Review on CORSAIR CARBIDE Mini Tower Window - Enhance SEO by Aaron Franklin

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Really happy with this case.

This bag is well designed and well made. You can simply route all the power cables under the motherboard and then lift it up through the well-placed rubber grommets to connect it to the top of the motherboard, resulting in a tidy interior. I used a Corsair H115i CPU cooler and it fits perfectly. Enough space for two very long graphics cards. I have replaced all the fans that came with the H115i case and cooler with 3 higher quality 4-pin maglev fans. There are only 3 SSD drive slots and 2 3.5" internal drive slots, but how many do you need these days? I have a 1TB SSD and an 8TB internal hard drive. If you need more, you should buy a NAS device. With 4-pin fans and an ATi power supply, the case is virtually silent. I didn't use any of the 3 fan power wires coming out of the case. The Corsair LINK 4 controller software sees the fans even when they are connected to the motherboard. It also sees the Corsair PSU and RAM as well as any thermal sensors on my ASUS motherboard. The bottom dust filter pops out instantly (it's held in place by magnets), but you'll have to open the case to get to the front dust filter. The headphone and USB jacks on the top of the case are a nice touch. I am very happy with the build.

Pros
