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 II

 

 

A close up on the front 140mm fan, responsible for direct air flow on your GPU and motherboard. A humongous cutout in the motherboard tray and four smaller oval ones for easy cable routing. Only one HDD cage in the 300R, supporting up to 4 HDDs or SSD's. The little brown cardboard box includes all the required screws, zip ties and and co.

 

 

 

The 300R case rests on 4 rubber feet. The well designed slideable bottom dust filter for the power supply, can be easily removed.

 

 

 

 

 

Talking about dust filters, the front panel has got three. A big one in the front for the 140mm fan, but also two smaller ones for the side vents.
