We are using the Antec P110 Luce , the Phanteks Eclipse P300 , and the Fractal Design Define R6 TG chassis for comparison with our Corsair test unit. They are of similar size and features, and all have tempered-glass side panels.

Price; Phenomenal water-cooling support; Acoustic performance; Tempered-glass side panel; Builder-friendly

Thermal performance; Punch-out vertical GPU slot covers

High-end PC chassis are all well and good , but manufacturers understand that sub-£100 models are essential if you plan to ship boxes in meaningful quantity. Corsair has played on that fact with an entire line of affordable Carbide Series enclosures promising "high-end features you need, and nothing...

Sleek; simple exterior; Plenty of fan mounts; Large tempered glass window

Awkward to open; Does little to contain noise

The Corsair Carbide 275R is not meant to turn heads, that is the job of the Obsidian series. Instead, it offers an extremely solid, functional, and inclusive feature set to cater to a broad audience with the understated looks to match.

A favorite of PC enthusiasts everywhere, Corsair's Carbide series has gained new member of the family – the 275R. This compact mid tower has the sleek understated good looks that the series is known and loved for with a tempered glass side panel to show off your components in all their glory.

The front panel is solid, with a small cut out at the bottom that hides a white LED accent bar; an RGB LED accent bar would have been a great touch, even include a simple RGB lighting controller (although...

Affordable, stylish, open, and delivered with a terrific view, the Carbide 275R hits what users are looking for right on the mark! Corsair may have been a little late releasing it, but to some, the wait was surely worth it.

The 275R is very much a safe bet from Corsair. There is nothing here that we haven't seen before elsewhere, and it does little to change the perception that case design has largely stagnated since the general move to designs with PSU shrouds and no optical drive bays.

The Carbide Series 275R offers a good mix of style and functionality, with an effortless build process. My overall impression of the case is a good one, and I personally like the look of it (a black version is also available) quite a bit.
