THANK YOU NICK

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

Screwed in dust filters. Good job using a bad design Corsair. Aren't toolless externally removable dust filters standard for premium cases these days?

Good job for making an "Air240" that can't use large air coolers, but can fit 240mm radiators. With most decently sized air coolers it will likely look like crap. Which I imagine was exactly what Corsair was after. Watercoolers or nothing.

Unimpressive design (CPU connector issue, bad space use, still haven't solved the right angle sata issue, limited fan mounts). For a cube case that makes good use of the back space, see the Node804.

Also, a low profile air CPU cooler won't likely have direct airflow, and instead pull air from the window area. (fans being parallel to the CPU itself: NH-L9i, NH-L12).

mATX motherboards typically have poor airflow for the top card, and watercooling is not really an option. Good luck with a custom loop or even G10/HG10 in there. SLI/Crossfire isn't really a sensible option in this case, as with most/all mATX cases.

 

Can't comment on materials yet. Unsure of the price. Unsure of the exact specs. *Googles*

 

Good review. Very happy that Slick called the "Air240" name into question.

 

From now on, I'm calling this the Aqua240. Or the AiO240.

 

Also, Corsair pls. Why is the webpage for this case still not up?

80mm fans and can't take a 165mm air cooler in spite of being so wide. I was excited for this case, but then Corsair made it wrong. WTF was the design team even thinking?

even i don't like corsair for some undiscovered reason, i really like the air 240 (and the 540 aswell).
i might buy one and put my itx-system inside. and then try watercool it with at least one 360 radiator, it should fit i hope...

 

edit: seen some more reviews now, no 360, but two 240's

Lol I don't think the case is even 360mm in the longest dimension.

You could look at this like a small Air 540 that's soo small that it's almost not an "Air" case anymore. Or you could turn it 90 degrees and look at it like a large 250D which while not perfect can still fit in a heap of stuffs. I prefer to look at it as a large 250D.

 

edit: Also, I reckon you could fit a radiator in the "bottom" if you used an ITX motherboard.

Fools think they know everything, experts know they know nothing

I always thought the Air 540 felt too big for a cube case - this feels better proportioned imo

Thanks for the review. Really good.

Expecting Corsair Graphite 380t review. This case will be more interesting than air 240 .
