Corsair Carbide Series 500R Mid Weiss PC case (CC-9011013-WW) (Personal Computers)

Customer Review

I've owned several housing. First, a case Xigmatek ATX Midi oN Midgard black. Then a Fractal Design Define R3 PC housing white. So my claim and the grumbling is growing.

First of the good.
* It has plenty of room to conveniently stow everything.
* Several fans are pre-installed and can be optionally expanded.
* Cable bushings (it could still above the board to cover his a few)
* The front has metal clips to attach it to the housing. All right. Finally does not terminate the use as a plastic nose 3x.
Actually quite OK

What bothers me:
* There is nowhere the need to have a 120mm hole spacing for the fan at the top. And it past nurr 1x 140mm! Thank Corsair.
* A cable hole in the TOP of the housing would be good. Because of the cabling of the upper fan to fan controller and so on.
* The air filter in the front läst be cleaned only by dismantling the complete front.
* The hard drives (same hardware) vibrate louder than the R3 housing (could be minimized somewhat by removing a clip in the holder. The plates are so pressed into the holder, the transfer this any vibration to the frame and into enclosur. Were always still too loud. So I placed under the felt and the attachment removed completely. Peace at last)

What is bad solved:
* The housing has indentations for bessenen cable management. Beautifully. Only where the SATA and power supply are plugged onto the hard drives, not there! The cables have very little space. Better to be obsolete angled connector InLine SATA power Y-cable SATA Bu to 2x SATA St gewinkkelt, 0.15m, 29683W. This really solved all bad.

Pleasantly surprised ...
I was from the support. The front USB now broke (Juli12). After 24 hours, I got an answer to my mail with order link. Two days later the part was there. Beautifully.
