The
Corsair Graphite 380T is only compatible with mini-ITX motherboards,
whereas the boards get placed horizontally in the enclosure and the case
itself allows for the installation of large heatsinks. As we already
mentioned, the 380T features a rather typical layout which means, there
are essentially two layers. In the bottom you install PSU as well as
SSD/HDD and what’s practical is that no tools are necessary to do so. Up
to two 2.5-inch drives can be placed in the small housing right next to
the power supply and another two 3.5-inch drives go into carriages
behind the front of the case. Overall you can install quite a few
drives, but we would not go that far to say, that you could build a
small storage system based on this case. In the case of the power
supply, there is enough space for units, that don’t measure more than
160 millimeter in length. Like always with smaller cases the
installation process is a little more circumstantial and we would
recommend to remove the hard drive cage before starting with the
process, since this can make your life a little bit easier.
Above the PSU or basically in the first floor you place the motherboard.
There is a huge cut-out in the motherboard tray which, under certain
circumstances, can make the installation of hardware more comfortable.
For our system we chose to use an ASUS Maximus VII Impact with graphics
cards of various lengths. After having placed the motherboard in the
special seat we did not find any compatibility issues and there is
enough size to install 240 millimeter all-in-one cooling solutions as
well as average sized tower coolers.
