  • So if i know good it can be mounted the Corsair CH100 right? My MAIN question would be what do you think in witch case shoukd i buy the CH 100, in this one (Corsair R400), OR Enermax Hoplite??

  • @hope00hope Well since it is a corsair cooler it will fit with no problem in the corsair case. Also the h100 has standard mounts for 120 fans so it should fit in the hoplite as well as long as the case doesn't have different mounts wich i think it doesn't.

  • Should i get this or the Cooler Master 690 II Advanced Case ?

  • @MrHalfdan If you have the buget for the other case, than the 690 II.

  • Im ordering this as part of my spec from pcspecialist but im really worried with dust coming in through the top and sides. I dont particularly want to be fiddling with screws from the inside of the case, as im a novice, and am wanting to know what the best way is to attach an aluminum 140mm filter to the outside. Any help?

  • I'm going to buy this case pretty soon. I was thinking of an option to mount a dust filter on the side panel. Because of the panel shape you won't be able to use an internal filter so I'm either going to use an external dual 140mm magnetic filter (if I find one) or two 140mm magnetic filters from DEMCiflex. It should do the job. Cool thing is if you're using socket 2011 I think you can easily mod the right panel to fit a fan over there for aditional cooling.

  • Would a ASUS Geforce GTX580 DC2 fit in there?

  • @fromagelatin8 Yes. That card is 11.5" long and as it says the lengths supported are 12" with a fan installed or 12.4" without a fan on the hdd cage.

  • @0peppers Thank you for your time :)

  • @fromagelatin8 No worries. Good luck! :)

  • These guys make the best reviews

  • Hey so if i bought 2 more fans where would be the smartest place to place them?

  • great review. this guy seriously needs to team up with paul with newegg reviews. that othe guy doing case reviews just suuuuuucks! this guy knows how to do a proper review!!! i swear man you should hit up newegg and show them this video maybe you can get a job reviewing products or somthing. thats be awesome

  • Great review, great case! It looks like it has great cooling, and indeed the cable management looks amazing. To me this looks like a great case for it's price tag.

  • can this case hold my mini-itx mobo?

    dont ask why -_-

  • this case or cm storm enforcer?

  • Hey HardwareCanucks, I'm thinking of getting this case for my brother's build. However, here is my question: Which CPU heatsink did you use and what are its dimensions? How far was it from the left side panel? This would give me an idea as to which CPU heatsink I can look into, as well as its dimensions. Thanks!

  • Will this case suitable for LGA 2011 motherboard ?

  • @MrAvatar9999 yes 

  • @MrAvatar9999 Do you know how to measure space with a measuring device? Why don't you take the measurements of your MOBO you intend to buy and compare it to the size this case will allow? Wow, I hope you don't breed

  • @TexanMike Thx for your advice, sometime it's not only the size, it about the "screw's hole" . will it fit into this case. That's why i ask.... :)

  • @MrAvatar9999 yes, because "screws" vary in size like your dick? You're a retard.

  • anyone know if a corsair h 100 will fit in this case?

  • @layol692k7 looking at my case right now.. i dont think so, maybe it would fit in tightly but cant say for sure

  • @layol692k7 Nvm it does fit, check the review by timetolivecustoms

  • @layol692k7 yes, the brackets on the top 2 fans are designed to fit it perfectly, you can mount it on the top of the case, essentially

  • @layol692k7 all corsair cases fit the h100 XD

  • Dear Corsair,

    I want to give you all of my money.

    Sincerely PT

  • I have this chassis & I luv it !!!!

  • I like this Corsair 400R mid-tower case ... just 2 things I'd like to change:

    1. I'd prefer a window side panel.

    2. I'd like to be able to remove the hard drive thing (or half of it) to have a pair of 7990's when they come out and a fan to maximize air flow over the GPU's.

    The price is right!

    Great review!

  • @Hercules2345

    Yeah, I'm really excited for the next gen 32nm gpus from AMD. I plan to have two 7970 crossfired in this case. I found this website that seems to show some legit specs for the next gen graphics cards, but I don't think I'm allowed to display URL's on Youtube for others to see.

  • @mrSheepdog26 What's that link? You can post links but must put in spaces so YouTube doesn't recognize it as a link like this:

    videocardz. com /ati/radeon-7000

  • @Hercules2345

    wccftech com/ amds-generation-28nm-hd7000-se­ries-southern-islands-graphic-­cards-specs-leaked/

  • @Hercules2345 i wonder if you can afford a pair of 7990 why not afford a bigger,better case ??

  • Wow this is the cheapest full tower case (with really good pretty much everything) that i've ever seen ! It's so good! Corsair got it 100% right!

  • What conflict's the thicker radiator? And is a sidepanel radiator possible if the fans are outside of the case?

