Here are a couple of pics of their prototype case labs built a couple of weeks ago. Looks like there is room on the bottom and the top for 4x360mm rads and fans without interfering with the motherboard or blocking one of the power supplies. This case is 6 inches taller than the M10.

Seriously, one hell of a case.

I'm getting the inverted ATX version. It's going to rock. They are making a TX10 as well which I think is 6 inches deeper to accomodate the SR2. If the thing is as good as the pictures, I think MM will have to go back to the drawing board and come up with something new and cheaper. There is way more labor in these cases than the MM cases.

MM needs an overhaul on everything, design, customer service, manufacturing, cost, shit staff.


It's about time there was more competition in the high end water-cooling cases.

The more competition means better products and prices for consumers. :up:

Hi Mike,

Thanks!

I think you're think of the TH10. Hopefully I'll have some early pictures of it this weekend. The TX10 is larger still and has some more advanced features ;) The preorder allocation is full now, but we should have specs and early pictures by the end of the month.

Best regards

This line of cases is starting to get impressive...if you believe the story the way MM tells it, they'd wouldn't be able to compete with this line of cases IMO.

Great stuff Case Labs, keep it coming. Are these available for purchase yet in the US?

thanks,

Hi Andy,

Thank you! Yes, they are for sale internationally (M8/M10/T10). You can PM me or send email to CS@CaseLabs.net. I know we have to get our website up eventually :rolleyes:, but in the meantime, I'm happy to answer any questions you might have.

Thanks again!

My MM case doesn't seem so nice after seeing these bad boys, that's for sure.

My case shipped out yesterday and I was sad to see that it wouldn't be here until Monday. I was ok with that but really wanted it this weekend. I just got a message from Jim at Case Labs telling me that they upgraded to Saturday delivery because he knew I wanted it this weekend.

Excellent customer service right there. Pics will come late tomorrow.

For anyone interested, here are a couple of shots of the TH10 prototype (sitting next to a T10). This case will accommodate 480 rads and SR-2 boards:

Oh man that looks sick

Any plans for a model that fits 560 rads?

I'll post pics when I get home for you....:crack:

RedRaider is correct ;) Pictures might be hard to come by though as I haven't completed the design yet :) The TX10 (aka "Godzilla") will take 560's all the way around, but in a different way.The issue I'm dealing with at the moment is isolating the rads from other heat sources.

This weekend's project... :D

Finally, somebody designs a case that understands high performance cooling needs:woot: It's about damn time:up:

We'll definitely be talking:up:

This is T10 #1 of which I am now the proud owner. Build quality is excellent. Revese ATX is excellent. Excuse my shitty ass pics. I have a tripod and I still suck.

Very well packed box. Kudos to Case labs

Motherboard side XL window. Latch is at the front of the case.

Reverse ATX baby!

Rear. Duh! Has the new motherboard tray without the 40mm fan holes.

Power supply side. Enough room for 2 power supplies and upper and lower rads.

That's it for now. Excuse the shadows. Shitty lighting, no backdrop, no lightbox and apparently greasy fingers.

All I have to say is...

At least SOMEONE is listening to what we want/need in a case.

fantastic job on the case design, this is to me the best case i have seen in years.
i love the industrial look of it

I want one. The way you got it is it under 700$? Other than pm where can I find the prices of these cases? I know CL said they were working on a website, but I don't want to wait lol. I like the cross bar that holds fans or a radiator by the looks of it and the fact you can move it around.

It looks nice. Only downside I can see is that you don't get any dustfilters with the case.

I plan on putting dmciflex filters on the intakes.

Agreed. SOOO much potential. Gonna be interesting to see all the different builds people do with these.

So, on the PSU side, rads can be mounted: At the top, at the bottom, and two going across the side. Is that correct?

If you mount a rad on the ps side you lose that ps slot.

The standard side dont have mesh for two, but you should be able to put two on the side with those holders, by getting jim to cut some more vents.

Hello Everyone,

Here are a few pictures of the TH10 being released next week. Shown with an EVGA SR-2 board:

I really hope an alternative to those wheels are offered. I would prefer some static raised feet over the casters, if possible.

CaseLabs
03-11-2011, 09:39 PM
The casters are optional. The case comes with rubber feet standard. They are screwed on - not the stick on things that always fall off :rolleyes:

Best regards

I don't know if you've used Demciflex fliters before but when I had them over a GT1850rpm they made a terrible air turbulence noise.
