DinoPC makes use of the Arctic White variant of Corsair's remarkably beautiful Carbide 500R case. The perfectly-poised white and black style creates an elegant and striking appearance that will be a delight to glance at on a daily basis.
Desk-users will be overjoyed to note that the case is equally attractive head-on. The black bezel of Samsung's DVD RW drive matches the Carbide 500R's front panel mesh, accordingly.
2x USB 3.0 and firewire ports reside either side of a pair of audio jacks. Power and reset buttons are located at opposite sides of the case, eliminating the possibility of pressing the wrong one.
A fan LED switch and speed-controlling slider are also utilised on the 500R's front panel.
The Predator Extreme's rear connectivity should suffice for a clear majority of users.

One of my drive bays snapped too 🙁
Nice selection of components. those graphics cards are wicked. nice selection. Id still rather build one myself however, even if it cost more. Good option for the punters who dont want to build their own.
Can you ever go wrong with a Corsair H100 at the heart of a system? im shocked they set the profile to the top however, its really very loud at that setting and I wouldnt use it. the middle option is my choice. it varies but doesnt quite hit the same speeds.
I work for a competitor. All I can say if that’s the best cable management you’ve seen, you haven’t seen ours. Also we ship that particular case with a full system inside and have never had one arrive at our customers damaged in such a way.