  • In Soviet Russia, case reviews YOU!

  • are the fans connected to the HD bay`? could i remove the cages and still have the fans in the front`?

  • @loffe2s no they are not connected to the hard drive bay but you also cant remove the bays either (^.^)

  • @Pixel4tion i would ofc remove the popbits.... i mount hd and ssd in 5.25 bay and remove cage and have direct airflow to gpu/cpu, so if the fans are not connected to the bay this might be a very good case for me :p

  • Nice review. Finally corsair gets it right

    a) not ugly as hell

    b) 8 pci slots

    c) 6 3.5" bays instead of 4 or 5

    d) innovative thumb screws

    e) no dumb side pannel window

    f) good # and good quality included fans

    g) usb 3 mobo headers instead of passthru ugly blue wires

    h) plenty of room for full sized even 12" gpus!

    This is the case to buy, now!

  • @rationalbeing I still dont think its as sexy as the 600t, and you dont have to get the window on the 600t, you're blowing things out of the water a little bit.. lol

  • @rationalbeing None of Corsair's cases were ugly IMO. The 800D and the 650D are the sexiest cases known to man. I really like the side window because the side mesh really doesn't do all that much TBH.

  • @ 4:35 it look like the graphic card gona break the motherboard

  • Would crossfire be okay in this case?

  • @xstncd yes easely

  • @mindharvester Thanks, I just realised that after I saw a related video showing this case with tri-way crossfire xD

  • Great review, thanks.

  • They could've added a stock top fan ...

  • I'm in love!

  • Great case, even better review.

  • i jizzed at the end, have to buy this case now. *_* Im in love.

  • don't like those side panels

  • the front fan button, does it just turn off the LEDS on the fan or the fans itself?

  • @deathblad13 He already said it's for the LED itself , and not the fan.Listen more carefully.

  • WHYYYYYYY... WHY DID I SEE THIS AFTER I BOUGHT A CM SCOUT YESTERDAY

  • @GunMetalNocturne hahahahaha. That sucks, man. maybe you could sell it on eBay and get some money back?

  • Does the sidepanel support dual 120mm or 140mm fans?

  • looks like the CoolerMaster HAF 922. same sort of styling

  • That card is sagging something fierce, isn't that harming it?

  • Whens the Corsair Carbide Series 500R coming up? Can't wait to see your review on it!!

  • looks so damn good

  • ffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuu when is this getting released?

  • When is it coming out in the US

  • I don't think you should consider $100 a budget case.

  • what about noise? did make alot of noise?

  • This or CM 690 II advanced?

  • How come there isn't a female reviewing the case, when all I see are feminine looking hands and arms touching the case. Not that the male narrator has any problems or issues with his voice. Just saying, it would be very great listening and viewing experience :O. But in general this is a nice looking case.

  • @Kenster1025

    Female hands/arms? I think your just gay....congratz....I think!

    OT:

    Ok case tho!

  • Great review! I like the rubber grommets (spelling..?) in this case over the 690 II Advanced, as well as the fact that, well, it's Corsair!

  • Dimitry, there is nothing wrong with the way you speak brother. I did find it a little hard to understand the first few sentences in this vid though, might be cause (I think) you may have been rushing when speaking. ;).

  • Fractal Design Define is better

  • Best corsair case i've seen to date, mostly because of it's price, but also because I have a 690 II and this case looks like it was meant to be a 690 II killer. I definitely want this case now but i'll probably keep my 690 II because need>want.

  • Great review!! Enjoyed watching it. Thanks.

  • It looks very budget, I would take the coolermaster over this. This isnt a bad case it just isnt great.

  • Wow... This is the only case I have ever seen under $100 which I think will rival the 690 II. Great job by Corsair, looks like an amazing case. I will probably continue to use my 690 II since I am a cheap bastard but if any friends need a build I'll buy this for them for sure.

  • not to be rude - but get a person that speaks clearly especially when making a report to the consumer .. not everyone can understand such an accent -- even a British accent can be bothersome especially those with a thick accent ... his delivery about the contents was well done - if one could understand it .. I had to mentally compensate to decipher - comprehend - evaluate - all at the same time before what is actually said .. otherwise a good report .. MHO ..

  • @you166mhz So what you have basically said is - I can't understand a true Englishman, or, in fact, anyone but an American from my part of the country.

    I am British, I can understand people from all areas of my own country, from all over America, Australia, all over Europe, and any other English speaking person. This wasn't difficult to understand and was very clear

  • @you166mhz sorry, cant change the way i speak! :D

  • Metric system, damn it! Use it.

  • If you want a side panel window you can easily mod it with a dremmel and some plexiglas.

  • Looks great!

