The inside of this case has lots of space despite being small on the outside. The MB tray sits flush with the back of the case which frees up about 1/2" of space by moving the lip that your PCI cards mount to on the outside of the case.

- Price - Light weight; yet sturdy - Unique design maximizes internal space in a smaller external case

- Unique design makes it incompatible with lots of cooling solutions; - Unique design makes installing long GPUs frustrating

perfectly adequate for non-gaming system although ended up changing the fans. Not that impressed by the switch at the back to control fans so took whole lot out and fitted new fans. Hard drive carriers plastic and not very substantial.

Maybe its my cable management but I had a lot of trouble putting the back panel on after routing the cables, with a semi modular cable though I suspect this would be much easier

Not a terrible case, just average. However, I'm seriously disappointed with how much noise escapes considering it's branded as silent . It's honestly just as noisy with the panels off as with them on so the sound dampening lining isn't doing anything.

Small for a mid tower and not flashy (strengths for me; maybe not for you Has a routing panel for cable management Physical toggle for fan speeds (3 settings) Not many openings which will reduce dust build up Can fit 3 fans (2 front; 1 back).

This thing is NOT silent; Not even with fans on lowest setting.Very disappointing Very little room between cable routing panel and side panel, really struggled to get the panel back on and the cables are definitely all jammed up in there.

So you sold that first Kidney to buy the newest and highest priced video cards, CPU and Motherboard.

– CPU access Hole is not large enough for the ATX.; Get you Dremel ready, – P8 or CPU power cord hole is near is too close to I/O Shield and top corner standoff, – Clearance at top is nonexistent except for two 120 fans, – Back Fan reverberates with the thin steel in the back, – no Rubber grommets...

The evolution of PC hardware is such that today's more powerful components don't run as hot or as loud as you might think. It wasn't that long ago that building a truly high-end rig required careful planning for lavish cooling solutions installed inside formidably-sized enclosures, but modern builds...

Well suited to a budget build; Built-in fan controller; Sound-dampened throughout

Struggles with high-end hardware; Can feel constrained on the inside; Cable management is tricky

Corsair are one of the most well known component manufacturers in the market. They have been producing good quality PC cases for a long time and synonymous to the product. While we often see [...]

3-Speed fan controller; Good build quality; Good sound isolation; Features at this price range

No top fan mounts; Cable management options could have been more; Not all large air coolers will fit; Below average cooling performance

Earlier this year Corsair announced what would be their most affordable computer case to date, the Carbide 100R. Selling for a price of just $50, without the need for rebates, should spark the interest of budget builders.
