Side panels could be stronger
Lack of 5.25″ drive bays will annoy some consumers
Poor support for large CPU coolers such as Noctua NHD15 etc (only max of 130mm clearance but it will be tight)
The Air 240 is slightly too short to accommodate a 12inch graphics card with a 240mm radiator at the front
No optical drive bay
Restricted to MicroATX or MiniITX components
The compact nature of the Air 240 makes the PC build laborious
Corsair has delivered something novel with the Air 240. This case takes up no more space than the Mini-ITX-only Graphite Series 380T, but its boxier design offers room for bigger motherboards and more expansion cards. The Air 240 is also $50-60 cheaper t...
Corsair has delivered again dear reader, the bold claims mentioned on the first page can only be confirmed after assembly and the temperature evaluation. The Carbide 240 AIR is first of all a solid performer in the cooling department, being able to match ...

Near-midtower capacity in an SFF design. Six tool-less drive bays. Excellent cable-management. Large side window. Excellent ventilation.
Poor machining on some thumbscrew holes. Questionable sideways orientation design. Not enough room for two cooling radiators and two graphics cards simultaneously
The Corsair Carbide Air 240 is a small-form-factor (SFF) chassis made for performance PCs. It has multiple vents for cooling and plenty of expansion room for the Mini-ITX or MicroATX gaming rig you're thinking about building yourself....

When looking to build a mATX or mITX system, there are plenty of options to choose from. Nearly every case manufacturer has cases for these smaller motherboards. So after narrowing it down to a few cases, why should the Corsair Carbide Air 240 be the fina...
Six tool-less drive bays, Excellent cable-management features, Near-midtower capacity in a cube design, Jumbo side window
Poor machining on some thumbscrew holes, Questionable sideways orientation design, Promotion of two-radiator capability when only one is practical
An eye-catching, clever compact PC case, the Carbide Air 240 is built to take plenty of drives, full-length video cards, and loads of cooling for Mini-ITX and MicroATX builds. Read More…...
Abstract: In the late 1800s, the first hearing aid was handheld and the batteries were large enough to fill a small purse, but today we have digital hearing aids that are nearly invisible. Back in the 70′s, Motorola developed the “brick” mobile phone, but today we ...

Aesthetically, the Carbide Air 240 is certainly eye-catching and very well designed. We cannot really claim that it is a unique case, both because many cubic cases are available and because it is based on the same external design as the Carbide Air 540, a...

Abstract: Available in both black and white (with UV resistant paint), the $89/99 case fits both Mini-ITX and Micro-ATX motherboards allowing quite a bit of component flexibility.A quick look at the front of the case shows the cube-like shape that both the Air 540 ...
The Carbide Air 240 from Corsair is a lovely product. It looks nice and comes with features that you typically only find starting at the more high-end mid-towers. Next to that the build quality is rather good as well. You are of course restricted to a sm...
Very compact, Excellent construction quality, Can be used in three different configurations—standard, upside down, or on its side, Ships with three 120 mm retail fans out of the box, Space for up to six hard drives, Ability to hold up to 240 mm radiator w
Not a lot of height for air coolers—120 mm at most, Only one set of feet—once you decide where to place them, that is it, No way for USB 2.0-only motherboard to use the front I/O, No external drive bay, Basic I/O
The Corsair Carbide Air 240 sells for 89 US dollars for the black- and 99 US dollars for the white version. Buyers in the EU should see it priced at either 70 pounds or 85 euros including taxes. Very compact Excellent construction quality Can be used in t...