  • Optional 10 fans? wtf. Its optional 8. You cant count the graphics card and cpu. Then you whould have to say optional 12 fans at least. Beacause you can use a cpu cooler with 2 fans and looks like its room for SLi/CrossFire. But other than that. Good review. Love the case. Think it looks better than the graphite(i own) but worse than the 800D(i owned)

  • @trrn13p no, its 10 fans, as two can be installed on the side panel! It is a little misleading in the video, i apologize! :D

  • @trrn13p, he is correct, it allows 10. I have one here.

  • Please don't take it so personal...I wasn't criticizing you, I was making an observation what I perceived when listening to your review. There was nothing wrong with the sound of your voice. I really enjoy Hardware Canucks and your reviews are fine, but for myself, it's just a bit difficult to understand some (not all) of what your saying due to your accent.

  • $100? No thanks. Unless it includes shipping and there is some good combo and MIR with TX650

    HAF912/HAF922, CN692, Lancool K58/K62, Fractal design definre R3 / Arc/ Core3000,

  • It's still difficult to understand some of what this guy says...a little to much of an accent when he speaks...This new edition from Corsair looks very nice, they seem to be incorporating many of the quality features that enthusiast builders are looking for in a PC case. Would like to see an option for a side panel window along with a few color options...Corsair is doing a great job since entering the PC case segment.

  • @DieselCat18 Is that so? I welcome all comments regarding my reviews, as i always want to improve. :DD but please, be constructive when criticizing, otherwise its useless! :DD

  • i still like haf 922 better.

  • Music of video?

  • haf 922 clone anyone?

  • @P3RuLeS except the 922 is shit. poor cable management, 1 intake 1 exhaust, and the inside isnt even painted, thanks id rather have a quality product from corsair.

  • @P3RuLeS nope, all i see is another case entering the market claimed by the haf 922/antec 900 cases

  • @HardwareCanucks Why are you doing reviews for for HardwareCanucks, Dimitry49?

  • @p1nn3rT Why not? 

  • @Dimitry49 i was just wondering xD because you have your own channel and you havent updated it in a while :( are you still going to be doing reviews for your own channel?

  • Why are you guys still calling this a "new voice"??? This guy did the last 2-3 reviews already. And he does a fine job at it.

  • Good review, I like this case, but it's a bit on the ugly side, practical but ugly. I'll pay the extra $30 for the 500R, it's prettier... :)

  • Comment removed

  • nevermind, its the same price :D :D :D :D gonna grab myself one

  • I really like corsair cases but this is still too expensive :( gonna go with the 690 II

  • @AndrewHume1 I have the 690 IIand it's a brilliant case. I think it's more classy than this one too. This one is probably the most confortable in terms of cable management, but I find it a little ugly.

  • @Megadeth6633 hmm, I don't really have a preference on looks, they are each good looking in their own way, but I think I'll take the 690, the white one looks AWESHUM!!!!!11

  • im happy with my corsair graphite 600 case. corsair is the best!

  • U.G.L.Y.

    Ugh

    Geezus this is a

    Lame

    Yucky cheap looking case ,

    is it just me or is this a antec and coolermaster ripoff?

  • haf 912 plus is better but is now harder to find in the uk!

  • I'd much rather have the cheaper, nicer looking 690 ii with better watercooling capabilities

  • a tann fann are you blokes doin a revierw??

  • Is that guy Canadian?

  • pretty gay

  • CM690 II still has the sata hard drive dock at the top which this case does not. It's very useful for backups which is why my builds will still stick to the CM 690 II.

  • Comment removed

  • Wow, way to copy directly from Cooler Master, and it probably costs 3 times more than a Cooler Master.

  • We're starting to get too many cases, much like they're doing with the power supplies. All these low end GS power supplies, low end gawdy looking cases. I know it's being done to hit price segments, but it's starting to cheapen things too much.

  • Very Nice looking case. I just spent a little over $50.00 on a case and then another $40.00 soon to be $55.00 on fans.... I'm very happy with the case and the way it's set up (thermalright V3 if you're wondering), but if I'd thought it through might have gone with something a little more expensive from the start...

  • haf meet cm90 lmao

  • Looks a lot like the CM 690 II

  • i would of liked the window but please do a review on the 500R as well please

  • beautiful chace ! gratz !

  • What are these millimeters you speak of?

  • one of the ugliest cases i've ever seen

  • In my country it's 113€ :(

  • @NOXXism Thats what I h8 about EU, either the price is same as it is in dollars 100$-100€ or more and 100 euros is like 140 $. We're screwed...

  • @BattlefieldSF I wish I lived in the US... Probably I would have a better rig by now...

  • This guys voice is annoying....

  • People have been complaining about this new guy in over 4 videos, we get it know! So please shut up!

