00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:06,720
the Corsair carbide air 240 is essentially a mini version of the

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:08,360
carbide air 540 the air 240 is about 40%

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:14,440
smaller than its bigger brother and designed for matx and mitx motherboards

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,440
while maintaining the dual chamber

5
00:00:18,199 --> 00:00:25,039
design with the purchase of a qualifying Intel processor SSD or knok you could

00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:28,560
instantly win an Intel gaming Jersey and be entered in the draw for the ultimate

7
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:34,040
system click now to learn more once you get out of the box you'll notice the

8
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:35,800
pack material which is well hard foam

9
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:41,320
and bad in terms of the actual case we'll start from the front of the aggressively stylized housing or you'll

10
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:45,800
be greeted by a pair of power and reset buttons that feel fantastic and have

11
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:49,480
great Audible and tactile feedback along with these two buttons you'll find a

12
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:53,800
storage usage LED audio jacks and dual USB 3.0 ports once we come around to the

13
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:57,760
back of the unit we see a glorious amount of thumb screws which is the

14
00:00:55,359 --> 00:01:00,920
result of the removability of the top bottom and both side panels the left

15
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:05,479
side panel has a very large polycarbonate window which will allow you to show off all of your main

16
00:01:03,519 --> 00:01:09,000
components I'm very happy they went with a large window here as with even very

17
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:13,119
minimal Cable Management it is quite easy to make your rig look pretty

18
00:01:10,759 --> 00:01:17,360
amazing due to the decluttered dual chamber design next up is the right side

19
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:21,200
panel where an externally mounted fan filter is found which is actually quite

20
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:24,920
well secured by its magnets and even shaking the case like a crazy man didn't

21
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,960
dislodge it which is nice to see as I was worried about it falling off the

22
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:31,479
second I laid eyes on it both the left and right side panels featur these nice

23
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:35,000
thumb screws that stayed attached to the side panels when you removed them but

24
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:38,439
Corsair didn't bother to include this feature on the bottom and top panels

25
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:41,799
which is quite unfortunate as you will be needing to remove them from time to

26
00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:45,399
time first we have the bottom panel which will need to be removed in order

27
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:48,880
to access the filter which is built into the bottom panel that filter will be

28
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:52,040
filtering the three potential fans which can be mounted in the bottom of the case

29
00:01:50,439 --> 00:01:55,920
and your lowest mounted graphics card unit the bottom panel also doesn't come

30
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:59,280
with any feet installed but in the accessories bag you'll find four 3M

31
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:03,600
rubber feet which you can install yourself a fairly odd Choice from

32
00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:05,960
Corsair not to just pre-install them but I guess it would be really nice if you

33
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:11,280
wanted to have the case in a different orientation secondly we have the top panel which will also need to be removed

34
00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:15,519
due to its built-in fan filter which will filter your top three potential

35
00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:20,360
fans other than that the top panel is also used to house the SSD cage ssds are

36
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:23,959
quite easy to install in this cage due to its bendable Trace system but I would

37
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:27,200
have really liked to see a hot swab plate on the other side due to the

38
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:32,319
drives being installed somewhat externally it would have made the installation of them much more elegant

39
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,879
before we head on inside we have to check out the hard drive cage which is

40
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:39,560
accessed from the back of the unit just above the power supply I was happy to

41
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:43,879
see that the thumb screw of this little door stayed attached to the door once

42
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:46,959
you removed it although I do think it would be kind of cool if the door was on

43
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:50,239
a hinge instead of needing to be completely removed whenever you want to

44
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:53,519
open it the hard drives are installed in the same style as the ssds with the

45
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:57,560
bendable Trace solution and just like the ssds I would have liked to see a hot

46
00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:01,280
swap plate on the other side and yet again it would have made a much more

47
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:05,200
elegant process inside the back of the case we get to see the internal views of

48
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:09,000
those storage Bays the installed ssds aren't the easiest things to plug cables

49
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:12,799
into needing to come up from the bottom doesn't really make it that much better

50
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:16,319
but it's generally okay the hard drive cage is easy enough to use for hard

51
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:20,440
drives but also stands directly in the way of your CPU power cable and your CPU

52
00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:23,599
cutout on the back of your motherboard Corsair's solution for this is a thumb

53
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:28,280
screw which is included with the hard drive K making it removable and this

54
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:31,879
makes the CPU cutout very easy to access but doesn't solve the problem for the

