The past year or so has been really great when it comes to innovative cases. Especially for these smaller form factors such as mini ITX, which is awesome. Sure, a full tower can be great and give you a lot of options, but a feature rich small case like this lets you pack a powerful punch when space is at a premium.
I'm going to get this case in this color for my next personal build for myself. I didn't even know this thing existed before I watched your overview. Thanks
This is a really nice case! I like the LED switch -- that actually allows you to turn on a light because you need it, not because you're trying to bling your system. This case makes me want to put together another system. So much thought goes into it, and you can clean every filter with ease. Finally, you look really cute with your pigtails, and your sense of humor really adds to the review!
I like it too :D Yeah, I want to build in it in the future too! Small cases are always a challenge to build in haha, even for my teeny hands! I like to change up my hairstyle weekly on JTL :D
Joanne, on power switches, the labels are not the letter "O" for off and "I" for on. Rather, the labels are the numbers "0" for off and "1" for on. Digital notation (base 2) uses "0" to indicate "off" or logical "no", and "1" to indicate "on" or logical "yes".
With all the criss cross plastic support behind the mesh sides it make me feel that dust will collect there and not be easily cleaned. Although for a mini-itx build this is a pretty cool case Joanne, your days at Newegg were well used and you do a wonderful job of presenting and reviewing.
Cool Case, and you dressed up to match your yellow case ! That's pure love right there. I SO WISH Corsair would make it ALL Monochrome yellow / white / etc inside the case also, to match the outside color. All the big-black-box cases are harder to see insider and harder to work in, if you drop black screws in a black case!
Hey Joanne, nice video. Just a small thing- the back 120mm fan mount doesn't have enough space for a radiator (the end tanks extend from the fan mount area).
Hey Jo one draw back to this case if you don't have windows on a USB stick it does not have a spot for a optical drive and i do understand that it is a small form factor still would like to see one it is hard to run USB drivers without one first unless you no a better way.
nice case !!! Bumblebee mods on the way , that side case will become doors for sure :D , made to mod !!! By the way , awesome week , a gigant Enthoo Primo and a tiny Corsair , very fun ! and even every channel do a review on that , yours is the most fun and entertainment , covering all the details , Great Job!
Joanne Tech Lover I wouldn't mind but I need to conserve money. Next build I'm upgrading my MB, CPU, and Memory only. My 850 watt Bronze PSU, H110 water cooler, Blu Ray drives, and AMD 290 Video card will stay. I'm currently looking at X99 motherboards from Gigabyte, but I'm about 70 percent sure I will wait until Intel's Tock architect for X99 CPUs. If I'm not mistaken, Intel's Broadwell-E comes out next summer with 8 cores being the minimal according to rumored CPU charts.
Good review - even touched on some things others missed to mention in their review (also missed a few things, others mentioned like the cable routing options). Anyway this channel leaves a good impression and I like that you don't overly "sex it up" like some other female tech channels do. I'm really getting tired of that - I want to see more women in hardware and games but I'm getting annoyed if it's just "sex sells". I find watching true enthusiasm much more appealing, anyway. That said, the plea for donations and the storenvy link kind of dampen my positive impression.
Thank you! I missed the mod-ready part of this case *hangs head in shame* ;p I don't really focus on what I'm wearing; I just put on the same outfit in different colors lol. It saves me the trouble of mixing and matching! As to the donation/storenvy links at the end, I'm just trying to make it doing what I love. If people don't donate, it's not a big deal. The donations however help me survive and allow me to afford more products for future reviews!
Joanne Tech Lover No shame necessary - it's still a good review and everyone always misses something. And I do appreciate your overall style. As for the donation/storenvy links - I just have some worries about that - just watched the latest Co-optional podcast on twitch (not on youtube, yet) and they discussed the topic and I believe there is some responsibility in how to deal with donations or ones fanbase in general so that gullible or very naive people don't get exploited unintentionally.
Rogelio Luna A little bit homophobic, aren't we? But no, I'm not, I just don't like it if women just count on their sexappeal alone or if they're being objectified excessively - It's somewhat an exploitation of basic instincts and that rubs me the wrong way. I find women who can do more than just presenting themselfs much more appealing, anyway. Don't get me wrong, Joanne is really attractive but from a tech channel I just expect more than watching an undoubtedly pretty lady (I'm not implying that Joanne does badly so no offense meant).
