A valuable purchase, some advantages!

In general, everything is fine, the migration of hardware from the old case to the new one took about a couple of hours, there were difficulties during assembly, but this is due to the large heatsink on the processor and the installed fans on the top of the case. I also recommend installing a PSU with detachable cables, there will be more space for accumulating airflow. It definitely turned out to be quite quiet and at the same time the iron receives the cooling it should receive. I definitely…

Pros
  • A high-quality case, a well-thought-out air circulation system - I put two 140 Noctua P14s in the front, two 120 Noctua P12s on the upper part, one on the back of the case - it was assembled. Quiet - even with five installed fans. Cable management is well organized, all switching is hidden behind the wall.
Cons
  • I would like a larger basket for HDD (up to 5 pieces in a box) A basket for 4 HDDs is more of an engineering move if you install a longer video card (since the basket will simply interfere) and good airflow from the front fan.

Suitable for simple setups

Large body, easy upgrade options. Comes with 2 fans and many advanced settings. Easy installation from DVD, HDD, SSD. Motherboard standoffs have been pre-installed for a very quick installation. USB 3 ports on the front work without problems. The only problem is that the motherboard connectors aren't color coded and the manual doesn't tell you which wire is positive or negative. I have noticed that there is a black triangle on the back of each set to indicate it is positive (well I assumed it…

Pros
  • Tool-free installation of 3.5" and 5.25" discs: Assembly is simplified with tool-free disc installation
Cons
  • confusing

The utility is great but the button ruins everything.

Update 4 months later: I contacted Corsair about the power button and they sent me a new I/O panel with no fuss. Kudos to Corsair's customer service team for that - and for not responding in the same offensive manner as "CorsairArt" in the comments section below. I haven't decided yet if it's worth taking the case apart to see if the new switch is any better than the original one. That's really really bad because as mentioned, this is basically a very good case and a steal at $60. The price…

Pros
  • SSD support: All four hard drive bays support SSDs. Corsair compatible liquid coolers are h55, h60, h75, h80i. The maximum height of the CPU cooler is 5.9 inches. The maximum length of the power supply is 9 inches.
Cons
  • So So
