Had Potential

Corsair, Graphite Series 230T Windowed Compact Mid-Tower Case, CC-9011042-WW
Corsair, Graphite Series 230T Windowed Compact Mid-Tower Case, CC-9011042-WW

Pros: Enjoyed the visual design, lots of space for excellent cooling options, CPU cut-out and drive bays were a plus.

Cons: No connection for PC speaker, Drive bays are probably a few more crammed in than I could use for the size of the case. QC should not have passed this with the problematic MB mounting caster. Specifically, one of the MB mounting screw casters had a headless screw left inside. I can only imagine this would have caused serious problems for any board installed. Pliers cannot take this out, the caster itself is fused to the backplate so there's no conventional way to replace it. I may just cannibalize the fans, which were what attracted me to it in the first place, as it's now past RMA and I'd rather not deal with Corsair just to trade for another of the same.

Overall Review: Mainly it's been an issue of finding out too long after purchase that it's not exactly for me, but the spike in place of a proper mounting job has really turned me off of this brand as far as cases go. Of course, I've read reviews for little flaws like this for just about every board on the market, but this is my story.