They have to make it in GUNMETAL just like the NZXT Phantom 410 it would be great gunmetal and black! such a nice combo, not to flashy but would look mean
in this case(380t) you can fit in with a asus maximus vii impact ... the cooler master hyper t4 cooler and cool off the intel core i7-4790k...also with 16gb of corsair dominator platinum ddr3?
I recommend using the site PCPartPicker I use it constantly to update parts. You can check if the parts are compatible together along with the case. Also if you want you can check out my P.A.L. Build parts saved list. The list has the case in the video. Just search up TheRavenCalls on PCpartpicker if you're interested .
Yeah, someday I might do ITX for a HTPC(/steam box) and maybe use it for LAN's when I need to. I've always been a pinch of a full tower snob, since they have so much room to work in. My 600T was the exception since it's huge for a midtower and my super old Thermaltake armor only beat it in height...and it looks so good.
Are they going to sell the yellow version? If so, do you know when they will release it? I can only find the white/black versions. Also, it's probably worth mentioning that it comes with a 5 year warranty.
Thank you very much for the review Joanne. I'm wondering if my evga z97 FTW will fix in this case. Considering desizing my case. Any recommendation is appreciate :)
Nice review of the case Joanne. I might pick this up in white unless. I see a better mini itx case better price point kinda steep for a case with plastic. Dam and you look very cute too btw!
Joanne Tech Lover Never follow fads :) Love your channel and Pauls. Need to give Kyle's a go now. BTW do you plan of making a cosplay video or post pics of your WoW outfits?
When does the yellow come out!! The black and the white have been out for weeks, but I want the YELLOW!!! Could you contact corsair for me Puhleeesssee
is corsair RM 850X compatible with this case? i am a blonde when it comes to things like 150mm x 86mm x 180mm i dont understand weather its width or height lol
NEED HELP: anyone knows how to install the front fan of case 380t? Its power cables are 3 x 3-pin male. I really can't find 3 x 3-pin female to fit them. Help me!!!
The 780T has very similar aesthetics, just taller and deeper. I like how corsair has done this. I am also looking into the 780T, and have high expectations considering the price. I was just about to get the 600T until i heard about the 780T.
iReturnV1deotapes Both of those cases are more expensive than or barely less than the price of the 380T. And neither one has anywhere near the airflow, either. I put a 200mm fan in the front of mine, and the air washes over all the components in the entire case. It works well with air cooling, and it can support a 240mm radiator, if you want to watercool. All the air is exhausted on the rear and sides, which are covered with a mesh grill, and when I hold my hand near the mesh I can feel the air flow. It's a great case for a portable gaming rig for LAN parties.
Not true. The Air 240 is $119. This is $149. Not to mention in the same footprint, a carbide Air 240 can house an MATX motherboard, and divide the motherboard from the hard drives and PSU eliminating unnecessary heat and maximizing airflow/cable management. I like the looks of this case, but when you get down to the nitty gritty, it just seems overly expensive for what it provides.
iReturnV1deotapes This case is $119 for the black or yellow versions on Newegg. The maximum it costs is $139 for the white version. And as I said, it has better airflow than a Carbide Air. The front and sides are all mesh grills, and the back has a 140mm fan where the I/O plate and PSU aren't covering. I watercool my CPU, so the CPU radiator, GPU, and PSU pull air directly from outside the case, not from within, since they are all flush with the mesh. The rest of the components are cooled using the 200mm fan on the front. Everything inside stays cool to the touch. Cable management is easy, as the case has a huge amount of open space on the inside. If you want to do a bit of work, you can route your cables inside the structure of the case itself, so they are almost entirely hidden no matter which way you look at it. There is enough space for a large reservoir or other components. You can fit two HDDs and two SSDs. If you picked a modular PSU, you save even more space by eliminating unnecessary cables. And it's large enough to fit full sized GPUs. It's easy to dust out, since you can pull off the sides and easily see every nook and cranny of the case. Nothing is hidden from your canned air, and it literally takes 30 seconds to totally dust out the entire case. I don't know if I'm missing any pros for the case, but as an owner for the entire year of 2015, I can say this is the best Mini ITX case on the market currently if your needs are high air flow and space in an easily portable form. There are plenty of other high quality cases out there, but those three considerations are what led me to purchase this case, and I have to say I couldn't be happier. I haven't seen a better case for a portable build yet. You certainly wouldn't be able to carry the Carbide Air with one hand. I'm not ragging on your choice of a case, as there are more feature packed cases out there if you don't plan on moving it a lot. I'm just saying for portability combined with space and high air flow, this case beats anything I've found so far.
