Corsair Carbide 540 AIR

[CalVic]

Who is getting one?

Saw Linus do a quick unboxing last night and for the first time in a while it's case that has just stood out and appealed to me and just screams "Get me!" and to replace my HAF-X

Who else likes the look of this case?

I'm hoping Corsair send Tom the case to do a review on OC3D.

You have Tom, but not a proper one, and you know what I am talking about.

If the 5,25 bays would be the right angle, i would consider this case a must have. Unfortunately i can't imagine putting anything there, that would work well.

I can't help but think this case was designed around a price point.

From all appearances it is not possible to run a thick 120.3 in the front with a 120.2 rad in the top. If the case was a few cm taller and longer this wouldn't be an issue.

Surely Corsair could have come up with a better solution for the 3.5in drives there is plenty or real estate on the backside, why not provide removable cages back there. Also I'm not a fan of Corsair's current trend to provide more 2.5in than 3.5 in bays (350d + this case). the vertical 5.25 bays are also a an odd choice, it void the possibility of bay reservoirs.

The double wide case market has a few players, with all those on offer being priced substantially higher than 540. Corsair had plenty of wiggle room to make this case perfect but chose not to.

I think corsair took the idea of the psu in back from parvum systems case but there case only fits a m atx nice to see thay are trying new ideas to me most cases look the same this one stands out a mile
