Ah, yeah, though I felt that was a bit too obvious and just slipped listing it.

To me that's just Corsair's MO; commercialize something that would, without their style and support, be a very forgettable product. Just look at their power supplies... the only true standout is the AX1200, since it uses an OEM nobody else really has yet. Hell, the only reason I got their RAM was because it was about the only set at the time with removable heatsinks on the spreaders, else I couldn't get my San Ace on the "push" end of my cooler. I was also seriously |-| that close to getting the Antec Signature SG-850, but then the HX850 came out with better cables and slightly higher efficiency, and was 20 bucks cheaper... it was a very tight race but the HX850 won. Maybe if I somehow wind up with craptons of money, and Antec makes a fully modular Delta-platform-based 750/850 watt unit with Corsair AX-ish sleeving/cables, I'll get that and sell the HX, but until then this is more than acceptable.

It must've gotten busted up in shipping and they decided to use that as the display unit. No case is immune to shipping damage.
I love EK blocks.
