Review: Corsair Carbide 100R Silent

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 03/06/2015 09:07 AM | source: | 5 comment(s)

The Carbide series of PC cases from Corsair have been updated with the budget 100R and 100R silent, Corsair markets the product being entry-level, and with a 50 to 60 USD pricetag, we can not argue on that. These chassis remain to be good looking but really are feature rich products. Keywords here would be a dark design chassis, tool free, decent space and nice airflow with the help of a small fan controller.

Get the 200R then. It has 4 2.5 inch slots and 4 3.5 inch slots for hard drives. I have the 200R and the 500R.
The 200R is the best $35 case I have ever seen.
I even had a h100 in it with 2 7950 with AIO water coolers too.

My 200R before I got the 500R

Very nice looking case. If I were to do a 2nd build I would probably go with this case.

Still rockin my Cosmos II here. No need for a smaller case with less airflow.
