Dust filters
In total there are no less than six spots for 120 millimeter fans in this case. All the air inlets are covered using dust filters. These can be removed easily in order to clean them under tap water. |

Two compartment layout
Corsair chose a two chamber layout for this case. If you look at the Carbide Crystal 280X RGB from the front, you see that motherboard and graphics card are placed on the left side of the motherboard tray and on the other side that’s where the power supply and HDD/SSD cage go. This internal layout allows for stunning looking builds, where all cables are hidden behind the motherboard tray. |

Watercooling ready
The Corsair Crystal 280X RGB offers a lot of space on the inside, which for instance, allows for mounting mATX motherboards and high-end graphics cards. The front can be equipped with a 280mm or 240mm radiator, while the rear and lower parts are compatible with two additional 120/140mm radiators. Furthermore the top can be equipped with another 280mm radiator. Thanks to the dual-chamber design you can really go crazy with custom water cooling gear, since a lot of components can be hidden behind the motherboard tray. |
