Looking back through Corsair's history of cases, I have yet to be disappointed with any of them. I had their flagship on my desk for over two years, and it just recently got replaced. I also have the currently in use, and it was the case that sold m...
Abstract: Today, I unbox and overview for you the Corsair Carbide 500r Case ! While we know Corsair mainly for their Obsidian or Graphite series cases, this case is a part of Corsair's brand new Carbide line, which is their budget line of cases. So what does Corsai...
First things first, when we looked up the price of the 500R we thought there was a mistake as its priced at just £86. All of us here thought it would easily be around the £100 mark, its not very often a Corsair products leaves us thinking "OMG that's chea...

Corsair does it again with sleek looks, tons of features, and in trendy white to boot. If you are looking for a sub $150.00 mid-tower this is a for sure buy. Just make sure you check the prices on that 600T before you hit the purchase button. ...
With the 500R Corsair is aiming at gamers with a stuffed PC, tucked full with hardware. For these users this chassis thus offers a wider range of cooling capacity, that and a little more flexibility over the 400R in terms of removable drive cages and fan...