55
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:36,680
CPU power run issue I was able to run the CPU power cable from my Corsair

56
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:40,319
rm850 behind the cage and mashed the cage back into its Spot while pinning it

57
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:44,200
down with one hand and installing the thumb screw which ultimately held it in

58
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:47,720
place with the other this worked but only because the cable was flat and I

59
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:51,000
would never actually recommend you do this what I would have liked to see

60
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:55,200
Corsair do was cut a hole in the hard drive cage that lines up with the CPU

61
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:59,360
power cut out this would allow you to opt out of installing a third hard drive

62
00:03:57,239 --> 00:04:03,720
in exchange for a clean and easy CPU power cable run instead of the current

63
00:04:01,519 --> 00:04:08,280
Solutions which are messy power cable run and a hard drive bay or clean power

64
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:12,000
cable run and no hard drive bay neither of those Solutions sound like a very fun

65
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:15,480
compromise to me there are plenty of cable management loops on the back but I

66
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:18,919
didn't bother use them I'm not super worried about having a cable Nest back

67
00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:22,919
there as it isn't exactly blocking any crucial airflow and you won't really

68
00:04:21,359 --> 00:04:26,960
have to look at it due to the awesome dual chamber design then we finally come

69
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:30,440
to the inside of the main chamber where again due to the dual chamber design we

70
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:33,759
see a very clean and greatl looking aesthetic especially when viewed through

71
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:38,600
the side panel window it would be hard to make this build not look fantastic

72
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:41,919
due to how naturally clean the case appears if you opt to go with an AO

73
00:04:40,479 --> 00:04:45,440
liquid cooling unit you will be likely installing it in the front due to

74
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:49,600
restricted space above the motherboard limiting you to just fans without a

75
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:52,600
radiator or just a radiator without fans that being said the front of the case is

76
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,039
close enough to your CPU socket that pretty much any cooler should work and

77
00:04:54,680 --> 00:05:00,160
while it's possible to install a liquid cooler with tubes on the bottom making

78
00:04:57,919 --> 00:05:03,639
it work would kind of sa rifice aesthetic a lot and it wouldn't really

79
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:07,320
fit very well either this is what led me to notice something with an matx

80
00:05:05,479 --> 00:05:11,280
motherboard which is what I expect a lot of people to install in this case due to

81
00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:15,240
its size and an AI liquid cooler in the optimal position having the tubes at the

82
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:18,759
top you really can't access as many fan spots as I had hoped you're able to

83
00:05:16,919 --> 00:05:22,600
install one fan in the top with the rest being obstructed by your AO AO liquid

84
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:26,000
coolers tubing and it's likely that none of your bottom fans can be installed to

85
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:30,240
either the radiator or the headers on the motherboard instructing those next

86
00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:34,479
up we have the two 80 mm fans in the back which I don't expect many people to

87
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:38,800
be rushing to fill 80mm fans are notorious for being audibly annoying of

88
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:42,800
course there are exceptions to that but because of this I very rarely see them

89
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:48,759
being implemented that leaves us with the 120 mm case fan in the back of the

90
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:54,400
unit which is going to essentially mostly cool your cables so effectively

91
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:58,600
with a dual rad AIO liquid cooler and an matx board you will likely have your

92
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:03,880
radiator fans and one fan in the top of the case but this thing is called an air

93
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:07,240
240 and if you installed an air cooler you can avoid some of these issues and

94
00:06:05,479 --> 00:06:10,520
be able to fill the top of the case with fans another thing that deserves its

95
00:06:08,919 --> 00:06:14,960
time in the spotlight is the graphics card Installation System which is very

96
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:19,440
easy to use due to its hinge mechanism and the fact that it doesn't require any

97
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:23,919
screws at all due to the ability to install an matx motherboard and the fact

98
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:27,440
that the case is quite long you'll be able to use this Installation System to

99
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:33,039
plug in up to two graphics cards at a maximum length of 290 mm and last but

100
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:36,800
not least is the case blackout the HD audio does have a little bit of color on

101
00:06:35,039 --> 00:06:40,800
the end but all of the other included cables are completely black and the rest

102
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:44,960
of the case is completely black as well including the soft rubber grommets this

103
00:06:43,039 --> 00:06:49,000
will allow the case to suit virtually any color scheme you throw at it and

104
00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:53,280
this yet again caters to the great aesthetic of the a240 speaking of great

105
00:06:51,759 --> 00:06:57,800
