The Carbide 200R is a plain yet effective looking chassis design, with the Corsair logo at the bottom taking a highlight.
On the left-hand side of the chassis there are fan mounts for two 120mm / 140mm fans.
Looking at the back we can see there is already a 120mm exhaust fan fitted and 7 PCI expansion slots. There are however no watercooling holes.
At the front of the chassis are 2 x USB 3.0 ports and a microphone and headphone jack. There is also the reset and power switch. On top of the chassis are mounts for up to two 120mm / 140 mm fans.
The reset and power lights are not very strong and hardly visible.
The bottom of the chassis features space for another 120/140mm fan and also has a power supply fan filter that can be removed.
this is a great case for the money – love their products. A lot of system builders use this case.
Ive been waiting for a long time for an ultra high end aluminum case from Corsair, like a Lian Li case, around £300-£400. They have the resources to make that happen and would get all the design 100% right.
@ Dank D well its called the Corsair 900D yours for £290 in april, They did’nt use aluminium for that majority of the case due to the flex it would of had in a case that size
@ Leon T. Thanks, yeah I almost bought it, but I want them to make a proper high end aluminum case, like Lian Li. It wouldn’t flex if they built it with higher grade, thicker aluminum like Lian Li. Those are really quality products.
Only problem with Lian Li is their products look a bit stuffy now and they haven’t modernised them to keep up with the times. Thats why I want Corsair to make one. Id pay up to £500 for one of those. A good case can last a lifetime. I still have some Lian Li cases from a decade ago.
