The Corsair Crystal 280X is a cube-chassis for ethusiasts who are searching a different looking enclosure. The Crystal 280X is made from sturdy steel, ABS plastic and tempered glass. As far as the design is concerned, we really like the smooth panels. This case offers plenty of space for micro-ATX motherboard and you can equip it with a total of two HDDs and three SSD.
There is also plenty of space for the water cooling, which helps with compatibility when it comes to high-end setups. The Crystal 280X RGB comes with a very good bundle, first of all you get two RGB fans and furthermore you will find the Corsair Lighting PRO module compatible with Corsair iCUE software. As we already mentioned you can install a couple of 280mm radiators and that itself is great already. It's pretty clear that this case is perfect for anybody who's looking for an enclosure with a good airflow. The cable management is well done and the dual chamber design is contributing a lot to that.
The Crystal 280X RGB is listed on Geizhals with prices starting at 150 Euro and it's available in white or black color options. In our opinion, the price is appropriate and it reflects the quality and the bundle of the product. However, if you don't like RGB accents you can buy the Crystal 280X not-RGB for 115 Euro. The Corsair Crystal 280X receives
4 stars out of 5.
