Corsair Carbide 275R Tempered Glass Chassis Review

A Closer Look – Interior
Removing the side panel on this chassis was nothing short of a pain in the… well, you get the idea. It uses Allen key screws and for some reason, it didn’t have the tool in the box (Update, I found the tool while reboxing it ha!). However, there’s an upside; if you’re worried about people getting into your chassis at LAN and stealing your GPU, they won’t be able to do it in a hurry, I can tell ya.
The chassis is nicely designed on the interior and features an integrated PSU shroud. There’s plenty of ventilation built into it, and even a large routing grommet for passing through cables.
There’s a single 120mm fan in the back, it’s nothing fancy looking, but it’s pretty good quality. Of course, there’s plenty of room here for an AIO cooler or similar too, and those height adjustable screw mounts will help a lot.
In the front, you have another 120mm fan pre-installed, giving us two in total. However, there’s room here for up to a 360mm radiator, albeit a regular/slim one. There’s a good amount of clearance though, so thicker 240mm setups should do great too.
More Filters
The front panel is removable by giving it a good tug, so no tools needed here. Behind it, you’ll find a very nice full-height dust filter. Of course, that means lots of lovely clean airflow for your system, which is fantastic.
Behind the motherboard, there’s plenty more good stuff going on too. You’ll find a huge CPU cooler mounting cut-out, which is handy.
There are two removable brackets for mounting a pair of 2.5″ HDDs.
And a couple more basic 2.5″ mounts towards the front too.
If you need some 3.5″ drives, you’ll find two tool-free removable bays in the base too. All HDD bays are hidden out of sight, keeping things looking neat and tidy.