+John Barner (ShrunkenQuasar) In comparing the unmodified Prodigy, Air 240 and 380T, I can agree that the 380T is the best in terms of airflow and on par in flexibility with the Prodigy, notwithstanding Prodigy's ability to hold a lot of 3.5" drives. The non-black Prodigy has a solid front panel with highly restricted airflow, and only (at stock) eclipses the 380t in water cooling capabilities with a front mounted 180mm radiator and top mounted 240mm radiator. The big issue with the Air 240 is the limited motherboard area height. PCI-E power cables hit the side window quite easily and a water cooled card is either a very tight fit, or no fit at all due to the top mounted water ports hitting the window and scratching it. IMHO the Air 240 is easily the worst of the three cases, due to a ton of compromises. If it was another 5mm-10mm wider it would likely be the best, but that's not the case (sorry about the pun). The Prodigy is still an awesome case, but the 380T is easily the best looking of the three, and with a small mod (cut out the supporting metal for the front mounted disk cage) can hold a side mounted 240mm radiator, and a Swiftech H220-X 240mm radiator in the front, making it a very capable water cooling case. I've built in all three of them, and hold the 380T in the highest regard. In fact, I think it's probably the coolest, and best case Corsair has ever released. I've drilled out the rivets holding the top handle assembly and replaced them with M4 screws to make it easier to build in stuffed with custom loop water cooling components, and I've painted the plastic panels a nice teal blue. Even without the modification I could put a 120mm radiator (Coolgate G2) in front in push-pull with the side mounted radiator and still have a decent WC rig.
I like the design, but way too much plastic for the $129 price point!!! For that price they should have thrown in a 200 mm fan in the front. Excellent review as usual!!! Peace!
Although, the plastic is really just in the yellow parts and the SSD cage! It would have been nice to have a 200mm fan in the front :D Thank you for watching :)
I called their hotline. They said it's a prototype that they aren't sure they are going to release for sale D: If you feel like getting rid of yours let me know!
I'd like to see this case made in Blue :D I liked this video because it it just awesome. Note: I have three cases that i like: The Corsair 250D, Corsair Air 240 and this one. Witch one should i get?
I prefer this to the Air 240 as the Air 240 has some severe height limitations for video cards, so an Asus Strix or EVGA Classified is too tall and won't fit. Not a problem with the 380t. The Air 240 is best for disk storage and water cooling while the 250D is probably the most flexible in-between of these two cases.
Daryl Flordelis Just as a follow up I have an Air 240, and as an avid DiY water cooler, while it has a lot of space for radiators using a Mini ITX motherboard, any standard size video card with a mounted water block with ports on top actually touches the window, and tall cards, even the new MSI Gamer series GTX 970 (for example) have trouble fitting. If I rotate the case and place the window on top the acrylic sags a bit and makes the problem worse. The problem becomes that the window will scratch unless I use some felt or soft rubber on the top ports to cushion things. The 380T doesn't have this issue. Great minds think alike as I've painted it a dark teal blue. Here's a look: www.dazmode.com/_forum/showthread.php?1402-Corsair-380T-5-aka-quot-Laggy-quot&p=30617&viewfull=1#post30617
great review, i am old school so i prefer the atx's. i like the colour and would like to see a blue/black version. i wonder if its hard to do a build with these small cases. i have enough problems with my large hands and a atx build. have a good holiday joanne..bzzzzzzzz bzzzzzzzzz
bclmax Thank you! I like ATX as well, but it's fun to build a mini version every now and then :D Thanks for your color suggestion: Blue/Black! Sometimes, the cable management part can be a pain XD. Have a good holiday!
