Sturdy, attractive, large case for full ATX boards and water cooling

This is a quite large case, with plenty of room for air cooling, large radiators for air cooling, extended video cards in SLI or xFire, really anything except 5 1/4" drives that open in front. The top is on open screen, so you will want something to cover it if you aren't going to have fans there. The color is solid black throughout. I like the way it looks and feels, and it is easy to put your build together. The area beneath the CPU is cut out so you can install and change coolers without removing your entire board, if you're into that sort of thing. The space available for cooling is overkill unless you're into overclocking or very dense builds. If you like that, then I would think you'd want a glass window to fawn over your gear. I know I do. (this is for a second build, and was pretty fairly priced with two day delivery).

High quality, well-designed case that rivals the S340.

Very impressive case - very deliberately designed, and obviously built with enthusiasts in mind. It's comparable to, if not better than the NZXT S340, but definitely beats it in price. The paint is solid and tough (a few errant screwdriver strikes didn't appear to scratch it), and much harder to mark up than the S340 satin black. The entire top of this case is "open" with only a wide metal grate of air holes. It can very easily handle large radiators and means the computer runs pretty cool. Front and top can handle 140 mm fans. The case itself is actually quite wide and can handle all but the most ridiculously oversized CPU air coolers. I'm using one of the taller coolers on the market (Coolermaster T2), which has a full 120mm fan mounted, and it still clears. I have a very, very large graphics card (Zotac 1070 AMP Extreme!) and it fits quite nicely with room to spare, both on width and length. It's easy to build in this case - tons of studs for zip-ties in cable routing, deliberate placement of every item, multi-functional fans and screw holes. I'm using a very standard 2x120 mm in push pull (similar to how they ship stock, which is basically the industry standard) and it's fast, cool, and clean. The cable routing is pretty simple, too - I routed my front fan cable behind the side panel. Again, it was incredibly easy to get almost no exposed cables on this case. Getting clean, linear airflow should be pretty easy. One thing that doesn't make sense to me is that the front panel is on the opposite side of the window, which means the power button, USB, and audio jacks will face away from the user (since obviously the window will face out). It would make far more sense to have the window and USB ports on the same side. Bummer, because the panel is well-built and designed, and the Another observation is that of the two (admittedly, entry-level) fans that this case ships with, one is a red LED fan. I replaced this with a black non-lit fan lying around.

Stylish case that complements as minimalist PC build. The front headphone jack location is bit obtuse, but unless you don't have a set of desktop speakers, its not a problem. The case comes with a good selection of accessories to mount various peripherals and route cables. I have seen some complaints about the lack of inlet air filters, but after 6 months of use with 1 intake and 3 exhaust fans for ventilation, I haven't seen a noticeable amount of dust build up inside the case. No complaints here. I'm glad I purchased it.

Corsair 270R Carbide

This review is for the 270R Carbide solid panel case from corsair. What an absolute dream of a case to build in. I bought this case to build my buddy's first gaming pc on commission. Let me just say I can't believe it's less than 60 bucks. I bought the solid panel version because he wasn't interested in any frills. I would not recommend the windowed version anyway because the panel is not tempered glass and would easily scratch like all those cheap panels do. The build quality in this case is exceptional even without considering the price. There are plenty of cut outs for cable maneuvering and an excess of space in the power supply shroud to tuck away cables for non modular power supplies. I'm especially impressed with the system on the backside for anchoring storage devices. I was able to fasten 2 SSDs and one hard drive to the included brackets without any issues. The brackets themselves don't require tools but you will need a screw driver to screw your devices into the brackets themselves. The only negative to this case is the placement of the front IO. The power button and usb ports are located on the side of the front panel which already sucks enough. Now factor in that they positioned them on the opposite side from the front side panel which means if you wish to have this pc against a wall you will need to either face the main panel with your components away from you (especially annoying if you do get the window side panel version) or face the IO away from you and likely be unable to connect dongles or flash drives into the usb ports without maneuvering the case. This negative is annoying but not enough to knock a star off. Obviously the preferable orientation of the case is for it to be facing toward you from your right hand side with eniugh space from the wall to allow for comfortably pushing the power button and plugging and unplugging usb devices. Solid case. 5/5.

Lovely case, lots of space.

So, this case was part of my first custom build that I ever did. The case has so much room, lots of fan slots, it looks sleek and nice. Corsair sent me the wrong bundle actually and accidentally gave me a free fan haha (thanks guys) pros: Lots of room Good airflow Cable management is easy Lots of storage slots on the back hidden away Looks nice Cheap Cons: The top is a dumb size. Accidentally thought you could fit three 120mms on the top since its a lot of space but you can only put like two 1/2 120s (I have basically two and a half 120s on the top, part of my third 120 is blocked but still looks okay) Good case overall.

Plenty of space

Super easy to build with, and this was my first computer. The cable management is like no desktop I've ever seen, you can mount 4 drives in the back and still get all your wires back there with no issue. Plus the basement for the PSU and unneeded cables, along with the cable feed lines all around the case and spots to zip tie to, huge amount of fans and plenty of space for radiator/cooler in the front make this a must buy. I literally see no reason why I would buy a more expensive case, other than clout. Also, the graphics card (1060) fits amazing.

The air flow through the case is good and it fits all the standard components you would ...

I've had this case for a couple of months now and it's a solid case. The air flow through the case is good and it fits all the standard components you would want in a case. One thing about this case that was important to me and has proven to be a life saver is that the power button is on the side of the case rather than on the top of the case. I have a number of cats and kittens that pass through my office from time to time and they like to sit on top of the various computers that I have. This is the first case I've owned that has the power button on the side and this has brought the number of unexpected shutdowns during work and gaming from several dozen a month down to zero. Additionally, the internals of the case are well thought out. The SSD slots are out of the way and still within easy reach of the motherboard mount making cable management simple.

Unexpectedly amazing

Wow this case is simply amazing. I thought it was just a normal box but it has well thought out design features (minus the stupid USB3.0 flat cable that I wish was round) and has a place for all your HDD and SSDs, clear open area so the front fans can cool the motherboard, a gigantic back fan, and plenty of room for literally anything you are thinking about doing in this case. I would buy this case for every pc I build.

Great case for any build

This is a great case for any build. 6 120mm fan slots or 4 140mm + a 120mm in the back. Room for a 240mm or 280mm rad up top, and a 240mm or a 360mm rad in the front. The way the fans brackets are made, you can easily do any combination of 140mm and 120mm fans to make this case work for you. Great slotting for cable management (thought no rubber grommets which is unfortunate). The lack of drive bays in the front is actually a plus in my opinion, as drive bays are ugly. The drives mount in the back of the case with the cables. Out of sight, out of mind. The only way this case won't work for you, is if you NEED a CD/external media drive. Discs are so outdated at this point though, it's nearly irrelevant. Great build quality, no sharp edges inside. The only downside of the interior, is that the shroud for the PSU makes it a bit hard to work on the bottom of the motherboard once you have a full size GPU in there. But removing a GPU is easy, and this is going to be the same in any case with a shroud. Overall, a phenomenal case for the price.

This case is exactly what I was looking for. Study as heck, and without any bling.

I scoured the available ATX mid size cases for something I could build in and end up with a machine that emits zero light. I have the model with no window on the side, so the only light would come out the top grille. I've disabled all lighting effects on my mobo and CPU cooler, making this as dark as it can get. In the interest of full disclosure, I also put a small piece of electrical tape over the power button. It does have a very bright illuminated power symbol. I feel like I'm a customer in a niche market within a niche market. Thanks, Amazon, for having so many options for us.
