Corsair Carbide Series Air 540 - The Perfect Case?

[Wint3rSh0ck]

I'm actually quite keen on it! Saw the coverage Linus got of it at Computex and I shat a brick. It's pretty good for my use case as I can fit a full ATX board in it but not have such a tall case. I have more horizontal space rather than vertical

I think the front I/O panel should be on the top or at the top of the front panel IMO. Have it white or some sort of metal would also be nice.

Looks server grade to me, not convinced.

Yah thats what i thought of when i saw the case...

[Nit3Rid3R]

I like the idea of the case, makes for a very clean build.

I love the design, but the finish looks a bit meh. Could be the lighting, matte finishes rarely look good with a flash.

I love this case !!! It would be even better if later on they release a ' white version ' :D

[boogschd]

i kinda want it but i need more than two 3.5" HDD bays

caselabs is just too expensive for me :(

Seems like another disposable case honestly. You already seem limited from the very start with what you can fit in there. I'd personally go with a Caselabs case over it since there's massive amount of room to grow the case down the road.

People may complain over the cost of Caselabs cases but its a way better option and cheaper in the long run. All the cases I've bought and ended up tossing in the trash I could've paid for a Caselabs case.

I just got the Caselabs SM8 and its worth every penny. Not a single thing feels cheap or poorly designed. Trust me, the first time you touch a Caselabs case you'll know exactly why it's one of the best cases around.

No problem

i actually like it. Lian Li also has a similar style case.

I think I might have to give her a look for a new home for me Rampage IV/3960X as too broke now to spend a whole lot more money for a case right now and helps me water cooling budget out a bit...... with a few mods I can see possibilities!

Body looks great, face is ugly.

Don't really like the cube design but like how they hid the psu and hard drives in the back.

I love how it's minimal but still different. Whenever I look for something minimal all I get is something that looks like a normal home PC. It's also very very tidy looking and I bet some components in there would look even better. They kind of cluttered it with the push/pull etc. (of course they were showing what you could throw in there) but I just have a single 3-slot card and I'll probably get a H100i to go with this. Really sick of my Phantom with all its glossy crap and thousands of Blue LEDs. This + all black components and white LEDs = Minimal/Tidy Heaven!

 

It's also nice to see lots of people don't like it either, means it will be that much different.

I like this case too. And I wonder, can a eeb motherboard like the asus z9pe-d8 ws be installed in this case, and still able to put two h110 on the top and the front of the case? 

[Vic9mm]

I like this case and as soon as it becomes available I'm going to go out and bye one. Right now I have a 600T but the Air 540 has more options to what I need which is the 2 hot swappable HDD stations at the bottom that helps me when I'm working on peoples computers that need to have there data saved I can just pop the HDD in and start saving no more fiddling around with extra power wires or running sata cables. The window on the side is awesome so I can show off my build which the 600T has but not to the extent this case has. While I admit the face is not all that the body is damn near flawless.

[LolNope]

Like the case, prefer caselabs tho
