a slimmer and the more compact mid tower equivalent of the 780 would be welcomed with many more arms in this market I think than another full Tower but what do you guys think do you agree with me on this and what are your thoughts on the exterior of the 780 T and this bumblebee direction and as always thanks for watching make sure you subscribe for more similar content and we'll see you in the next one you
