Looking for owners of the Corsair Air 240

[TheProfosist]

Im looking for someone with a Air 240 that can give me some feedback. I need to know what the clearance would be between the bottom of a mATX MB and the case. If you could provide pictures that would help as well. Also another possible issue can you have 120mm fans in the front with them in the top there could be a clearance issue but from corsair picture there doesnt seem to be one unless you would you use a AIO on the front fans. Also how close is the side vent on the back side panel to the PSU. Basically im looking for that gap to see if you can fit a fan in between there, even if its a 15mm one.

The last somewhat random idea I have is what if I actually mounted the rad to cool the CPU on the rear side panel fan mount. Another one might be 2x120mm AIO's one for the GPU the other for the CPU both mount in the front vertically.

Thanks in advance for the responses as i am considering this case from my 20th Anniversary Pentium build.

LOL, I had abit of a rant about this case the other day, it seems the only place you can fit a 240 or even a 120 Rad is at the front. . . and the bottom fan mounts won't work unless you have an MiniATX board.

 

I know Corsair are trying to make this case as small as possible, but for the sake of using all the features I don't see any harm in making it a couple of CMs bigger, it would still be alot smaller than the 540

I think you mean ITX and yes a 240 fits in the front that how they and most places showed it off. Most were mATX with a H100i in the front.

I have said in another thread that its better fit for a ITX (which you can put in) because of all the room for the rams and fans. I really wonder why no one showed off a proper ITX build in it (not that im doing that). Maybe corsair asked them to use mATX or since its a mATX case people just though "well just use that".

Most of what im saying is pure speculation and what not. This is why im asking for pics. I only found one review that showed anything close to what im asking for and that showed the top of the motherboard fan clearance not the bottom. Some pictures would be great but even better actual measurements. I did see TTL's review but that had nothing real specific beside its close and tight etc.

It looks like you can fit fans in the top yes, but not a rad aswell.

You can fit fans in the front, top, bottom, and back. Also ive figure out all that I really can by looks and multiple review galleries on the web. I really am looking for first had experience, if possible pictures and measurements.

this is a good review

this is a good review

As much as I dislike her I did watch it.

The bottom and top fans are on rails which is interesting. She also put a fan in the bottom and it did fit but it didnt line up with the standard mount points. I imagine it might be possible to ghetto mount them, or possibly use thin fans.

Also noted which was interesting and something youd like only find from building in it is that if you setup the H100i in the front in pull you can indeed still fit two fans in the top. this is something I havnt seen anyone else catch. But as I said to @Charger it seems like most reviews just gave this a once over and were like well its another corsair case do the usual (or whatever).
