Corsair Carbide 500R Arctic White edition reviewed

Cases & PSU/Cases by leeghoofd @ 2012-01-24 read/post comments()

A while back we reviewed the Corsair 400R Carbide series case. The Carbide series being Corsairs entry level case lineup. Not the cheapest, yet still remaining affordable cases. However no cut backs on build quality, design and features are made. The 400R was a pretty solid case, but there's another, more advanced version in the Carbide series. The 500R is the bigger brother of the previously tested 400R. Sporting a beefy 200mm sidefan, 3 step fan controller, removable HDD bays and some little extra refinements on the case design. Retailing at about 20 euros more than the 400R, we try to figure out if the 500R is worth it's money yes or no. read more
