In the lineup of computer cases from Corsair, ARGB cases of the iCue series, perforated Airflow system units, and extremely strict Hi-End Obsidian models stand out primarily. Against their background, the Corsair Carbide series looks like a kind of experimental testing ground where the company’s engineers can test new ideas, abandoning unsuccessful design solutions. Therefore, each member of this family is visually completely different from its relatives and often has some unique feature, such as dense sound insulation or perforated panels.


In most cases, we are talking about spacious Midi Tower cases designed for installing large video cards, tall tower coolers and liquid cooling systems. Depending on the specific TUF model, the number of standard fans can reach 4 pieces, which in itself greatly simplifies the assembly and installation of the final system. Mandatory elements of the program are a hidden wiring system, an inspection window and a front panel with a modern port configuration.

From a design point of view, there is no unity in the series: one case may be richly decorated with lighting, while in another you will have to look for LEDs with a magnifying glass. For example, the conventional Carbide OMEGA is a futuristic case for gamers with asymmetrical panels, accentuated RGB backlighting and abundant perforation for better ventilation. At the same time, its brother Carbide 678C is an extremely strict and practical case in the Fractal Design style with high-quality noise insulation, optional snow-white panels, a tray for massive E-ATX boards and a modern set of connectors.
