Customer Ratings & Reviews

In the process of changing out my computer case, since my old one broke, this one was perfect, because everything fit, and it was fairly easy to assemble. The RGB was amazing. There was one thing, though, and I wish the PSU box was either bigger, or they made the hole connecting it with the motherboard bigger.

My son and I went to Best Buy to find a new case for my computer case. We had one in mind, but found this one. He knows quite a bit and has built his own impressive PC. The case is great, love the look, the fans and the size. Zero complaints. My son now wants my fans out of it ;)

I have a very mixed feeling about this case. Visually, it looks amazing. The fans have great RGB and they retail for $80, and the case comes with them for only $30 more. I like the small form factor of the case, even though it is an ATX, it is on the smaller side, so you only have around 2 inches of space on the right side of the motherboard. However, after using it for around 2 weeks, here are my thoughts. The first con is the fans. They produce some noise when running, and it can definitely get annoying. Since it costs $80 to get three more, I sold the fans that came with the case to get 6 off brand fans. The major con, however, is the amount of space there is on the backside for cables. I am not even joking, the space is 1 inch wide. It is EXTREMELY difficult to close the backside if there is a lot of cables, and I really really wish there was more space. That is the only thing holding this case back from being 5 stars. If you are patient and have some muscle to close the case, then I recommend it because it still looks awesome.

Was able to fit all my drives, a triple fan water cooler and a 2080 gigabyte trio fan super

The product overview on Corsair's website made this look like quite a good case, and my initial impressions taking it out of the box were the same. However, as I began assembling my build, its deficiencies started to show; while mild and can be remedied with some sacrifices, are still a headache and infuriating. The biggest issue I have with this case is that despite having listed H150i 360mm AIO coolers as compatible, you CAN'T actually fit the H150i ELITE CAPELLIX into this case without drilling a hole into the front mounting panel. The screw holes don't line up. Whether this is the CAPELLIX being too tall or the case being too short, whatever the reason, if you try fitting the CAPELLIX into the front, the top will push against the internal plastic housing for the front panel IO ports, and the bottom screw holes will not line up, covered by the metal front frame. You can still mount 10/12 screw holes, but the bottom 2 are quite important for security, stability, and acoustics. I left the bottom 2 screws open because I figured it wouldn't hurt that much, but boy was I wrong. It seems like the front vibrates or something, but there's an annoying sound that comes from it and I suspect it is because the bottom 2 screws are not screwed in and there's a tiny gap between the bottom of the rad and the front mounting panel causing some air turbulence. The second biggest issue with this case is that the motherboard mounting holes are not machined with high enough tolerances, or maybe I just got a faulty case, which I wouldn't be surprised at this point...I tried for over 30min to properly fit my ASUS Z490 STRIX-E into this case, but the stands on the case wouldn't match with the motherboard holes. It turns out, after closer inspection, that this case actually comes with 2 notched stands (middle-center and top-center), and 7 normal stands. Typically, ATX cases have the middle-center screw for the MOBO being a notched stand, and 8 normal stands. Corsair for whatever reason decided to use 2 notched stands, and this causes compatibility issues with some MOBOs. It is impossible to mount the STRIX MOBO to the case without damaging the MOBO or having it be uncomfortably flexed, since you can't get the middle-center and top-center notches to align and seat with the MOBO properly and still have the integrated back IO shield plate snug against the case. My solution was to remove the top-center notched stand and replace it with the bottom-right normal stand. It still required a a bit of pushing, but I was able to finally seat the MOBO properly on all the stands. To an experienced PC builder this is no problem, but for someone with less experience or a first time builder this decision baffles me. A less experienced builder would try and force the MOBO to seat properly, or try to screw down the MOBO without having the notched stands lined up, causing damage to the MOBO directly or through flexing. Using two notched stands just causes the customer more work, introduces extra compatibility issues, and doesn't even offer more security for the MOBO mounting. One notched stand is already enough to ensure the MOBO doesn't move around after screwing in all 9 ATX screws. The purpose of the notched stand is to act as a guide so that the MOBO doesn't move around while you are screwing in the other screws, it doesn't actually hold up the MOBO to the case...so there's zero reason for having 2. Corsair has been making cases for a while, so you'd think they would understand the purpose of a notched stand, so this probably indicates that I received a faulty case, or someone while assembling the case accidently included an extra notched stand instead of a non-notched stand. In one case this is a design flaw, in the other case, this is bad quality control. Frustrating either way. Corsair also doesn't include an extra stand so you can replace the notched ones with non-notched ones...it does have this tiny stand that isn't the same size as the others so that's also out. Another issue is with the HDD cage. This is a small design flaw if you plan on using HDD with a 360mm AIO cooler. The bottom fan of a 360mm AIO will blow hot air DIRECTLY into your HDD cage. Your drives can get hotter over time, and while not hot enough to cause malfunctions, isn't a good thing for your drives' longevity or stability either. Corsair could have fixed this by removing the holes in the HDD cage that opens up to the front, or offered rubber plugs to plug up those holes on the HDD cage if you do plan on using a 360mm AIO. The last issue is more of a complaint or design decision. It seems Corsair focused more of the budget on the RGB lighting for this case than actual performance. You get a RGB hub, which is nice, but no fan hub. You are required to buy an additional fan controller or fan splitter in order to get the included three SP120 fans to actually spin, if your MOBO doesn't have the necessary amount of fan headers. Corsair could have easily included a fan hub, or integrated the fan hub with the current RGB hub, or heck, included a 2 dollar fan splitter cable. Just a mild inconvenience for the customer that could have easily been remedied. This is still a good aesthetically looking case from Corsair, its just that the small things add up and leave a sour taste in the end. Let's see if Art responds to this...

