Corsair is coming out with some new cases! The Air 240, The 700T, and the one I find the most fascinating, the 380T. If you haven't seen it yet, TekSyndicate has coverage of the Corsair booth at Computex 2014

Link here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hi36Oc3xiIk

The thing I think is interesting about the 380T is that it looks like a cooler because of the handle on the top. I think this may become the new LAN case for some. Opinions?

My opinion on this is pc cases have needed a usable handle on the top since the 80's.
If it wasnt for those pesky Kids. . .I'd be rich.

True, true. I think that this may be the next Prodigy. It has the potential to be a great LAN case, as well as a portable work case.

If I was more patient I would wait for the air 240 to come out, but I'm just gonna buy the NZXT Phantom 240...

By the way, what do you think about the Phantom 240?

It looks very sleek. I believe it will be a welcome addition to the NZXT line of cases.

On the budget side, I prefer the 240 over the spec-02. I am ordering later today, and it should be here next week. It's out, right?

Looks fine to me, I don't think it will be a problem unless you are getting a Cosmos II. That would not fit, and would probably break your desk too...

Haha, yeah probably lol.
On a side note, this led light strip will work fine, no? I'm moving the front 120mm blue fan to that case and adding this 2m light strip just to help illuminate the window, so it'll work fine, right?

I kinda like the look of the BitFenix Alchemy strips Pcbuilder, they adhere, or so I'm told. You could check those out, also they don't require that knob thing. Unless you want to adjust the brightness, Alchemy strips will work. However they are a bit more expensive. That might be a problem, if you want to adjust brightness, I would go for the NZXT strip. If you want something that will adhere to the sides and top of your case, or wherever you please, the Alchemy strips would be excellent there. It is all up to user preference.

yep, I wanted to have the ability to change the brightness, and it would install nicely in the case and match my case theme. Can't wait for my case and lights to come. On a side note, should I buy an anti static wristband? I built this pc on a tiled floor, and it worked fine, so should I or not? My room is on carpet, but I will go to the kitchen where it is tiled, and I will touch the screw on the outlet. I don't think it is worth it, is it?

Also, should I remove my fan that I am moving over to the case, should I just clean it now? Haha, i always think out the entire upgrade and what order I will move the parts in advance.

I would recommend getting the wrist strap just in case. It is a good investment because it isn't just a one time use, and you'll save your parts from getting fried. Also, if your fan is dusty, remove it and clean it. Just do what you need to do.

No it's a waste of money. Don't get a wristband. If you're building on tile and ground yourself by touching the insides of the case you have nothing to fear.

Hey, you never know what might happen. I have a cat, so if that comes in all of the sudden and I am not wearing a wrist strap, then things could go bad. Also, my house is like all carpet. But he is right, you don't necessarily need one, but it is a preference.

Done. Took two fours. F*** yeah! I still need to swap out the stock fan for my blue fan and install my 7v resistor, but i'm kinda tire, lol, so I will do that later today or tomorrow. Will make it look cooler and alot quieter (and it's freaking quiet right now)!

Looks really nice and is known to support extremely large components. No other cases really look like that, but check out the corsair graphite 760t. Cm storm Stryker? What components are you gonna put in there?
