Review on Corsair Carbide Series 175R Black Mid-Tower ATX Gaming Case with Tempered Glass & RGB Lighting by James Cash

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The price of computers and accessories

. This is a $50 ATX case, plain and simple. I needed a cheap ATX case with a hole for a big cooler (Hyper 212 Plus is the old, not the new Evo) but this barely fit. The case is a good combination of quality and cheapness. It now contains my home server. Advantages: - Tool-free drive bays - Lots of holes for routing and routing cables - Bulges on the side walls allow cables to be tied behind the cell phone compartment. - A good appearance, in my opinion, is modern and edgy, like a small computer obelisk. A small detail, but I really appreciate the plastic feet on the bottom that raise the case a bit for the air intake on the PSU. The supplied fan filter for this air intake is also great. Less Good: - Cheap feel, thin side panels, and plastic front bezel, which isn't much of a surprise considering the price. - Front 120mm fans have no room for air to flow to the fans. As a result, this reduces their effectiveness. Instead, there should be either more air intake space or a grille at the front. The two front 120/140mm fan mounts are drilled for the smaller long fan screws, but only one set of long screws comes with the case. Some hard work with regular sized screws opened up the holes, but it hurt. - No air intakes on the side walls. I have run this case hot even with all five 120mm fans installed. I am so pleased with this case that I have no plans to return it, but I think Cooler Master could make some adjustments that would really make this case a real winner. . It met my needs for a cheap ATX case with free same-day shipping.

Pros
  • is clear even to the old
Cons
  • . The cable is shorter than the others
