Corsair Carbide 275R

A no-fuss, some-frills mid-tower.

- Phil Iwaniuk

CORSAIR HAS LONG been a purveyor of understated and refined PC cases. The manufacturer’s current lineup might have a few concessions to current trends higher up the pricing hierarchy, such as gaudy RGB fans and trim, but this model exemplifies its simple yet elegant aesthetic. In other words: We like how it looks.

This is a mid-priced mid-tower case that doesn’t feel middle of the road. The most notable nod to luxury comes with the tempered glass panel, and while these are increasingly becoming the norm, they’re not all set flush with the case itself, as this one is. However, we did run into some trouble with the rubber stays when we removed the panel—they’re extremely prone to popping out of their holes, and running off for a game of hide and seek.
