- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 October 2013Style Name: Non-WindowedSize Name: 200RColour Name: BlackVerified PurchaseIn relation to the Carbide 200R, I want to say as few things as possible to avoid boring the people who might benefit from this reveiw. This was my first time build for a family member and I wanted to do it as cheap as possible, I know this case isn't exactly cheap but its a value product, its like the difference between buying a knock off tablet or a Nexus, you get quality for an ideal price range.
The 200R, considerations:
* The case itself is beautiful (in my opinion and the amazon photos do it justice);
* Its not a flimsy case like some tech websites describe it to be, its not Armour plated either but its comparable to the stock case you get in a 300$ to 600$ computer;
* The case is completely black, has two USB 3.0 ports and is not all metal, the HDD platters are plastic and the front of the case is also. It really doesn't matter though about the plastic as its a hard type of plastic that I'm sure will last and isn't likely to break;
* It supports ATX and mATX boards (took me quite a bit of time to figure out the mATX part as I needed a mATX case);
* The case comes with extra screws inside but nothing else;
* Its got 2.5" and 3.5" bays which means you can use a old laptop HDD or a 3.5" disk, its up to you.
It has good cable management for a entry level case and I think it really makes it easy for anyone to install and mount all the components they need.
Trust me a good case really does help with everything, its the decisive point on how your build will go.
I suggest getting some more fans for the case they are so cheap and it helps with airflow, plus some led ones wouldn't hurt as the case has no lighting itself.
Overall if you have researched quite a bit and are indecisive on whether or not you should get it, I say go for it, you really can't loose (in my opinion) and if you are a noob at this and want a good looking functional case this is it definitely.
Overall: a great case that supports mATX and ATX boards, its really up gradable and supports large graphics cards and even some water cooling systems.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 February 2017Style Name: WindowedSize Name: 88RColour Name: BlackVerified PurchaseAs far as mATX cases go the 88R is a great choice..
The chassis is of steel construction although the front panel is made from plastic but does have a brushed aluminium appearance. There are 5x 120mm fan locations but only 1 fan is included. Unless you are a gamer then the included 120mm exhaust fan should be sufficient for your cooling needs (the fan they include is very quiet). There is an accessory box included inside the case, in it you'll find 4 nylon zip ties for cable management, all the screws you will need for installing several drives and the motherboard besides some 3.25 inch drive rails for any mechanical drives you may wish to install. There is also a user manual included in the box.
At the front of the case you get 1x USB 2.0 and 1x USB 3.0 port besides the standard headphone and microphone jack. Also on the front there is the power and reset buttons with a HDD activity light in between. There is 1x 5.25 inch drive bay on the front for those that require a dvd/bluray drive.
The 88R can take full sized ATX power supplies and also up to 2x graphics cards at a maximum length of 380mm. There are lots of cable management cutouts and tie points besides the back panel having extra space to cater for all your cables, despite this using a non modular power supply was a tight fit. There are 2x 3.5 inch internal hard drive bays located at the bottom in a purpose made tool free cage and 2x 2.5 inch mounting spots directly on the panel underneath the front I/O which is a brilliant location. The case can support a liquid cooler with a radiator up to a maximum of 240mm in the front or 120mm in the rear. If you intend on using a CPU air cooler then make sure it's no taller than 150mm.
VERDICT: As far as mATX cases go i really enjoyed using this one, for the money it is constructed using quality parts, includes a big window so you can show off your internal components to your friends, the front case umbilical cables are all black, as is the included exhaust fan so blend in well and i like the fact they include a decent filter on the power supply intake at the bottom which is easy to slide in/out for easy cleaning. I also like that all the motherboard standoffs have been preinstalled which saves time.
I only have two negative points, firstly, i would have liked to see a dust filter in the top of the case, if you are going to be placing this case in an open enviroment and not in a recess then i recommend you add two additional exhaust fans in the roof to keep dust to a minimum. Secondly, Corsair only use 1x USB 3.0 port on the front of the case, in this day and age both USB ports on the front should be USB 3. That said these are both minor points for what is a great looking case which happens to be packed with lots of features. If you want a smaller PC and don't want to spend a fortune on a case, the 88R is for you! RECOMMENDED

5.0 out of 5 stars Budget and clean case
Style Name: WindowedSize Name: 88RColour Name: BlackVerified PurchaseBought the case for under $30 on a sale, and it has been surprisingly good -- a 5 star given the price. The case provided all necessary screws and was very easy to assemble. It is large enough to fit a full GPU, and decently large cooler. The design is very minimal and compact, and still allows adequate airflow AFAIK. The only issues I have are:
1) Expansion slot covers are not replaceable
2) Lack of dust filter support
3) Cable management is a bit difficult, especially for PSU cables.

Style Name: WindowedSize Name: 100RColour Name: BlackVerified PurchaseNao gostei muito do acabamento final, incluindo a posicao dos pes que deixou o gabinete manco. Vou ter que arrumar algum tipo de apoio pra evitar que o gabinete fique balancando. Isso é falha no controle de qualidade.
