This review is from: Corsair Carbide Series 500R Arctic White Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Gaming Case
Pros:
Almost perfect design
Nice looks, not too flashy
Good cable management
Sturdy build
Sexy white. Reminds me of a stormtrooper.
Cons:
Grating/filtering makes the lighting look a little weird
Grating instead of window on the side panel
Overall Review:
I've built many computers over the years and this case is one of my all-time favorite designs. I was looking at some more expensive cases that had the features I needed, but I would have been paying another hundred dollars for looks alone. This case is still beautiful (though it could use a window for the side instead of a grating) and it has awesome cable management.
For this new computer build, I had intended to use an old Gigabyte 3D Aurora case that I wasn't using. I had installed the motherboard and was in the process of installing a Thermaltake Water 2.0 Pro radiator and fan assembly when, after about an hour of messing with it, I realized could not fit in that case due to the design of the tool-less expansion bay. I searched through all kinds of cases, reading reviews and staring intently at the region between the rear 120mm case fans and the expansion slots of each case. After my thorough search, I found this wonderful case and it has definitely exceeded my expectations.
