Corsair Carbide Series 200R Black Steel / Plastic compact ATX Mid Tower Case

Pros: Great case for the money. Tooless design works well. Two high quality 120mm fans included. For a low end case it is built well. Nice minimalistic design that I was looking for. Bottom PSU mounting location with fan filter to keep PSU clean.

Cons: My only two complaints are that the front bezel is a little flimsy and cheaper looking than what I expected from Corsair, but it works well. Second, I was hoping for more room for air flow underneath the case to allow the PSU's bottom mounted fan to suck more air. The space seems a little tight for optimal air flow.

Other Thoughts: I gave five eggs because the case is a great low end case for the money. If you want extra's for a high end build, then you need to spend what it takes to own a high end case. Don't knock a product that is supposed to be low end from the start. It has everything, pros and cons, that you might expect for a case in this price range. The cons I complained of were things that I would have only been aware of if I were able to inspect the case in person before buying, not Newegg's fault.

Pros: Nice ventilation and good cable management. Every thing mounted very easy with lots of room.

Cons: At this price point I can see not including a USB 3.0 to 2.0 cable adapter. Not everyone needs one and they can be had for $10. The thing that boggles my mind is no case speaker. Everyone needs a speaker for the audio post confirmation and error codes.

Other Thoughts: This is one of the nicest cases I have ever worked with. It would be a solid 5 stars but for the speaker. You can get a speaker on online for about $4 delivered.

Pros: Over all- really good case. Lots of room, plenty for drive bays, and well built.

Cons: Cloud be fitted with 1 or 2 additional fans

Pros: Roomy, configurable, cable management options, cooling options, good looking, feature rich for the bucks.

Cons: Side panels can bend easily so not too much force. Space behind motherboard is good but not great...see first statement.

Other Thoughts: Come'on you can't expect 800D spec's for this pricing but what you get will blow you away. Clean, simple form follows function......nice! Get this for a project down the road or a budget build now, you'll be floored at how it perfroms and looks many stations above it's class!

Pros: Plenty of room for ATX motherboard (ASUS P8Z77-V LE).

The motherboard standoffs were already installed. The center-of-the-motherboard mounting post in lieu of a regular standoff worked very well. Nice idea.

Lots of cutouts and good room behind the motherboard for cable management.

2xUSB-3 ports on the front.

Cables from front panel USB/mic/headphone/power/reset switches are long enough.

Honeycomb grating on the top, bottom, and left side provide lots of mount points for extra fans, if needed.

The bottom has a filter under the power supply.

For the price, this is a great case.

Cons: 3.5" drive bays need some sort of cushioning for the HDDs. The tool-less idea is easy to use, but it transfers the vibration to the metal frame.

Other Thoughts: I've been buying Fractal and Antec cases for years. If the rest of the Corsair Carbide series of cases is like this, I may be making a permanent switch.

Pros: Very Sleek, minimal design elements. i loved being able to take both side panels off to route the cables behind the MOBO. plenty of storage for 5.25, (though i'm not using any of them, i think it would detract from the beautiful front of the case) 3.5, and 2.5. more room than i wanted, (i'd love an mATX) but i needed something that would give me SLI capability.

right now i have it sitting behind my monitor, which i think is pretty cool.

Cons: i will probably cover the bottom middle fan port, and the two top fan ports, if it doesn't cause heating issues. i am worried about dropping food/drink down into it, and having copious amounts of dust sucked in through the bottom.

Pros: - Cheap. Got it for $60 and coming from Corsair, that's pretty good.
- Relatively spacious for my Asus 7850 and Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo.
- Front panel audio ports. Why does this matter? I have a stereo receiver set up with my laptop (old Toshiba satellite) and the audio cord always gets somewhat unplugged and makes a lot of disturbing noise. My point being, the audio ports get a good grip and won't let the cord go without using force. Just a little thing I like, not too important.
- SSD cage. It's nice that Corsair includes this because it expands your HDD space, seeing as how you won't need a bay for your SSD. And, there's 4 slots for SSD's
- Tool less design. As Corsair says, "The only time you'll need a screwdriver, is when you need to install the motherboard." I don't want to call this a lie, but you may need a Phillips head to remove the 5.25" covers. They're kind of a pain. More pro than con for it's well designed HDD and SSD cage. You can also screw them in if necessary, but not entirely needed.
- Front panel USB 3.0, is a must on modern cases.

Cons: - Slight wobble on feet. I suppose you could just put some black paper underneath, to fix it and so it won't be noticeable, but to me, this is a sign of lack of care in the build process.
- Mine had a scuff on the front. not too big, but bugs me a little knowing it's there.
- Front panel grille. Or lack thereof. The front doesn't have a full grille, but a flat surface and mesh on the sides for airflow. The reason this is a con is because of the airflow, also lack thereof. At least the 900D has a shroud to improve airflow. And, the dust filter isn't removable, which I would have liked to have.
- No side panel window. Also more of a personal preference, but not worth an egg.

Other Thoughts: Overall, This case is pretty solid for a budget builder looking for a sleek look without breaking the bank, and sacrificing features. The thing that made me knock off an egg was a combination of the lack of care put into this case, but for the price, you can't complain much.

Pros: Very clean looking, good cable management, front usb3.0, smart design, plenty of space

Cons: Would like more front USB ports, but honestly, this is not really a con as I do like the two front 3.0 ports.

Other Thoughts: This is my first Corsair case and I was actually really impressed. It's a very smart design with slide in 2.5" slots for SSDs, easy slide in slots for 3.5" storage drives, and very clean look all around. There was plenty of room for cable management and easily fit a Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo cooler. Also, 2 chassis fans are 3 pin which is nice because you can plug into your motherboard and control speeds vs many case fans that are just molex which default to full on all the time. Case is a great compact mid tower case and an excellent deal when on sale. I'll definitely use this case again.

Pros: -USB 3.0 on the front, you don't see that in a whole lot of cases these days
- two corsair fans, run perfect and quiet
- expanded area for extra long graphics cards
- huge cutout behind mobo
- insanely easy bays for all drives
- AMAZING case, Corsair quality, what can I say??

Cons: Wish the front panel wasn't plastic, and there are only grills on the sides for air intake in the front, and no space to put a second fan. But I'm just going to put in a high efficient fan in the front so it should be good.

Other Thoughts: Shipping was fast, ordered a late Thursday night and received the following Monday. Had a gash in the side of package but I'm sure that's not Newegg's fault.

Pros: Price to value. If you're not building a beast or taking it cruising to show off your rod, this is the case for you. Water cooled, monster video card...I forget how many fans but my spare fan box is noticeably low. She may not be the hot chick but she's got skills.

Cons: For the price, NONE!
