    Corsair Suite Visit

    I make a point to visit Corsair every year given they have been one of my favorite memory suppliers since the very beginning.  At the show they have been showing off the new Carbide Air 540 with a considerable amount of positive press.   The chassis is basically a cube design similar to the HAF X that features an ATX sized square with motherboard and cooling features on one side and PSU, drives and excess cables on the other.  The split allows for more direct airflow and better cooling.
    Funny thing about "cube" cases, they were all the rage back in the 90's, heck even I wanted one.

    Of course Corsair had a few other cases on display and a live demo of the new Vengeance line of gaming sticks.  The demo was running a Haswell system clocked at 3200Mhz with only a fan keeping the airflow.
    While many are saying Haswell isn't a major update over Ivy Bridge you cannot deny that 3000Mhz + memory clock is pretty damn impressive.
