CORSAIR Carbide Series 275Q Mid-Tower Quiet Edition Gaming Case

This is the first Corsair case I have purchased after buying half a dozen Antec cases over the last 20 years. I was looking for something reasonably quiet and solidly built, with appropriate amounts of metal for RF/EMI shielding - in other words, none of this tempered glass that is currently all the rage. My work machine is in a Corsair 330R, which I found to be a decent case but not available, so I decided to buy the 275Q instead.The construction is adequate. Fit and finish is good. I've had cases with thicker panels and heavier construction, but I've avoided cases that are lighter. The sound dampening material seems a little flimsy compared to my other cases, but is present.There is not enough space between the bottom of the motherboard tray and the side panel. This is where you are intended to run some of the wiring, but straight out of the box, the wiring was pressed into the sound dampening material such that it left a permanent impression. Most of the edges were nicely rounded (important for running wires), but there is nothing covering the sharp threads on the motherboard standoffs.The 3.5" bays have flimsy plastic trays and no vibration mounting. A lot of new builds these days won't have spinning disk, so it won't matter for those. But if you want to include some cheap bulk storage, it might not be as quiet as you expect. The 3.5" are mounted such that you have plenty of room on the connector side of the drive, unlike many other cases which require right angle connectors or sharply bent wiring.The PWM repeater takes up one of the 2.5" mounting points. That was not obvious to me, although also not a deal breaker given that I installed an M.2 drive on the motherboard instead. The real problem is that the wire on the input to the PWM repeater was too short to reach any of the fan headers on my motherboard. I'm not overclocking and only am using the two stock fans, and my MB has two fan headers, so I was able to eliminate the PWM repeater, but if I had planned to use it as part of my build, I would have been upset by such a careless oversight. The wires to the fans themselves were plenty long enough to reach the MB headers after unplugging from the PWM repeater.The front is plastic, and is difficult to remove. So much for cutting down on EMI. The top has a nice metal mesh, but the front is wide open. I guess if I put a big radiator in there, there could be some benefit. But I'm not overclocking or using liquid cooling, so that wasn't part of my plan.In the end, the case isn't especially quiet. There's no special ducting or baffles inside. The reduced number of 3.5" bays won't be an issue for many new builds, and allows for more flexible cooling options. It also should provide an opportunity for the manufacturer to save on materials. Yet, I feel like the case is only a basic case. The $90 - $100 where this case is currently priced suggests that it should be something more than that.

It's well built and very nice looking, but I bought this case because I- unlike many people- DO NOT want my case to be all lit up. I want my PC to be quiet and dark. However it turns out that the same control that powers the light on the power button (which is fine), also lights up a white LED on the bottom that illuminates the floor.I also like the idea of a quiet case... certainly fans are going to unavoidably limit this, but I was disappointed with the level of soundproofing they attempted.It's still a nice case and at some point I'll make the effort to figure out how to tear apart the front so I can cover or eliminate the LED, but I wish they would have made it an option or something.

While I would love to give this review a five-star rating, I just can't. The case is a good size, it is well laid out (not the best I have seen/used), the material is solid and sturdy, there is plenty of options for cooling and dirt filtering, the access ports are well located, the feet are well attached and of a good size (something often overlooked). Cable management for me is where it falls just short of the five-stars. While one of the features of this case is cable management, it's not that awesome! The problem is the amount of space between the back panel and the internal frame where the cables are routed. When attempting to place cables in the area, if they are very flat and compact, you will have issues having to force the back panel into place.Oh, did I mention the case very quiet?!I love the case, the overall satisfaction for me is great, just cannot justify giving that fifth star. Would I recommend this case? Absolutely! However, that would be conditional to your build, keep in mind what you will need and make sure the (any) case is of an appropriate design to meet your needs.

Interesting that this is supposed to be a "quiet" case, but there are a few shortcuts, The fans are hard-mounted. Some ten cent silicone isolators would have fixed that. There are rubber bumpers for the bottom of the power supply, but then the screws hard mount it at the rear...?! Only two USB ports on the front; better with four. The thumbscrews that attach the covers are cheap and difficult to work. Even so I give it 5 stars.

Quieter than my old Corsair obsidian, but it isn’t as quiet as I’d like granted my GPU has a coil whine often, it dampens it a good deal but not 100% Looks/feels like good quality material. A bit tight so it’s a game of Tetris at first... I’d rate it 7 out of 10. If you buy this and have liquid cooling check the dimensions first. It is compatible with several Corsair coolers. For the money this is a good option.

Top mounted USB ports and 3.5mm jacks. Two 3.5in SSD mounts and two classic HDD mounts. No slot for CD drives.Hardware installation was simple and straightforward, cable routing was easy as well. Top mounted double radiator fit well with only minor adjustments. Nice clean exterior for a somewhat minimalistic style.

Aún no instalo nada, pero la calidad del producto es de primera, sobre todo a quienes nos gustan los ordenadores discretos

The material of this case is pretty good, compares to what I paid for. It is quiet and has enough room space for you to build on your PC.

Esse gabinete tem a frente removivel muito dura para remoção sendo necessário para limpesa do filtro e suas travas são de plástico.

元々付いているファンのケーブルが見えないような配線になっていたり、天板の一部がマグネット式のフタになっていたりなど通気性の面では良かったのですが、正面のカバーがはめ込み式なので、これが共振して音がするところが残念でした。

Good economy case.Does NOT have bays for dvd reader though. I overlooked that. Not that I really need one anyway, but still, make sure you don't need a bay, because it does not have one.The front panel is WAY too hard to unclip, I had to use a flat screwdriver to pry it off. Seriously, it's too stiff.Good point, if you don't need the hard drive bays inside, you can just remove the cage and gain more space for your PSU wires and airflow if you don't have a modular. That's a welcome feature for my work pcs in which I use regular psus with all the wires. Cleaner install. You also could just keep it there and there is alot of space inside anyway.They should charge 5$ more and just deliver it with 3 fans instead of 2.The PWM module is nice and allows you to run all fans from one mobo terminal, I like that feature a lot.Overall an ok case. Considering that most people just build computers with an m2 ssd now, and no dvd, the case is too long. They could remove the whole drive/radiator section at the front and make the case like 6 inches shorter... I had issues fitting it in my cabinet, and there is just a lot of wasted space in there if you don't need drives or an internal radiator.I like that you can remove the top cover and get super good airflow. My cabinet at work has top venting and no rear venting, so I can just remove the top cover, move the rear fan to the top, install the cpu cooler fan to shoot upwards, and it's a top venting case. I like that for my cabinet.Will probably buy again though, decent case, decent price, it works, it's black, it doesn't have an ugly window.... good for work.

ケースが軽い割には静音性も高く良いのですが、ハードディスクの振動でビビリ音が発生するのが残念です。またフロントカバーが固く、開閉するときの気を使います。