  • i wish that front panel firewire wasnt there .. my 650d has it, luckily i can hide it behind the cover

  • It's Dimitry49 xD

  • with the EASILY removable dust filters, Id rate this BETTER than the Cm690 2 Adv. tbh, alot of the 690 2 was made out of after thought, the front filter is agony to clean, the PSU filter requires you to remove the PSU to clean that.. and the TOP filter is a pita to clean too, I wouldnt buy a 690 2 again if i had the money, id look into something else

  • There is no out-sourcing going on here in any way. The "old guy" decided to get on with other plans in his life and we're now using Dimitry. The content hasn't changed in any way since the scripts are still pretty much the same. The only difference now is that the reviews can be finished in 7 days instead of 7 weeks. To the watchers of our Youtube channel, this means the same quality along with the quantity everyone was asking for. :) :)

  • all cases except antec suck

  • @Koldness99 your posting rights should be removed...

  • @Koldness99 Yes You're right. All Antec cases suck. That's what you meant right? Cooler Master has been making better cases that cost less for the past several years. Antec has fallen behind if you ask me. They make a few nice cases but wow did they ever drop the ball so many times on cases like the Nine Hundred with shitty wire management and HD bays that take 10 years to change a HD. There are a lot of brands who make nicer cases. Seriously a PC case fanboy... wow now I've seen it all.

  • @MN12BIRD Have you ever owned an antec case? I have one and I wouldn't trade it for nothing. It's the best performer I have ever seen and it has everything I could possibly need. So stop trollin

  • Comment removed

  • @MN12BIRD That wasn't me LOL! You replied to another troll

  • @MN12BIRD yep that explains why antec cases sell the most and have the highest satisfaction ratings

    dumbass

  • @Koldness99 OMFG You're miss understanding my point. I've never said Antec sucks. I only said that above as a sarcastic response to you saying everything else sucks! I've owned 3 Antec cases over the years and I liked them all! They also have great Power Supplies. I know this. My point was simply that there are MANY great cases out there from MANY great brands. There are many cases I would pick over a current Antec but that doesn't mean I think Antec sucks!  I like Antec just fine thanks.

  • @MN12BIRD congratz you just wrote a short essay responding to my troll post

    cuz i really gave a shit

  • This is the first Corsair case that I don't really like. I'm pretty much set on the 650D right now.

  • the cooling in this case is awesome, capable of installing 8 fans!

    great job Corsair <3

  • STFU, that guy's voice does the job fine.

    As far as this case goes: DAMN, i want one :D

  • @drmanian that heavy accent.

  • @drmanian We know he's good, we just miss the old guy :)

  • @drmanian This is just a coolermaster 690 II ripoff

  • lancool K62 is still the champ in this price range, sorry

  • @c0dead Yeah Lancool has some REALLY nice cases without paying that Lian Li premium.

  • @thedingdoeatyourbaby fyi, for all you guys wondering about the old guy (FixT), he PM'ed me awhile ago, I thought he would comment on one of these videos but he didnt. Basically he got laid off by the company that owns HWC and they hired this guy who works for free so they could make more money. oh and def wait for the 500R its goina be the shiz

  • I'm sorry but Corsair has some ugly ass cases. i like the voice of the guy that did the review for the PC-K62.

  • I'm happy I didn't wait getting my 600T. I like this one but I love my 600T much better. I wish I could find a USB 3.0 motherboard front panel header cable though :(

  • Very nice case Corsair; Looking forward to the 500R review. :)

  • @radiovan1 We're currently looking into doing a 500R review. Up next will be a BitFenix Shinobi followed by another Lian Li and possibly a Silverstone. Dimitry will also start doing some feature videos (not in depth reviews, for those, go to our site) that show off some interesting water coolers and some custom cooled graphics cards. He'll be a very busy guy and this channel will get some much-needed life. :)

  • @SKYMTL Well, Dimitry is doing a fine job, so I am looking forward to all the reviews HWC can throw our way - never mind the nay-sayers.

  • I am a owner of the 800D but I have to say Corsair have ever since their first case not made any case that have impressed me, their midtower version of the obsidian series for example 650D is very cluttered, why couldn´t they made it look as sleek as the 800D, I know the case have to have a fan in the front but couldn´t they make vent holes at the side instead? And why have those doorpanel opener at the sides? Looks buttugly. And this Carbide 400R, looks like a coolermaster ripoff.

  • Xigmatek Elysium review!

    When?

  • Yay a new video! :)

  • Where's the old guy? I liked his voice

  • @thedingdoeatyourbaby new voice isn't too bad

  • @thedingdoeatyourbaby the old guy was downsized!  they decided to outsourced the videos. I miss the old guy too. he was just so smooooth.

  • @thedingdoeatyourbaby Me too. This guy is hurting my ears.

  • very nicely done. strongly considering this but may i ask when are yall if at all doing the 500r case?
