Review on CORSAIR CARBIDE Mini Tower Window - Enhance SEO by Roger Alexander

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Amazing airflow case and nice clean look.

I love this item. I went with this PC build with simplicity in mind rather than a garish design and LEDs flashing all over the place showing what a cool case you have. I was not disappointed. If you route your cables properly, the airflow through this thing is awesome. The hard drives slide out of the center of the case so they don't immediately block the front intake fans. All 2.5" drives are actually on the back of the case, behind the motherboard! Covers for the 3.5-inch drives and the power supply contribute to the overall clean look of the case. There are a few compartments in the suitcase, but I filled them. I honestly don't remember how many I bought, but I do know that I ended up with four Corsair Corsair Air Series AF140 LED Quiet Edition High Airflow fans - white fans - two on the front and two on the top - and one Corsair Air Series AF120. LED Quiet Edition High Airflow Fan Single Pack - White Back. I bought them in white to further enhance the clean look I was going for and it worked beautifully. for cable management, but as I was building I started seeing bugs. After all, I had a lot of cables in the middle of the case and I always hated it. This case is well built and has enough openings to access the back panel so there shouldn't be any cables dangling through the middle of the case. I combine this potential with the EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G1, 80+ GOLD 650W, fully modular, 10 year warranty, includes a FREE 120-G1-0650-XR self-test power supply, and voila! A minimal number of cables are required, and all are easily and conveniently hidden at the back. This case does the work—a direct, continuous flow of air right through the case. There is nothing between the fans and the GPU. There is nothing between the fans and the motherboard. Nothing between fans and CPU except your choice of CPU cooler. I chose the Phanteks Slim Twin Tower Heatsinks, a 140mm PWM cooler for the PH-TC14S and it looks impressive and complements the amazing cooling of this case. I am very impressed with this case and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants a clean, simple look combined with fantastic build potential. This is my first Corsair case but not my last.
