(replacing the stock fan provided in the package) Sorry, Corsair 600T use external USB 3.0 cable same as Aerocool X-Predator  . Not sure depend on radiator size...but Bitfenix Colossus window or THERMALTAKE CHASER MK-I sure fit. CM Storm Trooper Window from Hikari85 can be considered.

Skip all Corsair casing. The only one that does WC is the 800D. The rest of their casings are designed to use with RS240/H100 only.

IINM only silverstone Raven and Fortress series chassis has a 90 degrees rotated mobo tray design so no way out of it I guess.. cheaper would be DIY i guess if you can spare the time & effort Added on May 8, 2012, 9:18 amOh and some of their Temjin chassis too This post has been edited by Clem1982: May 8 2012, 09:18 AM
