Corsair Carbide 300R Case Review

Cases & PSU/Cases by leeghoofd @ 2012-03-27

Corsair has targeted with their Carbide chassis series a brand new range of end users. Those that still prefer a decent quality build, but at an affordable price/performance ratio. We already saw the 400 and 500R versions on the test bench. Today we introduce Corsair's latest offering the 300R. Still a Midi Tower case with adequate cooling. But the main focus is the price tag. Corsair wants to position this 300R versus all the budget cases out there. And I must say the price turned out to be very competitive, retailing around plus minus 65 euros. Let's take a plunge into the world of this Carbide 300R case.

Inside the Case Part I

A big cutout behing the CPU socket is there to facilitate CPU cooler assembly. Four large oval cutouts in the motherboard tray help cable routing big time. Talking about hiding cables, there's plenty of room behind the motherboard tray.

There's only room for four HDD's. Less storage in this 300R then it's two bigger brothers. The 400 and 500R can house up to six HDD's. Due to the lacking top HDD cage, the maximum graphics card length supported is a massive 450mm. On the rear we spot ventilated back plates. Sadly no rubber damped support for the power supply.

The front pops off with a gentle pull. You can see the single 140mm fan and optional room for a 2nd one. The fan is top mounted to provide direct flow onto the graphics card. A dust filter is integrated in the front mesh.