The past year or so has been really great when it comes to innovative cases. Especially for these smaller form factors such as mini ITX, which is awesome. Sure, a full tower can be great and give you a lot of options, but a feature rich small case like this lets you pack a powerful punch when space is at a premium.
True, tech is always coming out with the latest and greatest :D.
Hard to keep up sometimes haha.
I'm going to get this case in this color for my next personal build for myself. I didn't even know this thing existed before I watched your overview. Thanks
Awesome!
I hope you have fun building :)
What a cool case. Watched this again in 2021. Built a low end AMD.
I sure do miss your product reviews Joanne! ❤ I love how much passion and effort you put into them!
This is a really nice case! I like the LED switch -- that actually allows you to turn on a light because you need it, not because you're trying to bling your system. This case makes me want to put together another system. So much thought goes into it, and you can clean every filter with ease. Finally, you look really cute with your pigtails, and your sense of humor really adds to the review!
I like it too :D
Yeah, I want to build in it in the future too!
Small cases are always a challenge to build in haha, even for my teeny hands!
I like to change up my hairstyle weekly on JTL :D
I'd happen to love this case. Thanks J for bring us the review
I like it too!
No problem, just doing what I love :D
Such a cute little ITX case! And absolutely love the matching outfit! Excellent review!
Joanne, on power switches, the labels are not the letter "O" for off and "I" for on. Rather, the labels are the numbers "0" for off and "1" for on. Digital notation (base 2) uses "0" to indicate "off" or logical "no", and "1" to indicate "on" or logical "yes".
I understand haha; I just remember it better that way ;p
Thanks for sharing!
I really like the way you talk. Somehow it gave me that tingly sensation of how ASMR videos usually do, which sadly no longer does. Subscribing :D
razorsharpx0 Thank you!
Appreciate the sub!
With all the criss cross plastic support behind the mesh sides it make me feel that dust will collect there and not be easily cleaned. Although for a mini-itx build this is a pretty cool case
Joanne, your days at Newegg were well used and you do a wonderful job of presenting and reviewing.
Hmmm interesting.
I still like it though, and it'd be fun to build in!
Indeed, thank you for the compliment :D
Wow, nice case. Makes a change from the standard black rectangle design. I would really like one of these.
Snow I agree!
I like innovative designs, not from the norm :D
I am sold, this thing looks amazing, going to do a custom liquid cooling system in this in the future.
SantaTheSleigher Glad you like it! How fun :D
Look at you releasing videos at the same time as all the big TH-camrs. You've officially "made it!"
Lol, thanks!
I'm still trying to "make it" and I will continue working hard :)
Cool Case, and you dressed up to match your yellow case ! That's pure love right there.
I SO WISH Corsair would make it ALL Monochrome yellow / white / etc inside the case also, to match the outside color.
All the big-black-box cases are harder to see insider and harder to work in, if you drop black screws in a black case!
what an awesome case I wish they still made them in 2018
Joanne, the 1 and 0 on switches are bit flags. 0 = Off 1 = On .
Hey Joanne, nice video. Just a small thing- the back 120mm fan mount doesn't have enough space for a radiator (the end tanks extend from the fan mount area).
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing with everyone about the rear 120mm radiator clearance!
Joanne Tech Lover Least I can do, looking forward to more stuff here now.
I'd kill for a purple and a green 380T.
***** Ok, hopefully Corsair sees your comment :D
Thank you for the review on the case, much appreciates it! Enjoyed your attention to details on the case itself.
When I built my PC, I considered that case but I ended up going with the NZXT H510
I built my second PC in this. Thank you, Joanne.
in yellow? if so, where did you buy this..
I'd like to see blue and red versions as well.
Let's see what Corsair will do!
that is a great looking case, my next build is going to be mini itx, and this is in my wish list for sure
I think so!
Hope you get this case for your next build :D
this case looks ideal for LAN parties.. it has a handle so you can carry it around easily.
Agreed!
I love cases with handles; just easier to hoist up on a table too!
Great video Jo! Great overview, great hair, matching color coordinating with the clothes too! SWAG ;P
Thank you!
I do my best :D
nice review Joanne!, awaiting the 780t case review muahaha ;)
Thank you!
Maybe I'll get a sample!
