Corsair 110Q Mid-Tower Quiet ATX Case

I purchased this 110Q case about 3 months prior to making this review and I have to say, it has met and in some ways surpassed my expectations. I built a computer in this case (Ryzen3-3200g soon to be Ryzen5-3500x, Auros Pro Wifi B450 mobo, SeaSonic PSU, 4 hard drives, RX560, etc.) with the goal of having a computer so silent, you could hear a pin drop even with it running at full tilt in a stress test. The case is of course compatible with all motherboard sizes and even my full ATX board had enough space for me to build my first ever PC and never feel cramped while building it. It's of some kind of metal that feels like aluminum but is certainly one of the most solid feeling cases I've ever touched. The "doors" have some kind of soft touch material that does a good job absorbing sound though the one aspect of this case I wasn't impressed with was the left side door that goes over the front of the motherboard as for my computer at least, it doesn't quite sit flush meaning light can escape which makes it look a little less cool in darkness but that could have been an isolated defect and cool factor wasn't that high on my priorities. It comes with a single 120mm exhaust fan and no intake fans, but boy is it a good exhaust fan. I wasn't expecting much from the fans when I bought it, just a crappy little unit that would be loud and not move much air. I was wrong. The included black exhaust fan isn't as quiet as it comes but it's pretty quiet even at full tilt and manages to move a decent amount of air. All that said, I would certainly recommend this case to anybody who doesn't mind a full size mid tower case and wants silence above all else, a good quality case that looks sleek and professional, or an easy-to-work-in sleeper.

For those seeking a rather discreet case that is not flashy and has some noise dampening capabilities on a budget, I can recommend the 110Q. There is some light noise dampening material on the front and side panels. While the noise reducing capabilities are not significant like in BeQuiet! cases, there is a some difference. The case can run warm due to minimal venting; there is intake through the front capable of three 120mm fans, and one exhaust vent in the back for a 120mm fan.The case is compact, length wise. To fit larger graphics cards, you will have to reposition or remove the included hard drive cage. However, there are two SSD mounts in the back panel if you do need to remove it. Alternatively, you can use an M2 drive.The case has other nice features, but the ones mentioned here were things that i was specifically considering before purchasing. Considering the price, this is a great value product from Corsair.

This case's muted looks help it blend in to an office environment while still holding mid-tier performance oriented components and staying quiet. I wish the front panel had a little more ventilation, but it is overall a much better case than most office style mid-tower cases. If you choose this case you should have reasonable expectations of thermal performance. It can easily cool mid-range components with a typical fan setup, but it has minimal radiator support and would be a poor choice for high power draw parts. The internal chassis was standard Corsair, so building was easy and straight forward. The chasis was well made and the steel didn't feel flimsy, but the plastic front panel did feel a little flimsy when removing and reinstalling it. No complaints though at this case's usual price point.

I am VERY grateful to Corsair for still manufacturing a quality "white box" without the frills of acrylic and plexi windows. I needed a no-nonsense case for a high-end build for a professional-client. This case fits the bill perfectly.Finding a quality case was a real challenge in today's market where the majority of cases sold are for gaming rigs. Very little mind is paid to the need for solid quality cases for custom one-off builds.Noise level I couldn't score higher than 4 in good conscience because I only installed (needed) one case fan for the exhaust. Noise was not perceivable.Material quality was a concern of mine going in as most "simple" cases on the market are either pretty old and that very sharp sheet metal of yester-year, or very cheap.This case is built very well with tight-fitting doors, a bottom air filter, and several SSD mounting locations as well as 2 full-size HDD bays. There is room in the front of the case for 3 120mm fans and possibly a radiator with some creativity.Ease of removal is a rather general statement and is very subjective to the skill of the tech but I would easily consider this an A tech or L1 tech assembly
