| Taking a closer look at the front of this rather
unusually shaped case shows that Corsair is using high quality
materials. The plastics for example have a velvety finish. The front has
been split into two parts and on the right hand sider there is space for
two 5.25 inch drives. Below the driver there is the power and the reset
buttons. Next to these two buttons, you find two USB 3.0 ports, a
headphone in as well as a headphone out. On the left side you find a
dustfilter, behind which there are two Corsair AF140L 140 millimeter
fans. The dust filter itself is being kept in place by mangnet in the
corner of the filter piece, which makes it very hand to remove and wash.
Behind the air filter there is space for either two 140 or three 120
millimeter fans. Later in this review we will show you what you can
actually fit into this case, since it offers quite a lot interior space.
But before that a short note about the Corsair fans. The AF140L are
high-flow fans, which brings the consequence, that there actully quite
noisy. Since, the interior is very well thought it's absolutely not
necessary to equip this case with such noisy fans. We would have loved
to see lower rpm fans that offer a lower noise level. |
