excellent case, easy to do a tidy build with everything cable related being in the second comparment out of sight, it allows my sli setup to run at better temps, well please BUT there are 2 issues to watch for as the usb 3 cable is to short for some motherboards (thankfully not mine) but i did have...

Corsair had the awesome (but not new) idea of putting the PSU beghind the motherboard tray, obtaining lots of space for not to hot componentes such as SSDs and ODDs.

Corsair has taken the industry by storm this year, not only have they been gaining further success with their cooling products such as the H100i, but they've also been making some of the best gaming peripherals around with their M95 and K70 products, yet the area that they've been gaining the most...

Unique style; High quality finish; Impressive cooling capabilities; High component compatability

Maybe a little expensive for some; Takes up a lot of desk space; Left side panel is a little fragile

The Carbide Series Air 540 is exactly the sort of chassis that Corsair should be producing. It's different, interesting, and ultimately makes you want to build a new rig. This is very much a case of Corsair demonstrating an ability to create products that are right in line with enthusiasts'...

This design we are talking about is something we have only really seen in very large and expensive cases. But in the case of the Carbide Air 540, it is much smaller and having many of the same features you would see in a typical enthusiast case.

The Corsair Carbide Air 540 is the company's first cube chassis; it aims to offer the perfect base for a compact water-cooling system. Don't be fooled by the name as it can swallow up to two 280 mm radiators without issue.

Honestly, it is very hard to NOT like a Corsair chassis these days. The Carbide Air 540 is something new and even a bit revolutionary as very little comes close. Even if you don't really like the looks, it is so unusual that it is bound to intrigue regardless.

Corsair's Carbide Air 540 is a style case that isn't seen much, and Corsair did a fine job of making sure it won't be the last.

The CORSAIR Carbide series get a new member in the lineup with this 540 AIR Cube enclosure. And what a member it is. Brilliant cooling performance coupled with ease of installation and this complete package retails at a respectable price level.
