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

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!

Pros: This case is great.No problems what so ever installing everything.Cable management is great, air flow is great, and the USB 3.0 slots in the front are a big plus at this price point.I love the bold and black look it has.It also has a dust screen on bottom and the side ducts on front have good air flow through them.I am a big fan of this design.I honestly love the overall simplicity of this case. I would definitely recommend it to anybody.

Cons: None what so ever.

Pros: Great case and good cable management. I really like this case than my NZXT Gamma. It has more cable management and airflow.

Cons: N/A

Pros: -Very roomy, allowing for great airflow and easy installation and expansion.

-Professional look and design, one of my main factors in buying this case is that it doesn't look like it came out of a cereal box.

-Like the title says, the 200R is just an amazing case for first time builders all-around.

Cons: -I got it for around $45 back in January, after promos; given the choice again, I probably would get something else at the current $70 price point.

Other Thoughts: -Really nothing else to say about this case. Affordable and supports some of the current/cutting edge technology, while also being a very beginner friendly case.

Pros: I purchased this case to build a computer system that could handle running two Operating Systems at the same time. When I took it out of the box, it felt very sturdy and well built. This is the second computer case purchased and it is by far the best one. The first thing I noticed is how easy it is, when you need to get to the internal components, to remove and reinstall the side panel. The computer case I currently own, I struggle with aligning the side panel when reinstalling. I like that there are no sharp edges on the inside of the case. So, you don't have to worry about cutting your hands. There are plenty of expansion slots to add additional hardware when needed. I like the rubber grommets included with the case to help reduce vibration and noise for the fans. The two 120mm fans and the inlet dust screens are a plus to help keep the case cool and the dust to a minimum. Having the front USB, headphone and microphone ports located on the top of the case make it easy to plug in these devices.

Cons: The only downfall to this case is the fact I could not lock the harddrive in place. The locking are is too short to reach the middle screw hole of the hard drive. Fix this and I would have no complaints.

Pros: Nice case, very nice bang for my buck.

Cons: Cons? Maybe another dust fan? but with this price it doesn't matter...