Yellow is a welcome addition, but I would really love a nice lime green :D
Ooo lime green sounds yummy!
Great review , gives people options. Oh , and eventhough you didn't point it out, I noticed your top color matched the case, heh nice touch.
billfromelma Thank you!
I try to match my products sometimes :)
Hey Jo one draw back to this case if you don't have windows on a USB stick it does not have a spot for a optical drive and i do understand that it is a small form factor still would like to see one it is hard to run USB drivers without one first unless you no a better way.
This is true, an ODD mount would have been nice for an optical drive or port expansions etc!
Thanks your a nice lady keep up the Great Work !!!!!!!
Cool Joanne, like to see you reviewing new cases from Corsair. :)
I like it too haha!
nice case !!! Bumblebee mods on the way , that side case will become doors for sure :D , made to mod !!!
By the way , awesome week , a gigant Enthoo Primo and a tiny Corsair , very fun ! and even every channel do a review on that , yours is the most fun and entertainment , covering all the details , Great Job!
***** I think so!
A week of cases; how fun is that haha!
Thanks for the support; I appreciate it :D
Im going to get the Black one! Thanks Joanne!
why cant other TH-camrs do reviews like this, where she gives both metric AND American measurements. very informative
I love how far you've come along! You look adorable here, BTW. Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
Hard work and passion :D
More videos to upload weekly on JTL!
it looks so good! Sadly I can't build Matx or itx builds since I need many pci and sata ports
great video Joanne!
Thank you!
I would buy one just for the start button if there's any full ATX support.
***** Lol really?
It is pretty fancy!
Love the uploads keep up the great work! :) got to love tech chicks!
Thank you!
I appreciate the support!
Your dress & hair match the case perfectly..its such a perfect combination ;))
Thanks!
I try to match sometimes :D
I don't think this would work for my components. Looks good, it kinda looks like Bumblebee in mid transformation.
Build with new components in this case ;p
I like it :D
Joanne Tech Lover I wouldn't mind but I need to conserve money. Next build I'm upgrading my MB, CPU, and Memory only. My 850 watt Bronze PSU, H110 water cooler, Blu Ray drives, and AMD 290 Video card will stay.

finally? you didn't wait too long. Sexy case , you don't see a yellow Corsair case every day!
theo pana The waiting part is generally not up to me ;p
Maybe one day, I'll get more new products!
And yeah, lovin' this case :D
Good review - even touched on some things others missed to mention in their review (also missed a few things, others mentioned like the cable routing options).

Good suggestion!
We shall see what they do :)
Joanne Tech Lover I'm a product designer perhaps They should hire me ;)
very nice looking case! I like the yellow color
bumblebee case lol
Me too!
I think it's a little different in the sea of black cases :D
Joanne Tech Lover yup! btw you look like Xiaoyu from Tekken with the 2 ponytails hehe
Do you know if the Corsair 780T has been released? If so could you do a review on it in the future?
Not sure about the 780T, sorry!
If I get a sample, I'll probably review it :)
in this case(380t) you can fit in with a asus maximus vii impact ... the cooler master hyper t4 cooler and cool off the intel core i7-4790k...also with 16gb of corsair dominator platinum ddr3?
I recommend using the site PCPartPicker I use it constantly to update parts. You can check if the parts are compatible together along with the case.

That's some overpriced ram
Would like to see orange, though I'll probably never buy it because I'll probably always go full atx.
Thanks for the color suggestion!
And who knows, you may build one one day for a friend or to take to a LAN party :D
Yeah, someday I might do ITX for a HTPC(/steam box) and maybe use it for LAN's when I need to. I've always been a pinch of a full tower snob, since they have so much room to work in. My 600T was the exception since it's huge for a midtower and my super old Thermaltake armor only beat it in height...and it looks so good.
That thumbnail! I laughed out laud when I saw it.
I do like this case.
Glad you liked the thumbnail!
Me too :D
are those wings edited or do you actually have a pair? I mean you'd make a good "fairy" but a bumblebee not so much B)
Joanne! Where do I get this case in yellow? I am finding white and black everywhere, but I can't find this color!
Perhaps it is not released yet!
I could not find it either XD
I'm very close to buying this case.... But I have questions. Does it have room for a disk reader and a card reader?
