Hi PC Centric... just had a question about a comment you made in your video. What is the smallest case one can buy that fits a full size ATX motherboard and an EVGA 750 G2?
There are 3 known drawbacks to this case. - Worst being the I/O being on the back panel side meaning you shouldn't have the back case facing close against the wall. - There is no dust filter for the top so unless you want a lot of dust buildup inside your PC when its powered off; you'll need to cover it each time after use. - The front dust filter is non removable. I'd recommend checking out Fractal define C if you want something similar but better and P400 or if youre on a small budget the P300, just know that cable management might be a pain (it also comes with Tempered Glass at its price which is rare to find). But if you still want this case just keep some compressed air ready to get rid of that dust frequently.
I know this video is over 5 years old, but I think the PC market still needs case options like this without a side window. There are practically no more options like this nowadays, so the buyer is kind of forced to buy cabinets with a glass or PVC side window.
I'm in a real pickle. Both the 270r and p400 are the exact same price, and both have some of the key features I'm looking for (glass window, psu shroud) but... I like the look of the p400 a lot more, both the case itself and the lighting features. On the other hand, the p400 only fits a cpu cooler up to 160mm and I'm looking to get something with more room, and the 270r holds up to 170mm. Ugh. I wish I could just get the p400 in a slightly deeper version.
just comparing this to my fractal define s, because i have not had any other cases recently. the corsair case seem so bad. lets take take a look: 1: with window you loose fan and noise absorbing option. would not recommend. 2: top panel is just open. that is just soo bad. 3: psu shroud, that just block case airflow, 4: no fan intake filter, 5: i can get 3 140mm filtered intake fans in front and 140mm exhaust fans at back and side. but corsair stuck with 120mm in most places or non at all, only 2x 140mm in front. 6: i found a good thing, very high feet, congrats.... all of the negatives on the corsair case the fractal does better, and that just from my experience with 1 case, then there is possible so much other cases that is better also. if you buy the non window version, the price are the same as the fractal.
Thanks for the reply. I guess having to buy that separately makes it nearly as much as 400c. A bit off topic but I'm kind of torn between the s340 elite and the 400c the s340 is £15 cheaper and I really like the aesthetics but i think the 400c probably has more flexibility. Any idea how they compare?
For those who have this case, i have a forum post showing you how i made air filters for the top and front of the case- linustechtips.com/main/topic/846747-my-first-gaming-pc-build/
+Raccoon i just made my own, just find some fridge magnet material, that flexible magnetic sheet, then cut that to make a border, the stockings or pantihose or some other fine material into the correct size and find a method of sticking the magnetic sheeting to the fabric i jut used 3m doublesided mounting tape
Dwayne Stimpson Right? I wouldn't wanna buy a case without filters in places like the top, and grommets are very helpful. The Define C does look nice, especially the mini (to me personally).
lebron jaques Oh you mean the XB241HU. That's the one I have! It's awesome. The XB241YU has come out since then tho and is the same TN and size but 1440p, which I may get to replace my 1080p
Non modular psu, pump upside down, fans in a pull position instead of push and that cable management ugh come on guy where'd you learn how to build a PC 🤔
wow the quality of your videos has really increased.. I watched your air 240 review and then I watched this and I was like wow
I just think maybe your audio (voice) quality could be a bit better to fit with the great filming quality
how do you take the front part out
Corsair needs to stop ditching dust filters...
Beautiful. I'll probably be choosing between this and the Fractal Define C for my next case.
Elliot Maverick same I really can't decide between them
Elliot Jay define c easily
Elliot Jay get the defign c
Corsair IS back
im getting a corsair spec 3 for 70 euros, can't find this model anywhere still, is it worth sending that case back and waiting on this one?
Can i just put plastic foil on top of the case and tape it? Or will that make it overheat
Hi PC Centric... just had a question about a comment you made in your video. What is the smallest case one can buy that fits a full size ATX motherboard and an EVGA 750 G2?
how many extra fans should I buy for this case?
1-4
3x 120mm intakes, 1x 120mm exhaust.
This looks sexy, really considering going for this case to replace my old one for my PC rebuild!
its a beautiful case
but i didn't see any room 4 dvd is there any room for cd or Dvd-rom ???
i want to get this case and have a Cooler Master MasterLiquid Lite 240 . will it fit?
i have a crap cyber power case and i really want another one. would you recommend this for me?

What type are the USB ports? 3.0? 2.0?
I would like to see a comparison between this and the define C
just comparing this to my fractal define s, because i have not had any other cases recently. the corsair case seem so bad.
lets take take a look:
1: with window you loose fan and noise absorbing option. would not recommend.
2: top panel is just open. that is just soo bad.
3: psu shroud, that just block case airflow,
4: no fan intake filter,
5: i can get 3 140mm filtered intake fans in front and 140mm exhaust fans at back and side. but corsair stuck with 120mm in most places or non at all, only 2x 140mm in front.
6: i found a good thing, very high feet, congrats....
all of the negatives on the corsair case the fractal does better, and that just from my experience with 1 case, then there is possible so much other cases that is better also. if you buy the non window version, the price are the same as the fractal.
Out of interest would the magnetic dust filter from the 400C fit the top panel of this case? The design looks very similar
+mark Edwards Yeah I think so. Not 100% though
Thanks for the reply. I guess having to buy that separately makes it nearly as much as 400c.

Can a micro atx be used in this case ?
It's possible to move the buttons from the right side to the left side of the panel?
+MattSid86 no
should I get this or the nzxt s340
Ivan Momin id get s340, but its a bit more expensive. Overall I love how both cases keep a simple design:)
Came here to find out how to open the front panel. Wasted 11 mins and didnt help!
You should look at the NZXT S340 mate. In my opinion its better than this one and its competitors.
Joe Hunt have you checked out the phanteks p400s?
ThunderGoatz i like the phanteks p400s more because of the silence version
Frntpressure this case is $55 now lol. It's got something going got it.
Solid review
7:35 where did he put the fan that was originally there.
How do you solve to rid the dust from settling from the top?
You can buy a dust filter
PC Centric where can you buy a dust filter? Does corsair sell them separately?
liked the video minus brexit comment, UK has always been screwed over on computer parts
Best Mid Tower Case?..NO
Thanks
nice video man :)
I have the 88r.

can you give me one of these graphics card away you have on top of your shelf since you aren't using them hahaha
Syr Maniac Sad
4 the $ i think the phanteks p400s is a hell of a lott better, this is a nice case as wel but the price is way to high 4 what u get but ok let go
How the fuck did u take off the front panel like nothing?! My thumbs fucking hurt n I still can't get it off!
Close Corsair, very close. No grommets and filters makes the P400S a better buy. Personally the Define C is where its at.

Review the Acer Predator XB271Hbmiprz please :)
lebron jaques There are already a lot of reviews for it.
TheLittleDetails CR Not the TN 1080p one :(
lebron jaques Oh you mean the XB241HU. That's the one I have! It's awesome. The XB241YU has come out since then tho and is the same TN and size but 1440p, which I may get to replace my 1080p
Nah man, I mean the 27'' TN 1080p G-sync monitor. Basically the XB271HU with TN and 1080p
lebron Jaques Oh yeah you are right. My bad. Didn't know they made a 27 inch 1080p
this review in 3 words: what so ever.
Non modular psu, pump upside down, fans in a pull position instead of push and that cable management ugh come on guy where'd you learn how to build a PC 🤔
Came for a case review. Got an idiot's misinterpretation of EU politics as being the cause of exchange rates and regional pricing.
