This has been asked for twice before, problem is it's just too big for the packaging that PCS have tested and use.

But, the Cosmos 2 is bigger??

Cosmos 2 might be an exception, when my rig came PCS used the cosmos 2's own packaging for it.

Then why not do the same with the 800D?

In one of the links that Rakk posted administrators are explaining why it is not possible, I have no idea why they manage to ship the cosmos 2. If you want to get the 800d just call them for an official response.

 

[steaky360]

Or buy one yourself and send it to them!

 

[Mango(MarkWright)]

I still don't think they would allow that...

Well they do offer you the option too so they most likely would but why get the 800D? the 900D is going to be out before xmas im guessing.

It's possible that the manufacturer packaging the Cosmos 2 comes in when new is designed so that it can easily protect the case when its been built and filled with all the relevant bits and pieces, whereas I suspect most are not designed like that and would not protect the whole PC - note: this is entirely speculation and guesswork at this point

I still don't think they would allow that...

No, I'm not convinced they would either - I think they do have a size limit for the send your own cases option.

Hmm, if PCS make their own packaging, why not make a custom one for 800D if thy were going to supply it although I'm pretty sure they would if they could,...

I very much doubt PCS make their own packaging,that's an entirely different ball game and will probably be supplied by a specialist packaging company.

Darn

 

[steaky360]

If you want this case get in touch with PCS directly and ask them the question, they may be able to offer a solution.

I agree with steaky, call up PCS if you want this case.

I'd guess, you could ship it yourself/have it delivered to PCS, BUT you would have to pick it up!

ps, this case is MASSIVE, you would need/want some serious hardware in there to fully appreciate the thing! if you just put ya normal air cooled gaming rig in there, its going to be a pretty boring huge "box"