No slots for that stuff. You'd have to modify it for that.
i have hard time trying to find the case in video
Joanne! can u do a vid on keycaps :( im confused abp pbt stuff and what shd i get
Reminds me of a travel cooler. I can not un-see it now.
Are they going to sell the yellow version? If so, do you know when they will release it? I can only find the white/black versions. Also, it's probably worth mentioning that it comes with a 5 year warranty.
I'm pretty sure they are selling the yellow version.
I am not sure when it will release!
Thanks for sharing the 5 yr warranty bit :D
Thank you very much for the review Joanne. I'm wondering if my evga z97 FTW will fix in this case. Considering desizing my case. Any recommendation is appreciate :)
Really informative review. I just bought that case. Great video.
have you bought this in yellow version?
In white. The pc was for my daughter who choose white. I would have choosen yellow :-)
I think we need a return of the pigtails for the new videos... anyone else agree?
Lol, maybe when Summer rolls around!
130 Million Anime fans agree. :-)
Nice review of the case Joanne. I might pick this up in white unless. I see a better mini itx case better price point kinda steep for a case with plastic. Dam and you look very cute too btw!
Thank you!
I'm glad you liked this case :D
Thanks for the compliment!
Can you install a radiator in the front of the case?
Corsair's site says no. Just the side. www.corsair.com/en-us/graphite-series-380t-portable-mini-itx-case
"Radiator Mount Locations Side: 240mm"
I would like them to remake this case with better build quality and some modifications. Great design idea, just needs to be be more rugged
That shirt..wow on you.
Also like that your eye makeup isn't way out to the sides.
Thank you, but it's just a tank top ;p
And, I just like to be me :)
Joanne Tech Lover
Never follow fads :) Love your channel and Pauls. Need to give Kyle's a go now.
BTW do you plan of making a cosplay video or post pics of your WoW outfits?
***** Thank you!
I have the wizard prints on Storenvy right now! www.storenvy.com/stores/169290-joanne-s-prints
Joanne Tech Lover
Thank you!..Merry Christmas to you guys.
Wait what ever happened to her working for Newegg??
I left Newegg April 2014 :)
Yea I actually looked at your channel after posting that comment and found that out; I felt really stupid after xD.
Joanne and case reviews go together like peas and carrots!
This is true :3
How can you look at the case when she is there??
Wisdom King I'm only in the intro and outro lol.
can it fit any psu?
i've seen linus video where he said corsair rm850 psu cant fit into the case..
hello Joanne good review and you rock
Just curious, would this case fit a triple slot GPU?
what do you think the best budget parts with this case im a noob in pc teach me pls
Try PCPartPicker :)
It's very helpful for me!
I almost would consider switching my bit fenix prodigy for this, cause its more sturdy, but my Sapphire Tri-X 280X is an inch too long .. :(
That's too bad!
You could always build a new PC in this case ;p
I could.. Or get a new graphics card.. Like the liquid cooled 290x
Great review Joanne.More of a full tower guy myself.Nevertheless very beneficial for mobility.
Thank you!
I missed the part of the mod-readiness of this case *sorry* XD
I prefer mid towers, but I don't mind mini towers!
When does the yellow come out!! The black and the white have been out for weeks, but I want the YELLOW!!! Could you contact corsair for me Puhleeesssee
I have no idea lol.
Is it not out yet?
Have you tried both Newegg and Amazon?
Yeah been searching every single day! I laughing and I'm crying...
is corsair RM 850X compatible with this case? i am a blonde when it comes to things like 150mm x 86mm x 180mm i dont understand weather its width or height lol
Akram Mohammed pretty sure 180 is length, those PSUs are longer than usual.
Keep up the good work im looking forward to your next video..
Will do!
Thank you for watching :D
That's a really nice looking case, BUT!!...can I install big air coolers like the noctua nh-d14? :)
Well, the CPU Cooler height clearance is 150mm or 5.9" :)
Awesome! Joanne is a yellow buzzzing bee! Bzzzzzz! LOL
This case is great! :)
***** Thank you!
I like it too :D
NEED HELP: anyone knows how to install the front fan of case 380t? Its power cables are 3 x 3-pin male. I really can't find 3 x 3-pin female to fit them. Help me!!!
this case looks sick........was considering the 250d but now idk, I might just have to order this instead!!!!!
