The Corsair Carbide Series: Everything You Need, Nothing You Don't.

Airflow is a breeze with the Carbide Series. Two front-panel intake fans and one rear exhaust fan are included, and there are a total of ten mounting points.

Carbide Series 400R: Upgrade how you want, when you want.

The 400R has been carefully designed to provide a generous amount of internal volume, and it puts that volume to good use. There’s room for eight PCI-E cards of up to 316mm in length, and even room for a full 240mm radiator for compatibility with the Hydro Series H100 Liquid CPU Cooler and modular watercooling systems. Superior airflow is a requirement for high-performance components that will be regularly pushed to their limits, so the 400R has ten fan mounting points for cooling flexibility. Three 120mm fans — two in the front, and one in the rear — are included, so you’re ready to start building right out of the box.

Carbide 500R: Serious airflow never looked this good.

Want even more outrageous cooling flexibility? Step up to the 500R. It adds a 200mm fan mounted on the side panel’s mesh screen for extra GPU cooling, a multi-channel fan controller, and removable and relocateable hard drive cages. The ability to move and remove hard drive cages not only improves airflow — it also allows you to install graphics cards of up to 452mm in length.

High-performance gaming systems need lots of room to work with. With eight expansion slots and 316mm of clearance, the Carbide 400R has room for triple-GPU installations.

The Corsair Carbide Series: Built for Builders.

The Carbide Series shares vital DNA with the award-winning Corsair Obsidian and Graphite Series. They’re acclaimed for their ease of use and performance-oriented engineering, and this philosophy is abundant in the design of the Carbide Series.

Future-Ready.

Support for USB 3.0 and 2.5” SSDs is built-in. Two USB 3.0 connectors are provided on the front panel and connect directly to motherboards with compatible USB 3.0 headers. Integrated SSD support lets you install 2.5” solid-state drives in any of the hard drive bays, without having to deal with adapters.

Easy access.

Thumb screws on the side panels and tool-free drive installation mean that you’ll spend less quality time with your screwdriver, and the integrated dust filters can be quickly removed for easy maintenance.

Looking good, inside and out.

The beauty on the inside goes beyond the black-painted interior. Corsair’s innovative cable management system provides a straightforward way to route cables behind the motherboard, not across it where it can interfere with airflow and give your system a cluttered look. And since looks are an important part of any build, you’ll appreciate the ability to turn the front panel fan white LEDs on or off with the push of a button.

Carbide Series 200R sub $1000 Gaming PC Build

By Jake Crimmins, on March 1st, 2013

Building a quality gaming rig doesn't take thousands of dollars if you choose your components carefully. With this in mind I set out to build a gaming rig that could handle any of today's games including Crysis 3 for under $1000. I priced the entire build out on Newegg and came in at $937.92 before tax and shipping. Let's start the build and take a look at the components I chose.

AMD Llano Revisited: More Performance Options + Special Bundle from Tiger Direct!

By Mike Clements, on March 21st, 2012

Back in November of 2011, we brought you a build log focused on AMD's Llano APU. The log was based around the then, top of the Llano line AMD 3850K APU. The build log was very well received and highlighted the benefits of building a very power and cost efficient system. We've revisited the original testing with an APU upgrade, AMD's Dual Graphics, and a Corsair Accelerator Series SSD Cache Drive. And, the pricing is even better after a visit to Tiger Direct!

AMD Llano Build Log: An Intelligent Choice for Power on a Budget

By Mike Clements, on November 28th, 2011

As much as it pains me to admit it, not every person wants or needs a fire breathing dragon type PC. Quite a few people in the world will never use or want discrete PCI-e graphics processing, a personalized modded case with bells and whistles, multiple drives, and all of those other goodies that constitute a high end PC. A lot of people are going "green" with their PCs and making choices that consume less power.

Building a system in the Carbide Series 400R gaming PC Case

By Jeff Checchi, on September 22nd, 2011

In this video I demonstrate some of the features of our brand new Carbide Series™ 400R gaming PC case by setting it up with some high performance hardware. The Carbide 400R packs in a lot of features for a modest price, such as rubber cable routing grommets, tool-less drive installation, and even an on/off button for the LEDs on the two 120mm intake fans which come with the case. I also installed one of the longest graphics cards on the market, the ATI 5970, to show how much room is available inside, and in addition I point out where each of the 10 fan mounting locations are. Not only does the Carbide Series 400R look great, but it’s also incredibly builder friendly! Take a look at the video to see for yourself!
