Corsair CARBIDE 275R Mid-Tower Gaming Case, Tempered Glass

PRO- One of the best features is the space on the rear panel. A big downfall in mid range cases with routing in bag for cables is over-all space and when you wire up and close the panel you feel the smashing of cables, this case offers that extra few cm that makes all the difference and doesnt feel like you're gonna pinch a short in a cable or risk some issue having to smash the panel on.- The tempered side panel is high quality and fastens similar as high end case, very clean looking. - the over all look of the case is very clean if you're after a minimalist look, the over design of cases have gone back over board lately so this is a nice option in a small pool of choices.CON- Minimal air flow from a solid front, just a half inch or so opening to sides of front panel to allow air in. Shouldn't impact too much flow as long as you keep your mid range case to a mid range build, but may struggle if you're gonna fill it up with oveclocked 10k cpu and 3090 card. BUT that's the price ya pay for the clean look, a perforated front would change the look dramatically- biggest knock here is the assembly, pure lack of quality control here not in line with cost. I had to dremel drill cut 3 total screws off the case to remove screws that were so crazily over tightened they were permanently affixed to the case and actually bent a screwdriver head. 2 screws on the HD enclosure and a rear expansion panel screw. They were so over tightened they actually bent the threading on the case, I had no use for the HD enclosure so thankfully was just removing it, it is not able to be installed again.

Awesome case with a great understated look. RGB on the front of the case is just white not addressable. Not a huge deal but worth a mention. Fits my Full ATX MB with Enermax Liqmax III 360mm AIO water cooler in the front no issues. Room for fans up top (most cheaper cases interfere with the motherboard especially if there are heat sinks which my MSI X570 Pro Gaming Carbon has.Has plenty enough airflow for 95% of people (maybe not if you are trying to air cool an overclocked Threadripper, or 9900k)... RTX 2070 reaches 71 degrees max, and Ryzen 7 3700X OC'ed to 4.3ghz constant doesn't reach over 65 degrees Celcius under full load rendering a video for 10+ minutes. Fans that came with it are black and lame, but feel decent quality. Replaced them with some RGB fans. Tempered glass and PSU cover are a nice touch along with the front panel finish and dust filters throughout.This case NOW comes with thumb screws for the tempered glass side panel AND the allen screws it was shipped with when the case was first launched that are mentioned being a pain in the butt in earlier reviews. Also the rubber grommets the glass sits on no longer fall off and get lost. Somethings I was worried about when I bought the case and to my surprise they have since been updated.Overall a very understated look, but still gamer-y enough with the tempered glass side panel to show off my build. I really like it. Very nice quality, what you would expect from a Corsair product.

The media could not be loaded. This is hands down the best case I have ever worked with. Looks fantastic. All of the cut outs and tie off points for cables are in perfect position and make cable management a breeze! The tempered glass side panel is think and robust. Thumb screws are easy to remove. The back side covering your cables has thumb screws that have caps so the don’t come out of the cover which is greatly appreciated as you don’t have to worry about losing them. The best part is the power supply shroud. It hides your PS, allows excess cables and cable length a place to hid and keeps your HDD’s completely hidden. The back side has 2 2.5” SSD mounts. This keeps all of these things hidden and out of sight giving you great airflow and a nice, organized, sterile look.

This case is probably one of the sleekest looking cases I have ever seen. The tempered glass panel is framed in black so if you wanted to hide light strips around the edge of it, they'd be hidden. I read and watched a lot of reviews on this case and the biggest gripe was that the glass panel came with hex key screws rather than thumb screws and the rubber grommets around the holes had a tendency to fall out and get lost. If I could give Corsair a review on here I would give them 6 stars if I could. It is rare that a company listens to the community that buys their products, but corsair did and let me tell you, I was impressed. In the case that I got, the hex key screws were replaced with proper thumb screws and a slight peg was installed on the case so the glass panel can be lined up and attached. I had plenty of room for my video card a Radeon RX 580. The cable management was top notch, with attachment points everywhere. This made for a very clean looking build. Some of the other reviews here noted that there was not any mounting points for solid state drives, there are 4 of them behind the motherboard, again was able to make a clean install of them. I did not use any standard 3.5" drives, I was able to remove that mount from the case to create a open space where the power supply goes. The accent lights in the front are hidden from view, to create an under glow.I built two computers at the same time with this case, my wife and I build our own machines, and we both were extremely impressed with the quality. I will buy this case for any future builds.
