Despite what the photos might make you think, the chassis is not that big, it measures 290mm 460mm x 210mm x 509mm. Obviously we are testing the windowed Mid-tower ATX case. So, the left and right side panels do not have extra little doors/compartments like you have seen on other Corsair chassis, there just isn't any space. What's good though is that you'll see meshes everywhere. Being on such a form factor you need to exhaust heat as fast as you can. The top and side panels also do not have handles to open them up, this is done the old fashioned way with thumb screws. The left side panel has an acrylic see-through panel directly exposing the motherboard.

Lots of ventilation, if you look at the extended bezel then at the left and right side you'll notice a massive mesh that functions as your air intake. And yeah, that top side speaks for itself really. The 270R AIR can house up-to and including ATX motherboards, you'll need to be on the lookout for ATX, Micro or Mini ITX. Micro ATX however is becoming a very popular format, and support even the most high-end processors and graphics cards. We'll install a Micro ATX motherboard today.

Let's zoom in and have a look at the back side. At the top you can see a mesh / 120 mm fan mount. Then in the middle, space for the motherboard rear IO plate with, to the bottom, seven PCI card slots. At the bottom side you can mount a full size ATX power supply. A great detail I think. It is ideal that you get to house a proper size PSU, as it is just so much cheaper to purchase and replace. As you'll notice later on, the PSU will be hidden.

Corsair HS65 Wireless Headset review
Headsets are one of the types of peripherals that Corsair offers (there are also PC components, but that’s not a story for this review). It ranges from budget-oriented HS series (the reviewed one is one of them), then there’s the mid-range Void series, and it ends with high-end Virtuoso. The HS series starts with HS35, and till now, it also contained HS45, HS50, HS55, HS60, HS65, HS70, HS75, and HS80 (some of them had different, wireless variants). We’re checking out the all-new Corsair HS65 Wireless in this review (today is the debut).

Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 6000 CL36 review
In July, Corsair presented a new series of DDR5 memories: the Vengeance RGB DDR5. The available kits from the RGB edition have a frequency higher than the base 4800 MHz (5200-6600 MHz); the non-RGB version starts from 4800 MHz. We are checking the Corsair Vengeance RGB 6000 MHz CL36 DDR5 kit today. It's in the middle frequency in the series. We already had an opportunity (almost three years ago) to review the Vengeance (Pro) RGB series RAM, but it was for the DDR4; the frequency was 3200 MHz, and it received a "Top Pick" award, and also the Vengeance RGB Pro SL which had 3600 MHz frequency (with CL18) and got the "Approved" award. But let's focus back on the tested DDR5 kit.

Corsair Katar Elite Wireless mouse review
In this article, we review the Corsair Katar Elite Wireless mouse. It’s an optical gaming mouse that was launched today, on 26.10.2022. The Katar model is a new version of the Katar Pro Wireless that was introduced on October 2020. The Katar Elite Wireless is targeted at gamers, but it should also work more than fine as a regular mouse. This time, the optical sensor is not the 10K DPI PMW3325 but a 26K DPI Corsair Marksman. It has 1 DPI resolutions steps, 650 IPS tracking, and up to 50G acceleration.
