This cabinet is one of the best value for money gaming cabinets around. Let me state the pros and cons (or rather, the difficulties I encountered).
Pros
1. Tough and professionally crafted chassis 2. Tempered glass side panel. 3. 5 fan mounts for 120mm fans designed for maximum ventillation and optimal airflow 4. Motherboard cutout for easy mounting of coolers 5. Great cable management options 6. Large enough to fit tower coolers 7. Front USB 3 port 8. Aesthetically pleasing design
Cons
1. If you have a micro ATX motherboard, check the exact specifications before buying, else you will have a tough time fitting all components. 2. With my motherboard and two Corsair Vengeance 8GB modules (consider any RAM with a tall heat sink), it was impossible to fit the top 120mm fans. I had to replace the fans with two 90mm fans (which luckily fit into the air vents) and cover the extra space around with acrylic sheet to optimise air circulation. 3. If you are upgrading from a micro ATX cabinet, make sure that the 12V cable of your power supply reaches the motherboard since the PSU is bottom-mounted. This is something that I ignored and had to wait for a few days for an extension cable.
Though I encountered several such challenges, I am completely satisfied with the end result. Certainly recommended.

Value for money. I bought this case because Looks stunning from outside. Paint quality is good. Looks stunning from outside. The case has excellent ventilation system front intake and back exhaust. Two fans at the front and one fan at the back. It also has an option to install one fan on the top of the case. Build wise this case is pretty good. It also has enough room for wire management. all-n-all it is a great cabinate with plenty of room for other components, but its more onn a expensive side. well if you have budget look for some more reserh before buying it.

Decent case for the price. It matches my black/red theme that I have going on with my gaming machine.
It cannot fit a full Corsair H100 liquid-cooling radiator at the top, however I have successfully mounted a Corsair H80i liquid-cooler at the back that pushes air out. All the other fans I have set to push fresh air in to the case, which provides really good cold air flow.

Pros: For a mini ATX motherboard in a basic gaming rig, this case is ideal. It comes with a single fan, which is clearly indicated in the specifications for the case. Not a concern for me because for one thing fans are very cheap. For another, I have lots of spare fans lying around.
The case is made of thin metal but it’s light and the strength is adequate. The drive sleds allow 3.5″ drives to snap in without need of tools and feels quite secure. The 5.25″ bays have a feature that also locks in standard DVD drives with a solid click and seems secure.
This case comes with a number of zip ties and hardware for mounting fans, 2.5″ drives, etc. I didn’t have a problem hiding wires and tying them down, nor did I have trouble fitting or attaching an additional fan at the rear of the case. Great build quality and fit and finish Built in filters for intake fans Thermally isolated PSU mounting Easy to use hard drive cage and optical drive bays Rolled edges to prevent sharp edges Just right size for micro ATX board and plenty of space for rigs without crazy rads or massive graphics cards Plenty of rear PCI-E slots Considerations made for cable management allow for a clutter free build for those who get off on well done cable management lighted fan and front IO panel make for a nice front face General aesthetic is cool, dramatic and sleek, yet tastefully understated and just “does it” for me.
The case allows for bottom-mounting power supplies. This is a good thing in my opinion, and avoids giving you a top heavy case with poor cooling.
Cons: One downside is that the top fan positions will require very thin cooling systems to fit there as there is very little space between the motherboard and top of the case.
The bottom case air intake has a removable and cleanable air filter. The front case airfilter is not removable. You’ll need to pop off the front facia (easy to do — just pull from the bottom) and vacuum it out. Not a big deal. Although totally possible, cable management can be a struggle. A bit more of a bulge on the solid side panel would have made cable management much easier. I ended getting everything set up as flat as I could behind the motherboard panel and forcing the side panel on. It worked in the end but its not ideal. The side window is made out of a very soft plastic and is very easily scratched. I may look into making a replacement out of acrylic. Any installed 5.25″ external drives or hubs must be removed to take off the front face for cleaning. Makes cleaning the filters much more time consuming than it needs to be. Does not have room for big radiators and large motherboards may be a squeeze.
The holes for fans at the top leave a broad grating that could potentially allow a lot of dust to filter into the case.
Other Thoughts: Many other reviews have pointed out how this case doesn’t take well to big tower coolers or liquid cooling with rad, notably, a 212 evo is too tall. I find this to be an unfair criticism because if you are spending Rs 3000 on an air cooler, or much much more for a liquid cooling rig, maybe you should be getting a case that is designed for that kind of rig and not one designed to be a solid, attractive, budget case. Its seems pretty fair to me that a Rs 3500 case might not have room for a Rs 7000 liquid cooling radiator. I would suggest saving up a little more for a bigger case to drop that fancy radiator in. As far I my chosen cooling solution, a Cryorig M9i works marvelously in this case. All said and done, however, for the money this case is worth every penny. If you want more features than this one provides, you need to look at a higher price bracket. If you can get this case for less than Rs 3500 consider it a no-brainer!

I built my own rig back in 2012, with a Cooler Master cabinet. Now that was something!! Considering the reputation of Corsair and the products I have used in the past, I straightaway inclined towards this affordably priced cabinet for my Son’s PC.
Delivery: Got the message that it will be delivered a day early – totally got excited – however did not happen, and the item was delivered evening on actual date of delivery – @Amazon – this is happening more often than usual, in maybe and am assuming, in my part of world – please fix this as this is not the first time!
Product: Made in China, but of course – The build quality looks good (emphasis on ‘Looks’), however when my son and I started the build is when quality of the sheet metal used happened to be so thin and fragile, that we had to be careful where pressure was being applied, not to cause any dents. The window on the side is see transparent plastic and removing the protective sheet revealed scratches, as though it had been cleaned with a dirty cloth (it’s almost like a sandpaper). Only one LED 120mm fan is provided in the front, rest would need to be acquired separately. Corsair could have made this cabinet more sturdy with a slightly higher gauge of sheet metal used to build it’s frame. The HDD trays seem to fall out of their slots, due to their thin plastic build – just like the body.
In a nutshell, it’s not a bad PC cabinet to buy if you’re building a budget PC, and want it to look like some of top gaming rigs – you could install high-end PC components and make it look like a Sleeper Car (some of you may know what I mean), but just that the build quality could have been better. I have finally built the PC for my son’s room, he seems to be fine with it for now. I still respect corsair for it’s products and will continue to be their customer.
Hope the review helps many.

Ein gutes Gehäuse das für den Preis echt top ist. Optisch finde ich es auch gute und die Komponenten konnte ich auch problemlos einbauen. Kabel können auch gut versteckt werden, da es genug “Pfade” und Löcher gibt um diese über die Rückseite zu führen.
