Corsair Carbide Series 175R RGB Tempered Glass Mid-Tower ATX Gaming Case - Black

First thing, great case! It is sturdy and feels like a case twice or even triple the money I spent. I was not expecting a glass panel! Panel is heavy and well protected from scratches or damage from shipping. Managed to squeeze in a ASUS Strix 590E atx board in this case. And I do mean squeeze! If you look at the pictures, I had about 5mm of spare room when landing the motherboard into the case. This setup includes an Nvidia 3060ti, no space issues there. The Corsair RM750 power supply was a tight squeeze and the 3.5 HDD cage had to be removed. Air cooled Intel i9-11900k CPU with a Noctua NH-D15 heatsink which is tall but it fit no problem. Overall very happy with this case. I downsizing from a 750D and I am very happy everything fit (minus a few case fans). Oh you will need some 120mm fans. I am going to purchase a couple right after this review. 140mm fans work but the exhaust fan on the back is 120mm or smaller only. Did I mention the glass window is freaking amazing! Last picture is the case from across the room, you can clearly see the leds on the ROG MB in sleep mode (I left the protective film on until can rearrange my desk. It’s going to be even sharper and brighter once the film comes off! Highly recommend at the current price point (~$50-60).

As a computer engineer and a system builder,I know what makes a good case, and let me tell you, this is amazing.To start with, the case came nicely packaged with the cables tied nicely and a box with all the hardware you need for assembly. The standoffs were pre-installed, so you can just drop your motherboard in. The back of the case has space for 2 2.5 inch drives and 2 3.5 inch drives, which I used to load my system up with storage. It also supports full atx so no worries about anything not fitting.The case was solid steel, no plastic and has a cool rgb fan that illuminates the Corsair logo, akin to the glowing macbook logo. Once you put the glass panel on, the case is very quiet and the psu shroud makes it so you don’t see any extra cables.I have 2 downsides to this case, but I don’t think one of them would be a problem for most people.So when I put a build in this case, I used a non modular power supply. I think this case was not designed for it because the back panel is flat, and there is very little space for cable management. There are 2 workarounds for this1) get a modular power supply2) take out the hard drive trayThese are your options but with how many folks are using nvme, I don’t think hard drives are a problem for Most gamers.My second issue was that the glass panel uses screws instead of a hinged handle like we see in higher end cases. I understand this was a budget restriction however I do worry that people could lose these screws.Overall I’m very satisfied with how easy this case Was to build in. I shouldn’t be surprised that we see a quality case coming from Corsair but at this price it’s very compelling.9/10

I picked up this case when it was 47% off and couldn't be happier. I bought it to replace another case I had that was full size and just unnecessarily large for my purposes. Everything installed very easily and it was a simple task to route all the cables through the right side to keep things looking clean. I appreciate the simple and clean appearance of the case. The tinted window on the left side lets your RGB shine though but hides any excess wires you might not have organized so nicely.I like how the Corsair logo on the front is actually clear, so it lets the light from my ARGB fans shine through perfectly.I'm not sure if it's just my motherboard but I wasn't actually able to fit 2x 140mm fans on the top, I had to put a 120mm in the rear.I haven't done any stress testing but overall, the temps seem to be plenty fine.Overall I'm very happy and have no regrets about my purchase!

Primarily used for gaming 90% of the time for about 2-4hrs a day. No issues with overheating, GPU temp sits around 70c. I do wish the front panel was mesh to allow more air.I was able to fit an MSI RTX 3070 ti ventus oc but it’s so tight and super close to the front 120mm case fan. My Corsair RM1000 80plus gold fits by sliding the HDD housing forward but takes up the space where a 120mm front case fan would go. To actually install and mount my PSU, I had to fully remove the HHD housing to insert my PSU with cables. Afterwards I squeezed in the HDD housing back in place. I placed it back since I have a 2tb HDD for storage. Otherwise you can leave it out to run (3) 120mm fans in the front.I also installed a Cooler Master Masterliquid ML240L. It is top mounted and fits with no issue.The only issue I ran into while building in this case was the lack of space I had for cables behind the motherboard. My motherboard cable from the Corsair RM1000 psu is thick and adding additional cables running along that thick motherboard cable makes it hard to close the side panel. It leaves a tiny bulge on the side panel that can barely be seen. It helps to have a second person hold it down or if you are by yourself, get creative and use your head to help push down the bulge while sliding the side panel close.Overall I give it 4 out of 5 stars!!! No major issues during my build just some minor inconveniences that I can live with!!!
