Corsair Carbide 300R Mid-Tower Chassis Review

The interior of the chassis is nice and clean looking, with a very large cut-out on the back plate which should allow for easy CPU cooler installations. 4 cable management cut-outs should help keep our cables neat and tidy. The motherboard back plate comes with raised screw mounts to allow for quick and easy motherboard installation.

Around the back we better see the 120mm extraction fan, below that we see that each of the PCI expansion slots comes fitted with quick release thumb screws and finally we have the bottom mounted PSU area.

In the front of the chassis we see that the three 5.25″ optical bays come fitted with quick release clips. Then there is an open space which should allow for large graphics cards and better airflow from the front mounted air intake fan. Then at the bottom of the chassis we have 4 quick release hard drive trays which have support for 2.5″ and 3.5″ drives.

The back of the chassis fairly straight forward but we do get a better look at the cable management cut-outs, which don’t come fitted with rubber grommets. There are also very few cable tie down points to strap down any excess cables to, generally I would have like to have seen more of these to help keep things organised.

Finally with the front panel removed we get a much better view of the 140mm intake fan, which should allow for a good amount of air intake to the chassis.
