The outside of the case doesn't look bad but the lack of a 5.25" bay and the big NZXT logo that's visible through the side panel window are deal breakers for me.... I require room for an optical drive.

Have none of you ever seen a USB optical drive?

The lack of 5.25 bay is interesting. I for one haven't used a cd/dvd/bluray drive in probably 3-4 years now but I can see why some people would have a problem.
I still would rather have a 900D.

THANK YOU!!! 😀
Thought this forum had gone a little weird in this thread when people were bitching and moaning about the lack of a drive bay something that should of been retired in the PC industry for years now.
No one heard of a USB Drive... a USB Stick, an external HDD???

finally someone got rid of the 5.25" thing

Yes, I have. I used one with my netbook and use one now with my laptop. My desktop, however, doubles as a media center. Without the optical drive, it would be hard to watch movies and I find unnecessary USB devices to be an inconvenience.
I do find it funny how people used to complain about external drives....and now people are complaining about internal drives.... Why do we need such large cases, if everything is forced to be external again?

It's a shame the Black one comes with Red : /

Really good video, Guy had a lot of good things to say about it.
Looks I've decided which case i'm upgrading to.

in theory then i could put the dual bay res near the front fans?
in that review i think he mentioned there's space at the bottom for a res. shame he didnt go into more detail about that...
might give watercooling shop a ring.
p.s would need to invest in a bigger usb for installing os. Also interestingly I contacted plextor about updating my SSD firmware and they said it had to be done via a cd/dvd. Usb didnt work.
So that raises an interesting issue.
Moreover more importantly what happens to my pron cd collection?
if it wasnt for my dual drive bay res this would be a def buy. (plus the optical drive issue).
if someone who is on utube wants to leave feedback could u raise the question re what do you do if you have a dual drive bay res. (alphacool repack).

IIRC they do a slightly larger case with all that optical drive gubbins for about 30 quid extra, from what i've seen of both these cases they're very similar in every other regard. H630

thanks..

Nice case, but agian wth is with all this transparent sides they ruin the cases imo
mitzi76
the 810 looks better tbh. ok is £50 more...
i did want a smaller case than the hafx that can do a 360 rad..the h630 does have two drive bay slots but i need three 🙂
Loophole35
Go with the 810 it's really nice 😉

Looks nice! I'm okay with dropping the optical drive. I don't use my DVD at all.

very beautiful case all around, a lot of people complain about the tiniest things like optical bays and the logo.