Indeed!
If you order this, hope you have fun building!
so can I put Micro ATX mobo in this case?
I want to get the Yellow version... But I have to hold out on spending an extra £40 just for a colour.
where is it available to buy? The yellow version, I fucking loving it
not really a fan of the aesthetics but like the 780T though.
Is that a full tower?
I bet it's awesome!
yes
The 780T has very similar aesthetics, just taller and deeper. I like how corsair has done this. I am also looking into the 780T, and have high expectations considering the price. I was just about to get the 600T until i heard about the 780T.
I don't know if I can justify the price tag when I could just get a Bitfenix Prodigy OR a Carbide Air for so much less. Doesn't make much sense.
iReturnV1deotapes Both of those cases are more expensive than or barely less than the price of the 380T. And neither one has anywhere near the airflow, either. I put a 200mm fan in the front of mine, and the air washes over all the components in the entire case. It works well with air cooling, and it can support a 240mm radiator, if you want to watercool. All the air is exhausted on the rear and sides, which are covered with a mesh grill, and when I hold my hand near the mesh I can feel the air flow.
It's a great case for a portable gaming rig for LAN parties.
Not true. The Air 240 is $119. This is $149. Not to mention in the same footprint, a carbide Air 240 can house an MATX motherboard, and divide the motherboard from the hard drives and PSU eliminating unnecessary heat and maximizing airflow/cable management. I like the looks of this case, but when you get down to the nitty gritty, it just seems overly expensive for what it provides.
iReturnV1deotapes This case is $119 for the black or yellow versions on Newegg. The maximum it costs is $139 for the white version. And as I said, it has better airflow than a Carbide Air. The front and sides are all mesh grills, and the back has a 140mm fan where the I/O plate and PSU aren't covering. I watercool my CPU, so the CPU radiator, GPU, and PSU pull air directly from outside the case, not from within, since they are all flush with the mesh. The rest of the components are cooled using the 200mm fan on the front. Everything inside stays cool to the touch. Cable management is easy, as the case has a huge amount of open space on the inside. If you want to do a bit of work, you can route your cables inside the structure of the case itself, so they are almost entirely hidden no matter which way you look at it. There is enough space for a large reservoir or other components. You can fit two HDDs and two SSDs. If you picked a modular PSU, you save even more space by eliminating unnecessary cables. And it's large enough to fit full sized GPUs. It's easy to dust out, since you can pull off the sides and easily see every nook and cranny of the case. Nothing is hidden from your canned air, and it literally takes 30 seconds to totally dust out the entire case.
I don't know if I'm missing any pros for the case, but as an owner for the entire year of 2015, I can say this is the best Mini ITX case on the market currently if your needs are high air flow and space in an easily portable form. There are plenty of other high quality cases out there, but those three considerations are what led me to purchase this case, and I have to say I couldn't be happier. I haven't seen a better case for a portable build yet. You certainly wouldn't be able to carry the Carbide Air with one hand.
I'm not ragging on your choice of a case, as there are more feature packed cases out there if you don't plan on moving it a lot. I'm just saying for portability combined with space and high air flow, this case beats anything I've found so far.
+John Barner (ShrunkenQuasar) In comparing the unmodified Prodigy, Air 240 and 380T, I can agree that the 380T is the best in terms of airflow and on par in flexibility with the Prodigy, notwithstanding Prodigy's ability to hold a lot of 3.5" drives. The non-black Prodigy has a solid front panel with highly restricted airflow, and only (at stock) eclipses the 380t in water cooling capabilities with a front mounted 180mm radiator and top mounted 240mm radiator. The big issue with the Air 240 is the limited motherboard area height. PCI-E power cables hit the side window quite easily and a water cooled card is either a very tight fit, or no fit at all due to the top mounted water ports hitting the window and scratching it. IMHO the Air 240 is easily the worst of the three cases, due to a ton of compromises. If it was another 5mm-10mm wider it would likely be the best, but that's not the case (sorry about the pun). The Prodigy is still an awesome case, but the 380T is easily the best looking of the three, and with a small mod (cut out the supporting metal for the front mounted disk cage) can hold a side mounted 240mm radiator, and a Swiftech H220-X 240mm radiator in the front, making it a very capable water cooling case. I've built in all three of them, and hold the 380T in the highest regard. In fact, I think it's probably the coolest, and best case Corsair has ever released. I've drilled out the rivets holding the top handle assembly and replaced them with M4 screws to make it easier to build in stuffed with custom loop water cooling components, and I've painted the plastic panels a nice teal blue. Even without the modification I could put a 120mm radiator (Coolgate G2) in front in push-pull with the side mounted radiator and still have a decent WC rig.
