Carbide 275R

-

CORSAIR $129 The best budget PC case. One of Corsair’s newest cases, the Carbide 275R might just be the ultimate minimalist’s case. Aside from a small ‘sail’ logo on the front panel, the 275R ditches additional branding for the sake of a clean design for the style-obsessed. While the design may be minimal, the functional­ity is anything but.

Unlike NZXT’s minimal S340, the Carbide 275R can support a 360mm radiator in the front and up to six 120mm fans. With a modest price tag, the 275R is a great case for beginners as well as advanced users looking to create a sleek custom loop.

Painted black to match the exterior, the interior of the Carbide 275R is rather spacious for a mid-tower ATX case. There are two large cable pass-through holes with rubber grommets in the motherboar­d tray and one in the top of the PSU tunnel. The hole at the upper left hand edge of the motherboar­d tray is specifical­ly designed for routing fan cables and the ATX12V/ EPS12V power cable.

Minimal branding Full-length dust filters
