Alright, packaging / unboxing first; Carbide 270R - yes, that's the one alright. Standard cardboard with simple black fonts.
The chassis is covered in a layer of plastic and then sits in-between two sheets of styrofoam. The chassis is well protected, we did not stumble into any kind of scratches or damage whatsoever. After unpacking, there it is. You'll notice that the see-through panel is protected by a plastic layer. What first comes to mind is that the chassis has a very deep dark design, and nothing screams out loud or is over done.
The chassis will provide you a lot of room inside to build a pretty awesome PC casing for a fair amount of money. You have massive graphics card space and huge power supply bay space so you can fit in even the biggest ATX power supplies. As far as storage goes you have room for two 3.5" hard drives and then another two 2.5" SSDs. There will be two versions sold, one with see-through side panel and one with a closed side panel.
Up top is a HUGE mesh, here you can mount several sizes of fans and radiators in 120/140mm fan mounts and thus up-to 280mm radiators to get your liquid cooling freak on. We'll zoom in at it later on but to the top right you can see the front panel connector and button access.
