Corsair Carbide Series 678C Low Noise Tempered Glass ATX Case

I did a new build last month and have been running it since. Running an ASUS MB and have plenty of room for everything. An insane number of cages as well as thoughtful design for access and cabling. By far the best cable management job I have ever done, mostly because of all of the access and many attachment points around the interior. The power supply cage is a little tight for big hands to get in but was very workable. There are plenty of colling access panels and the airflow is great.This is a BIG case but that was ok with me as it aids in cooling.

Pros: Supports e-atx boards while being an atx caseCan have up to 8 3.5 hdd (corsair only include 6 hdd brackets) 3 2.5 hdd mounts in the back and one drive bay at the top for a dvd driveAlot of space to work in for cable managementGood quality pannels and good paint on the white caseFan controler that can control 6 fans powered with a sata cableCons: Vertical mount gpu can be hard in this case if u have a 3 slot card like the ftw3 since it only support 2 slots or have a tall card like the gaming x trio which can kinda get in the way of the hdd cagesFront panel is made of plastic and has no air vents unless u open the frontFor price point kinda expected to see some kind of rgb fans to be includedCan kinda get cramped if u have a long or thick gpu (could just be me since have alot of hard drives)Over all case is great could be better on the pricing though since for near $200 case not really worth it. Wish corsair included the remaing 2 3.5 hdd cages and that the front panel wasnt plastic. Airflow wise make sure u have a lot of top fans pulling air from the top vents if ur gonna have the front closed off.Updated with the tested gpu1. Evga Ftw3 vertical mount is impossible due to the three slotregular mounting no issue but gets really close to the second hdd cage from the bottom2. Msi gaming x trio gpu is very long so have to remove the second hdd cage and or thrid hdd cage to fit in. Vertical mount have to remove up to the thrid hdd cage due to lenght and height of the card3. Gigabyte aorus xtreme gpu fits in with no issue and vertical mount has no issue with hdd cage in the way.4. Asus Matrix have to remove the second hdd cage for it install but removing the third on recomended. Vertical mounting is the same best to remove the thrid hdd cage

This is an excellent case. Even more awesome when you consider how reasonable the price is.This is a clean, conservative case. It does have a glass side-panel/door, so you can show off lighted internals if you wish. All points of air entry have a filter. All panels have sound deadening material applied (except the glass). Even with -9- fans inside, unless I'm really pushing the system (i.e. 4K video rendering +), the system is quiet. When used for just doing office productivity work (Word, Excel, Outlook...) the fans never spin up enough for me to even hear them.Any heat emitted is a function of the electronics placed within. That said, it is far from the hottest box I've ever had.Absolutely love the chassis. Only one nit. Depending on the motherboard used, attempting to fit USB connectors (i.e. MSI Godlike m/board) can conflict with the central ports. My solution, get a $3 right-angle (down) USB adapter. Zero proble.

The side panel on the motherboard side has already been annoying to get back on for me and looks like it will be an issue. So that stinks but the case overall is beautiful and I was paranoid that it wouldn't cool well because of negative reviews talking about this case having issues with cooling. I do not notice any issues with cooling and I have great temperatures in the lower 30s when idle using a wraith cooler on a Ryzen 7 3700x with a MSI B450 Motherboard. The case itself isn't super silent with the top mesh part on but it's not loud either. The temps I'm getting are with the top mesh on and not the solid piece that could and probably would restrict airflow. So to end this review my biggest disappointment with this case is the side panel on the motherboard side because it's already starting to warp on me a little bit. Not happy that they didn't construct it better so you can easily slide it on and off. It's already messing up for me and becoming obnoxious to take off and put back on. I bought this like New condition for 130 on Amazon so not a terrible price for a nice looking case. I am satisfied with it.
