SFF.Network UPDATED: CORSAIR Launches the ONE i500 PC
- Thread starter confusis
- Start date
This looks like a bespoke dell OptiPlex case but with worse thermals for the gpu?
I like the exterior design, too bad it's not SFF anymore. Also loading this with a 14900K and a 4090 is just asking for cooling capacity issues in this layout. A single 120mm radiator for a 14900K 
Not going with a 7800X3D in this build signals to me it's not designed to be sold to people that read a review or two.

Check out der8auer's review. Like you would guess runs very hot, it's also really loud even at idle with no way to adjust the fan profile.
Yeah I've seen it, everyone will blame the reason on the "tiny case", even though the previous version was almost half the volume yet also handled top tier gear. But Corsair can apparently not read TDP guidelines.
Well, my guess with their press photos etc. they aim it more at the 3D-AI-Media worker with occassional bouts of gaming?I like the exterior design, too bad it's not SFF anymore.

Alas, the complete setup feels so entirely wrong to me - why wouldnt you set it up similar to a Meshlicious, with a rotated mainboard at best?
Whenever I see this fancy but futile "look I'm a great PR flack - look what I cooked up!" attempts, I want to go out and build something that shows HOW its done right ..
.. like with that other failure of that .. wait, this also was a Corsair, the 2500X, which is a 53L case that only allows for mATX and ITX boards. I was like: Ok, grab one of the bigger Mars Computers fish tanks, add nifty hardware inside, and show that one off. Their cases might be not of fancy materials, feeling a bit on the cheaper side, but hey - you get 4 - 5 cases of that for the same price?
With Corsair, it always feel like: They finally get it right, and then suddenly .. the wtfpm rate jumps to new heights.
cu, w0lf.
Looks like an M-ATX version of the Fractal Design Era. Too bad about the noise of the system. A 240mm would easily fit on that side bracket. Not sure why a 120mm aio was used. Maybe old inventory a supplier is trying to offload?
Mod Edit: translated:
HORRIBLE. The original version is PERFECT, because it is SMALL and can fit the GREATEST processing power available. The Corsair ONE design is one of the cases I MOST wanted to find to BUY on the market and it simply doesn't exist. It is simply so smart that NOBODY has yet managed to replicate its design, showing that when real engineers want to do something REAL, they do it. An elegant design, compact but without looking like a 'toy', like many cases I see out there.
This version, unfortunately, is simply a COMMON rectangular chassis that usually lies flat, but 'standing' in this case. Completely common layout.
They just put marketing on top of it. Incredible, like everything good gets WORSE. I myself am developing my ITX case that supports E-ATX motherboards and it only has 17 liters. 25 liters is a total aberration for m-atx.

The Original Version:
This design is smart, because it is integrated and not a simple solution for a traditional case like the new one, with a standard size and that tries to squeeze the air inside the case in any way.
It has two sides, right and left, and on each side it has a water cooler for the GPU and CPU, keeping the size compact.
Above, it has a super fan to remove all the hot air, that is, in addition to being efficient, it does not leave hot air inside the case like in traditional cases.
After I saw this, all my projects start from the same idea, but with good improvements.
It is a compact case, but without looking like a toy, like some 3D printed cases out there, it has a futuristic aesthetic, without looking like a trash can, (like the prejudice against old designs similar to this one in the step, like Mac or Fractal Tower)
What I expected was to see exactly the same engineering style but with mATX boards.
In the case of ITX systems, if you make the case bigger than a certain point, it completely loses the point of the board being ITX, because today, even mATX boards have extremely compact case designs.
My goal today is to build a case that supports eATX and ATX boards, mATX boards that have ultra-compact sizes but not below 17 liters and not larger than 20 liters.

I like Micro-ATX, don't get me wrong. But I can't shake the feeling that DTX with PIO would give you a lot more in the same area. You could fit full size GPU in the PIO slot and 2 'regular' slots of either low-profile or have the case stop at the slot bracket for full-height cards and it would still be small.
I'd love to see this as you can make the case smaller and cooling simpler with PIO, and not lose the expansion slots if you go DTX.
Scratching my head on this case. Could fit full ATX easily in that volume, and still have the water cooling.
