Review on CORSAIR CARBIDE Mini Tower Window - Enhance SEO by Bud Crabtree

Revainrating 4 out of 5

3/5 stars Electronics

So I bought an ASUS Z270 M1 motherboard, equipped with an Intel i7 7700k processor, Corsair H105 AOI CPU cooler, 4x Corsair SP-120 fans (I will buy two more). Replace the fan on the CPU cooler), 64GB of Crucial Ballistix RAM, an ASUS GeForce GTX 1080 Turbo, a Corsair HX850i power supply, and an ADATA SU800 512GB SSD with Windows 10 Pro 64-bit installed is awesome, but the tower itself is awesome it is fantastic a lot of. The tower is full! To be honest, I was skeptical about the parts when I started collecting things, but everything (barely) fit! Removing the front panel isn't just a quick fix, as if that would make you believe in their instructions. The tabs holding them in place need to be pointing in the wrong place to be removed. So be careful not to just try and pull it off. The plastic case covering the PSU is a bit tricky to orient properly during reassembly. The wired side of the mast provides ample space for cable management with plenty of room for tie downs to the mast. The only downside is that the thumbscrews are a bit short, but they hold the page well once you line them up, which is another downside - it doesn't really have a spur or anything to keep it off your hands. BIG WARNING. The see-through door doesn't really have caps over the hinges to keep it in place, which is great for easy removal, but not by much - it can come loose and fall off if you're not careful when opening from the side. no room on the table for the door to land. The magnetic grid on top of the tower isn't my favorite, it's fragile and easily damaged by rounded corners. The 2.5-inch hard drive bays are also on the cabling side. These are spring-loaded slots that you insert the drive into. I used the spacer that came with my hard drive to better hold it in place. It's not bad, but it's not great either.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