Hey guys I want this case! But i have a gigabyte 980ti g1 that's 296mm in length which is 6mm more than the max this case allows. Will it be a issue?
+avengerpunch Yeah, you have to bend the other side a bit to bend it or something.-
if you actually strip the yellow pieces off, there is tons of cable management room
+James Mastroianni oh, I see what you did there..
+James Mastroianni oh, I see what you did there..
+znpy what?
Psu dust filter isn't a big deal coz i doesn't need to be exposed since its in the bottom part of the case..
Still like my Zalman case you reviewed.
thats one great itx build case thanks for sharing
I like the design, but way too much plastic for the $129 price point!!! For that price they should have thrown in a 200 mm fan in the front. Excellent review as usual!!! Peace!
Although, the plastic is really just in the yellow parts and the SSD cage!
It would have been nice to have a 200mm fan in the front :D
Thank you for watching :)
Wow; if I didn't have a bitfenix I would totally get this case. And I would get that yellow version to match my Lanboy :p
Ed Fal Ohhh nice!
Well, you could always buy it for your next build ;p
I called their hotline. They said it's a prototype that they aren't sure they are going to release for sale D:
If you feel like getting rid of yours let me know!
Really? Haha cool.
I wonder why they sent out a bunch of samples to reviewers then ;p
Is this case can sli the gtx 970 ??
You can only fit mini itx mobos and mini itx's xan only have in card
Love those colors
Happy colors!
love to see RED or BLUE
even GREEN
Ooo all good colors!
Maybe a forest green :D
I removed the bumpy stuff, my powersuply couldn't fit because of it haha
Someone Know when the Hornet Edition will be available?
Pleaaaase? :D
hey you got a nice setup there
I'd like to see this case made in Blue :D I liked this video because it it just awesome. Note: I have three cases that i like: The Corsair 250D, Corsair Air 240 and this one. Witch one should i get?
I'm glad you liked this video :)
I need to see those cases in person to say!
Joanne Tech Lover Thanks for replying! but i'll wait for my answer from you :D
I prefer this to the Air 240 as the Air 240 has some severe height limitations for video cards, so an Asus Strix or EVGA Classified is too tall and won't fit. Not a problem with the 380t. The Air 240 is best for disk storage and water cooling while the 250D is probably the most flexible in-between of these two cases.
10ee Thanks.
Daryl Flordelis Just as a follow up I have an Air 240, and as an avid DiY water cooler, while it has a lot of space for radiators using a Mini ITX motherboard, any standard size video card with a mounted water block with ports on top actually touches the window, and tall cards, even the new MSI Gamer series GTX 970 (for example) have trouble fitting. If I rotate the case and place the window on top the acrylic sags a bit and makes the problem worse. The problem becomes that the window will scratch unless I use some felt or soft rubber on the top ports to cushion things. The 380T doesn't have this issue. Great minds think alike as I've painted it a dark teal blue. Here's a look: www.dazmode.com/_forum/showthread.php?1402-Corsair-380T-5-aka-quot-Laggy-quot&p=30617&viewfull=1#post30617
great review, i am old school so i prefer the atx's. i like the colour and would like to see a blue/black version. i wonder if its hard to do a build with these small cases. i have enough problems with my large hands and a atx build. have a good holiday joanne..bzzzzzzzz bzzzzzzzzz
bclmax Thank you!
I like ATX as well, but it's fun to build a mini version every now and then :D
Thanks for your color suggestion: Blue/Black!
Sometimes, the cable management part can be a pain XD.
Have a good holiday!
Thanks! Nuther good review!
Thanks for watching!
