Packaging for the Corsair 110R comes in the form of a thick brown cardboard box. On the front is a large image of the case, with the Corsair log and 110R printed in the corners. On the rear is an exploded diagram of the case parts and a brief description in various languages below.
Once removed from the box we can see that the case is reasonably well protected. Thick polystyrene covers the top and bottom of the case along with a plastic wrapping around the entire product. Once removed from the packaging it becomes evident how compact the case is.
The front panel features a rather minimalist design with a completely closed off front panel, a small Corsair logo towards the bottom and ODD cut out to the top. Around the sides of the front panel are air-flow vents which are approximately 25mm wide.
Front I/O is located on the top panel and consists of two USB 3.1 Type-A Ports, a single 3.5mm headphone/microphone socket, a large square power button and a similar smaller square reset switch. Unfortunately, USB Type-C connectivity is missing from the front I/O, which is expected from a case in this price range.
The right-hand side panel consists of tempered glass, with quite a heavy dark tint and is mounted on four thumbscrews to the chassis. On the left is a steel panel which is attached to the chassis via two captive thumbscrews. Once removed, the panel easily slides towards the rear for removal.
At the rear is a large cut out for the power supply. Above that, are seven PCIe expansion slots covered by blanks and attached with thumbscrews. To the right of the PCIe slots is a rectangular air vent and above that is the rear I/O cut out and a single 120mm fan vent.
On the underside of the case are four plastic feet with integrated rubber pads and a removable dust filter covering the power supply fan vent. The dust filter is removed by pressing down on the lever and pulling out from the rear.
A further magnetic dust filter is located on the top panel, covering the 120mm/140mm fan location. Additionally, the front panel has integrated steel mesh dust filters to the air-flow cut-outs.
The structure of the case primarily consists of steel with an equal and consistent black coating. The front panel is manufactured from ABS plastic with a brushed satin effect. Overall, the exterior of the Corsair 110R looks great. The quality of materials looks good considering the price and the minimalist design provides an understated look.
