| 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. |
