Corsair 200r

[tommy-b-10]

Hey guys, so I'm looking at the Corsair 200r case. Has anyone got one? Is it good for the price? How hard is it to put a window in the side? Would a general metal worker be able to mod one?

 

Cheers

Probably cheaper just getting the windowed 300r.

Yeah while I do personally like the look of the 200Rs front better, it may be a good idea to just get a windowed 300r to save yourself the hassle.

Yes, a general metal worker can do it no problem, i don't have that exact case, i have the 500R and i can say the build quality is awesome, and i prefer the looks of the 200r.

Hmm I myself have loved the look of the 200R but was just worried about the build quality.

I believe this link will help you in your decision making quest. It did for me.

It does look good though.

It does look good though. For your convenience I managed to get a comparison of the 200R next to the 300R. The 200R definitely looks better.

 

Biggest fail ever , the case even says antec -___________-"

This is the 300R. I personally think it looks better than the 200R. I was going to get the 200R initially but you cannot get to the front and there is no where for front intakes. For a little extra, you get LOADS more features. 300R window is pretty cheap too. Very good build quality for the price too so it can modded easily.

Bugger....didn't see that...oops. Should've realised that.

Got the case last December. Wasn't that hard to mod the case for watercooling. Lost the optical drive and hard drive mounts but it did fit a 360mm rad. The steel is thin so not hard to cut.
