Full Disclosure: The product sample used in this article has been provided by Corsair.
Corsair is a well known brand in the custom PC market, with popular keyboards, AIO cooling units, and cases available for sale. Their Graphite series is one of their most popular product lines, and the Graphite 600T is arguably the most popular case in that series, as well as one of the highest rated mid-tower cases available on the market today. With a much more spacious interior than size might suggest along with a sleek, streamlined look the 600T earned itself a legion of fans.
On September 10th Corsair released what they consider the true successor of the 600T, the 780T. This new full tower uses the same curved design as the 600T and includes a large side panel window. However, being a full tower chassis the Graphite 780T can mount dual 360mm radiators on the front and top panels, up to nine 120mm case fans or a mixture of 120 and 140 with up to five 140mm fans. Fully filtered intakes keep the interior clean and the top panel features a three speed fan controller along with a fully lit I/O panel. In this article, Benchmark Reviews inspects the new Corsair Graphite 780T full-tower computer case.

Could the 120mm fan mount washers be removed to allow installation of the h100?

Case is really beautiful but 180 for plastic? I think not. Bring the price down to 139.99 and I will think about it.

The “rubber washers” at the top of the case (pre-installed on 120mm holes) can be removed and reused on the 140mm spacers.
At least try before assuming Cosair designers are idiots and taking points off for it.

Thank you for the information. I did in fact try to remove the washers, and upon discovering they did not remove with a little effort I concluded they either couldn’t be removed, or required an unnecessary amount of force to remove.
