Corsair Carbide Series 500R Case Review
I've said this before, but I am going to say it again...Corsair has really made a name for themselves over the past few years. Not that long ago we only knew them for memory and now they are a top name when it comes to power supplies, cases and gaming accessories. Their entry into the case market was great and every Corsair case that I've reviewed I've enjoyed. There really has not been much I have not liked about Corsair cases. They have unique designs, good cooling and none of the unneeded crap we find on so many other cases. Today we are taking a look at the top case in their Carbide Series the Carbide 500R. This mid tower case features a sleek design, 4 included fans, USB 3.0 and 2.5-inch hard drive support, a fan controller and much more. Did I mention this case has a MSRP of $129.99. The Carbide 500R comes in Corsair's typical packaging. On the front there is a listing of some of the main features of the case. On the back there is an entire breakdown of the case. Opening the case up it is protected by large pieces of styrofoam and a plastic bag.
Corsair Carbide Series 500R White review
Corsair has become known for some brilliant PC cases recently, and the Corsair Carbide Series 500R White is aiming to become another one.We've tried connecting up components and trying to run them without a case, but it only makes the carpet smell funny. That burning component smell really gets the back of your throat, so what luck there are literally trillions of cuboid metal homes for your gear that'll keep them safe! Corsair's Carbide Series 500R White is just one such case, and you should care because a) Corsair makes high-quality cases, and b) this one's fairly cheap. Styled after the Corsair Graphite Series 600T chassis with a bit of the Obsidian 700D's angular form thrown in, this Carbide Series 500R includes four fans, six drive bays, a backplate with cable management and holes and rear CPU cooler access, and a sturdy steel build. It appears legit, but are you in danger of being jipped by purchasing this sub-£100 case? We found no corners cut, no shoddy build quality (other than the usual slightly flimsy plastic drive bays, but what are those drives going to be doing in there, greco-roman wrestling?) and no missing features you'd expect from a mid-price case.
Corsair 500R Mid-Tower Case Review
Where you decide your hardware gets to live can say a lot about any build. A case with a huge window means you likely want to show off that $400 GPU you have sitting inside, otherwise it goes unnoticed. Others of you close it up tight; you don't want anyone to know what you have inside, perhaps because it's so good and that's where your \"extreme” gaming abilities come from, or it's so bad that you're ashamed of your own hardware. Others of us just like a nice looking case, whether it shows off what's inside of it or not. It's all about looking awesome. Another member of the Carbide series from Corsair has shown up! After we reviewed the Corsair 400R about a month back, Corsair made their 500R release. However, the increase in model number doesn't correspond to an increase in price; the 500R comes priced right at $139.99 retail. It comes styling in either black or white in color, ready to fit with whatever theme you have going. Today we'll take a look at the Corsair 500R White Edition and we'll see how this chassis stacks up compared to some other cases on the market. No surprise, the Corsair 500R showed up in a box on my doorstep.
