Corsair releases their 275R Tempered Glass Mid-Tower Chassis

Another plain box with sub-par airflow in a market full of plain boxes with sub-par airflow. Can modern case design get any worse?

Every case today starts to look more like an exact copy of Fractal Design Define series lol...

And yet FD is the only one who can actually make a case that has airflow. Who woulda thunk

Edit:
Watching reviews on this. This case is a joke. Just reinforces my opinion on Corsair cases getting worse and worse

at first glance its a nice case but has many problems , especially 4 allan key screws to take the glass off then it just falls right off , no support for the delicate tempered glass whatsoever , ive been impressed with corsairs products over the years but this is the only product that feels really rushed to me , a bit more refinement would have made this case a real powerhouse in its price range but unfortunately it appears it hasnt had too much thought process go onto it at all which is a shame , i hope Corsairs standards dont start to slip as they get even bigger because for me they will have Top Dog Dominance status within the industry much sooner rather than later as they expand in all areas , i just hope they dont lower their quality standards for more mass production cheaper high volume items

Feels like they are getting cheaper. While it's feeling like cases are going in reverse (new models getting smaller and less space wastage) it seems like they are also cutting corners.

As for the allan key glass cover. Don't see an issue there. I prefer low profile screws than some flashing colour plated bulging, bulge poking out. I think Coolermaster got their doors perfect on the C700P. No screw attachments at all. Just a magnet door mechanic.

I saw smaller... but let's see that damn Slate case come out already. It's inevitable and I want's one :D

And that was originally based around the Antec P180, if memory serves...

There aren't many innovators around. Silverstone & Phanteks are trying...

Err I think you have totally left out the most innovative and expensive brand there is.

InWin have such unique designs, only Jonsbo comes close to immitating them. And they continue to innovate also with their H-Tower

As an example

If it's a case like the 570X which is just meant to be a showpiece I can understand the not so stellar airflow but these more budget oriented cases should have amazing airflow, By that I mean the front should be mesh and grill heaven considering it would mean less materials which translates to lower cost.

The Silverstone Raven RV-02 is still the king of airflow in my opinion.

Fair comment, they have some pretty cool stuff, just don't want to have to sell any body parts...

This case has freaking Allen heads. You need an Allen Wrench to open the side panel?! Unbelievable. On top of that it's terribly designed.
