A big plus is the amount of room behind the motherboard for cable management, and then there are the dual 120mm fans in the case. Overall we think the Carbide 330R is a decent chassis, we do miss a fan controller, especially for a silent chassis you'd...

“Corsair have done it again, creating a product that is well-built, that looks great and performs even better. It's perfect for those who don't want to see or hear their system when working, but still want something that looks bold and stylish...
