The editors didn't like

It doesn't surprise us that our first case review of 2016 comes by way of Corsair – this brand is never idle when it comes to product development and since CES is just around the corner, we can expect more than just a few new product announcements over th...

Corsair has got most of the big parts of Carbide 400Q bang on the money. We like the slink form factor and pair of factory fitted fans, and the stealth drive bays in the floor of the case are good to see. We have no problem with the absence of an optical...

With the Carbide 400Q, Corsair wanted to create a compact and elegant case that also offers good thermal performance and very low noise levels, all for a reasonable price tag. These are just too many eggs for one basket and a single design cannot possibly...
Great construction quality, Simple but clean interior layout, Excellent compatibility, Excellent 2.5" drive bay engineering, Shroud to cover PSU and 3.5" HDDs, Excellent cable-management possibilities, All drive bays are hidden from view, Two retail fans
Space for just two 3.5" drives, No possibility to lock windowed side panel on the 400C variant
The Corsair Carbide 400Q clocks in at 100 US dollars without taxes or 100 euro including taxes. Great construction quality Simple but clean interior layout Excellent compatibility Excellent 2.5" drive bay engineering Shroud to cover PSU and 3.5" HDDs Exce...
Relatively small footprint, Can support any length graphics card, Sound dampening, USB 3.0 front panel, Toolless drive cages, Positive pressure design, Multiradiator support, Attractive design, Abundance of fan/radiator mount locations, Unobstructed airfl
No grommets at the top of the motherboard, 2.5″ HDD/SSD trays are 1 unit instead of 3 separate units, Front cover release tabs are tight and finicky when reattaching, PSU cover has to be removed to install PSU (not a big deal, minor annoyance), Price (com
This case is very similar to the Fractal Design Define S, with some very notable exceptions. The Corsair Carbide Quiet 400Q is smaller, in almost every way. The overall dimensions, the interior layout, as well as the vents and case feet are quite differen...

While not the perfect case (few are), we were pleased overall with the Corsair Carbide 400C case as the list of bravos exceeded the boos by a fair margin. Starting with the positives, we have a great looking case both inside and out with smooth edges and...
The new Corsair Carbide 400C and Q versions are not a revolution in chassis design, yet they do offer an incremental upgrade in the evolution of Corsair Carbide chassis series. For a reasonably amount of money you'll receive a nice compact chassis that c...

Clean, minimalist design should appeal to most. Ample space for highend hardware and plenty of airflow. Quiet, compact and lightweight. Comes in a windowed version with more options for top mounted fans.
At $100, there isn't much to complain about here. Perhaps more flexible storage options, though we feel that two 3.5" drives and three 2.5" drives will be enough for most.
To ensure accurate thermal results, we installed the same hardware in each case in virtually the same way. Components included the Asrock Fatal1ty 990FX Professional , Phenom II X6 1100T , Prolimatech Megahalems in passive mode (i.e. no fan actively dispe...
Last month the Carbide 600 series went on sale for $150, which is a tad expensive for a mid-tower case, though its build quality and design was second to none. The Carbide 400 series is every bit as capable and while the build quality is still excellent...
