The reason I plugged mine in is because I removed my vrm stock heat sink and it was plain and looked like it was missing something and I thought it looked way better plugged in. The waterblock for the vrm looks way better than the stock heatsink just way small. Hope that makes scene.

I just pluged it in because some day I may need it and I rather plug it now than remove all the GPUs in a future.

The EVGA ACX cooler looks awesome but so far the 690/780/Titan have the best looking air coolers so far in my opinion!

Reference 770 doesn´t have shiny letters... does it?

I have a 770 ACX too, the only thing I´m not happy about is that the metal plates are golden.. I didn´t care too much about it until I saw the 760 ACX... same in silver, DOUH!
I may switch to 760 because it matches much better with my dominator platinums... wait.. better not xD

Why would you downgrade from a 770 to 760 just to have a different color cooler, seems crazy!

can anyone who purchase from corsair let me know the shipping costs you paid? not keen on entering all my personal / cc info just to get the shipping costs on their site. my only reference is newegg and its 14.99 ship cost when they get them in. I appreciate your time.

not sure why but this case pulls at my wallet , screaming BUY ME! BUY ME NOW! lol

one more thing, I know its early on and not sure if anyone has tried, but is there enough space up top for the corsair H100 with push pull fan setup, with gigabyte G1 sniper 3 which is an E-ATX mobo? (its dimensions as typically installed are 13 wide by 15 high)

thanks , Peace

Well, usually when I get a shipping quote to one of my customers I have to have their zip code.

But, if you put in all your information, it will give you a quote without putting in your cc info. Also, I just bought mine, I am on the east coast and the total cost (including shipping) was 144.88. However, that is UPS ground, won't be here until the 5th.

http://www.overclock.net/t/1403069/review-corsair-carbide-air-540 here is a link to a review.
shows there is a h100 in it with push/pull.

Same, I payed like 5 bucks for "standard shipping" which is 4-6 days. Then they had UPS ground which was around $13-14 and UPS 2 Day which was a lot more. Total for me on the east coast of the U.S, was $144.88 and it'll be here the 5th. Shipped UPS ground w/ tracking despite selecting the standard option.

You think shipping to NJ would cost more to pay for your mayor's tummy tuck he got :)

I do not see any option of shipping that makes total of 144.88 on corsair site. all I see is this

Standard 4-6 days

UPS Standard $19.99

UPS

UPS Ground $14.38
UPS 2nd Day Air $54.23

did u guys perhaps place order over phone? and was given the 4.89 shipping cost? perhaps a code? this is a head scratcher, I'm in Ohio.

I'm all in on this case, but if I can get it for 15 dollars less by golly I will do what I must to do so. I really don't understand it. I even created an account on their site, thinking perhaps then I would see shipping of 4.89 for the 144.88 total. what a conundrum

Probably it´s 144.88 ordering from Amazon.
I bought it from corsair and I paid 140 for mine, + standard 4-6 days shipping (20) and taxes (35) since I´m in Spain and the case was shipped to me from Holland.
There where other shipping options but all of them where a lot more expensive (arround 200$).
I would buy directly from Corsair if I where you, it´s only a 10$ diference and they have it in stock now (amazon says shipping in between 1 and 4 months...)
