so we pulled off all of the tape and plastic covering bits so there were a few different ones first of all there's one holding the front bezel on because you can actually well my assumption is that you can actually pop that off but we'll figure that out later there was one holding this this piece closed that was pretty much it for tape so let's start at the front so at the front we see just like the 800 D we've got all of our front panel connectors where are you down there we've got all of our front panel connectors as well as our start and power LED reset switch all of that good stuff is up here I'm not sure where that other front USB 2.0 is I wonder if they mean either for USB 2.0 or 2 USB 3 to this B 2 either way it's no no major loss I mean you only need so many front USB so the overall fit and finish of the front bezel looks very very similar to the 800 D very nice quality very nice quality piece here ok so let's move around to let's go to this side okay so we got a window which has kind of a frame around it okay gives it a very clean look the side panel is toolless so you got to do is hold down these little latches here you can open and close it that way let's move around to the back where we will find 8 expansion slots a 120 millimeter exhaust fan or i/o slot as well as a bottom mounted power supply and a bottom mounted fan filter just like the 800 D except shorter and narrower all right then on the other side you're going to actually we're going to take this one right off I'm going to show you guys the overall look of the side panel so the side panels are quite stiff not a whole lot of flex to them you can see this mechanism here looks quite robust so you're not going to worry too much about that breaking over extended use all right inside is all black as we've come to expect from Corsair cases you can see it has a huge CPU cutout so you're going to be able to access the back of your motherboard however and from whatever angle it is that you need to do that from okay let's finish up with the cooling first so up here on the top you can see we've actually got a lot of different fan mounting options so it comes with a 200 millimeter fan but you can also mount to 140 s using these holes or to 120 s using haveno wet holes but you can do to 120 s or to 140 s or a single 200 millimeter okay let's go ahead and take the side panel off show you guys inside of the window so that's it fixed with screws and it's just a piece of some kind of acrylic or plexi something like that okay the internal feel note one last external feature they did want to show you guys actually if fine we can look at this now so here in the front we've got our course our logo and we've also got our other 200 millimeter fan and in terms of mounting options it looks like a 200 millimeter fan is all that goes there and you do not have the option to mount something else like you do in the top okay one last external feature up here on the top you can see right here gives us a guide so if you want to install a three and a half inch hot-swap drive you can do that and it'll just push it down and if you want to install a two and a half inch hots log drive then it'll guide it into the correct position so then you can swap it like it's hot it's crazy Russian wanted me to say that he's filming this for me and cameraman stead cameraman is actually on vacation right now I can't get it out oh oh here hold on we've also got our fan speed controller in here I didn't even see that little switch so we basically got low medium and high I'm gonna pull that out okay there good excellent close all right let's have a look at the inside internal features we've got our motherboard tray which is apparently designed by Corsair much like the rest of the case the grommets used here are I'd say they're a little stiffer than some of the some of the well the most flexible ones that I've seen but you can clearly see that if you put something in put some pressure on it and withdraw it you're still going to they're still going to come back to their original position so nice high-quality grommets the power supply mount is raised up a little bit off the bottom of the case honestly it's pretty much irrelevant because you've got this ventilation as well as this filtered intake so you can mount your power supply no matter what power supply you're using no problem fan side down so it can draw a nice fresh air filtered air through the bottom of the case what else do we got in here here you can see the inside of the two hundred millimeter fan that's included okay then we've also got a 120 millimeter fan at the back which wasn't mentioned actually on the outside of the box but I mean I can't imagine course they're releasing a case without a 120 millimeter fan given that there are water cooling solutions all rely on 120 millimeter fans so that wouldn't make any sense at all would it we've also got speaking of water cooling a couple of water cooling grommets so if you wanted to do an external mounted rad you could run the tubing through there as I mentioned before at the back eight internal PCI Express brackets so that gives you a couple options you could install a motherboard with eight PC our des a PCI Express I guess I meant PCI but either is fine so you can either install a motherboard with eight PCI slots at the back or you can install a motherboard with seven and a PCIe 16x slot at the bottom and then you can install a graphics card that is dual slot in there and it will still have room to exhaust alright got tons and tons of cable management grommets including gaps at the top here and more importantly here to bring through the eight pin or four pin CPU power connector or connect doors that we got here in terms of internal connectors speaking of connectors all right we've got a ziploc bag which has a corsair sticker in all likelihood although I don't see it some rubber grommets some screws and zip ties okay here is all about wow that's a whack of internal cables okay so I'm just going to try and find out how to take this off come on oh I see it's probably affixed from the back yes yes it is that took me way too long to figure out okay there we go so this this is like water cables it's a good thing coarser makes all other cables black otherwise managing all of this plus power supply plus whatever the heck else data cables you need would be a mess okay so back here we've got our firewire we've got our HD audio we've got our USB - we've got our USB three you can see the way the USB 3 works is via the running out the back of the case and plugging into the back of the i/o shield although I would expect adapters to be available fairly shortly so that you can use those brand-new fancy internal headers with your brand-new fancy case alright so that's all of that and then we've got fan connector okay note we've got our front panel so that's our power switch LEDs reset switch all that good stuff and then we have FATA connectors so here's the power for the fan controller that we saw with that switch up at the top and then you can plug up to four fans directly into it and control all four fans so the for fans they intend for you to use are the 200ml at the front a 120 mil at the back and then up to two 140 s or two 120 s at the top we have a two list mechanism here for the drive cages so it's just a simple rocker one so all you have to do is push that in well pull it out put in your drive push it in okay fairly straightforward and here we have two less hard drive trays so they've got two and a half inch mounting holes here and then three and a half inch drives are going to be mounted via the pegs here they look flimsy but as soon as you put a drive in them and snap them in I guarantee you they're not going anywhere now one of these cages is actually removable actually these cages are removable and I believe they can actually be rotated but don't quote me on that one yet we will find out maybe it's just one of them that can be rotated here we go thumb screws handy love the thumb screws okay so that did that and then okay give me a moment here yes okay I was mistaken it looks like what this feature is actually for is to remove the hard drive cages which clearly we have done and then you can I guess you can access this fan to clean it for whatever reason or whatever but what it's also for is installing very very very long graphics cards so Corsair has left enough room for graphics cards to become pretty much double the length of a motherboard and you will still be able to install them in the 650d without any difficulty whatsoever okay the last thing we're going to show you guys in our unboxing and preview or whatever you want to call it first look that's what I usually call it is how to remove the front bezel so all you got to do is pull up these tasks and remove the front bezel so front bezel from the inside you can see it has a metal metal sheath outside of it but the inside is actually plastic we've got our fan filter here which is or is not removable it's gotta be it's gotta be removable yes it's removable there you go there's your front fan filter and it is removable maybe that's what crazy Russian was trying to show me earlier okay and then from the front you can I don't know install drives see fans uninstall this fan potentially thank you for checking out my video on the Corsair I'll post this here yeah that looks good it's not going to stay now stay on the Corsair 650d don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips for more unboxings reviews and
