Lack of dust filter/cover on the left side panel and on top optional fan mounting areas,
The Carbide 400R is the most economical chassis from Corsair’s line but it is every bit as impressive as its premium priced siblings. For a steel chassis, the Carbide 400R is surprisingly light in weight and svelte-looking externally but spacious and r...
Affordability meets quality, Supports future technologies, Sleek and stylish, Great cable management, Great cooling support
None that I found
While the Corsair Carbide 400R is one of the cheapest cases put out by Corsair, it’s certainly a high quality one. Then again, I wouldn’t really think of this case as a budget case, but rather an upgraded budget case, with a $99.99 price tag. There are...

The Corsair Carbide 400R gets a gold star for being the easiest case I've had the pleasure of working with thus far. The cable management is truly top notch, and ample interior room is available to accommodate most hardware configurations. The overall qu...
Value for money, USB3/USB2adapter, Plenty of optional cooling
Dust filter removable through the back, No dust filter on the front, Lots of open fan holes with no filters
The Carbide series is yet another product area for Corsair to conquer, the price of the 400R sits at the 100 dollar mark, and also in Finland you can get the case for roughly hundred euros. Looking at the specifications and feature Corsair hasn't real...
The Corsair Carbide Series 400R is a success for Corsair, as it delivers good cooling performance at a reasonable price point. There's also plenty of cooling flexibility built in, thanks to the myriad fan mounts, as well as plenty of useful features such...
Fully painted interior, Fully toolless design, Excellent cable management, Native SuperSpeed USB support, with adapter cable for older motherboards, Eight card slots, Excellent value for price,
Supplied fan mounting screws are useless, No mounting for 3.5" bay devices, Top radiator mount really only for Corsair's H100 cooler

First off, let me say that I started out as a budget builder. I'll always have a soft spot for lower priced components that provide as much performance or functionality as those in a higher price range. I still use an overclocked i3-530 in my personal...
Abstract: Corsair started their enclosure business from the top of the market and worked their way down. Their first case was an expensive black monolith, the Obsidian 800D, popular for watercooling setups but less so for air. They fired a shrink ray at it an...
All of Corsair's cases are acclaimed for their included features, support, expansion and functionally, so it should come as little surprise that the 400R is yet another excellent case from Corsair that succeeds on all fronts. Starting with the exterior...
Excellent engineering quality, Excellent paint job, Great price/performance, Great external looks, Very well thought out internals, New and unique locking mechanism for ODDs, Excellent cable management possibilities, Plenty of space for water cooling, Spa
Openings on top and side will allow noise to escape the system, Dust can easily enter the system, Round and edgy design combination may not be for everyone
Corsair already has gained an excellent reputation for their cases in a considerably short time frame. With all of their cases occupying the higher end segments, the Carbide 400R is coming down below the magical (yes I said it) 100 USD barrier. While y...