Very solid case cable management was very easy had numerous openings and areas for more fans. Love everything about this case except that it wont fit a standard ATX PSU due to the included hard drive bay which is unfortunate because the HD bay is very nice. Easily unscrewable though and fit just fine without the HD bay so dont worry if you have an ATX PSU.

Overall good case. Just wasnt happy with the size. Please check to see if this case will fit the components you are planning on using. This is the problem I ran into with gpu size restrictions because I had to front mount my aio. Will be returning for a Corsair 5000D for this reason.

Very good PC case I think for the money. You can spend hundreds on these but you don't need to with this one. You get some quality fans and a real steal faceplate too. The effect for the amount that this case costs is a no brainer to pick up if you like the style.

It has very good air flow, the fans are a bit noisy but overall it is very good. The only bad thing is that due to the dimensions there probably won't fit a 3-fan gpu or a liquid cooling system on top with very large ram memories

Overall good case but to fit a big 850 power supply and cables was a nightmare you will have to take out your HDD rack led fans are nice a little noisy but not a big deal if wearing headphones or normal operation under stress like games full speed really noisy

If you don't already have an RGB setup from Corsair, this gets you into the game for pennies on the dollar. Three fans and controller will run you a minimum of $70 at retail. Essentially you end up with a smoking awesome case for $30!!! HUGE Value here...

Best case sold at Best Buy for this price! You are getting $200 worth of stuff including The case and the cooling system for just 99.99 or 79.99 and that is definitely worth the money!! And cable management is super simple and there’s tons of room in the case

Love this case, awesome airflow. Here are the negatives, you can only fit a max gpu length of 300mm. Top mounting an AIO you need low profile ram, as Corsair didn’t take this under consideration with the motherboard placement. Cable management space is not that great. Other than those few things, I highly recommend it.

Good quality build. It worked perfect out of box. Be careful with gpu length. If card is to long you will have issues with front radiator and fans. I had to switch cases due to length space. Great case tho.

It is a metal case with fans and lights. It looks cool when you power it up. Lot's of fun moving your motherboard and components from prior metal box to this fancy metal box. Disco in my room now. Don't be like me, read the manual so you know what to connect and make sure you have proper tools or it will take longer.

Overall, I am very pleased with the performance and features that this case has to offer. Removing the panels and dust filters are easy so troubleshooting components and occasional cleaning isn't too much of a pain. The small form factor is also nice as it doesn't take up too much of my desk. However, there a few things to consider before buying: - The biggest AIO you can mount is 240mm, and depending on how tall your ram and vrm cooling solution is, your only choice may be to mount it to the front, unless you don't mind putting fans outside the top of the case. - And depending on how tall your radiator is, the top might have clearance issues with the front io pcb. - If you have a bigger power supply, you'll have to remove the hdd mounting bracket to make room for the cables, placing your hard drive very close to the bottom front fan. - As the metal side panel lies very close to the cable area, there isn't much room for cable management, and you'll probably have a nest under the shroud visible from the glass. These issues were pretty specific to my components, so I would still recommend this case.

I had to replace my girlfriends case on her PC after i was cleaning it and accidentally broke the glass on it. But she loves this one and it was 100% easier to build in it. the room in there made it easier to install what was needed.

Quality construction and ease of use. Easy cable-management. The front plate is sturdy metal btw. I originally thought it was plastic based on the pics. Bought the iCUE fan set and the back and top fans hook right up to the existing lighting node and work flawlessly.

Such a great case, building is easy, there’s tons of room for my 5500xt GPU, two 2.5 SSDs and goodies. I will say if you’re doing a beefier build, it can get cramped in there. But a simple build for all AAA titles works great in this case.

My daughter picked out this case for her PC and she loves it. the iCue system makes making chages to color profiles very easy and it overall a cool looking case. Very tight fit if you add an AIO, but overall, great case!!!
