The Corsair Carbide Air 540 sets your idea of what a computer case should look like on edge. This is a bold step for Corsair, and they have done it with near perfect execution. The quality is top notch, which is certainly no surprise from Corsair. The fit...
Abstract: Corsair’s Carbide AIR 540 is a unique case. It uses a distinctive dual chamber design which not only saves vertical space, improves airflow and houses large E-ATX motherboards....
Now I know there are a couple other companies that make cases that flow a similar concept. The two I can think of are from companies that will charge you extreme amounts of money for them as well. That being said, this is the first version of anything...
Unique dual chamber design, Largely toolfree operation, Spacious internals, Good build quality, Excellent airflow in main chamber
Secondary chamber has little ventilation, Inadequate 3.5inch drive bays, Occupies large footprint, tougher to position, Lack of handles or wheels, harder to transport, Installing front bay monitoring panels not ideal

Qualité de fabrication, Management des câbles côté configuration, Baies 3.5" hotswap, Bon refroidissement, Un peu d'innovation !
Vibrations des HDD, Deux emplacements 3.5" seulement, Espace perdu côté alimentation, Manque d'isolation / Bruit à 12V, Unique filtre a poussière
Nous voici au terme de cette entrevue. Le Carbide Air 540 est un boitier qui bénéficie du savoir-faire de Corsair. Bien assemblé, à la finition sans faute, il ne souffre d'aucune faiblesse sur ce plan. Nous pouvons simplement reprocher à Corsair d'avoir u...
