Corsair Announces New Carbide 400R and 500R PC Cases

The new Carbide Series 400R and 500R enclosures have been designed for PC gamers and should be as builder-friendly as the company's Obsidian Series and Graphite Series. New system builds and upgrades are fast and simple, thanks to the easy side panel access and tool-free drive installation and removal. Corsair's cable-management system also allows for clean-looking builds and improved airflow.



Both the 400R and 500R have room for 240-mm dual radiators for compatibility with the new Hydro Series H100 Liquid CPU Cooler and modular liquid cooling systems. Many additional cooling options provide for safe, reliable operation of high-performance components. The Carbide Series 400R includes three fans, with a total of four 120-mm fan mounts and six 120-mm/140-mm mounts. The Carbide Series 500R has even more cooling flexibility, including removable/relocateable hard drive cages, a multi-channel fan controller, and a 200-mm fan mounted on the side panel mesh screen for extra GPU cooling power.



Both models provide eight PCI Express slots, making them suitable for multi-GPU setups. The Carbide Series 400R can accommodate graphics cards of up to 316 mm in length, and the 500R can accept extra-long cards up to 452 mm in length by removing one of the two hard drive cages. Both also offer native SSD support (2.5-inch drives), and the front panels have two USB 3.0 connectors (with internal connection) support as well as Firewire, headphone, and microphone connectors.



The Corsair Carbide Series 400R and 500R will be available worldwide in June. The 400R will be available for a US suggested retail price of $99, and the 500R will be available for a US suggested retail price of $139.
