00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:16,640
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the Corsair carbide 200r this is now the

2
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:21,439
well you know I shouldn't say lowest end case although it is the most value

3
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:27,519
oriented in Corsair's lineup coming in at a pretty wicked price well under 200

4
00:00:24,359 --> 00:00:30,279
or rather well under a 100 bucks but

5
00:00:27,519 --> 00:00:35,600
trying to still continue to deliver Corsair's trademark gaming oriented

6
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:41,640
features so we're going to go ahead and spend a little bit of time on the

7
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:43,520
outside of the case by peeling away all

8
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:47,680
of the information that I am able to find about the case so easy builds uh

9
00:00:46,399 --> 00:00:52,399
the only time you'll need a screwdriver is to install the motherboard something

10
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:56,440
something easy ah here yes if we remove the shipping information then we can

11
00:00:54,359 --> 00:01:01,840
read it like this ha oh man this something Tower form

12
00:00:59,399 --> 00:01:05,680
factor is called Compact and USB 3 and oh this is just an awful awful

13
00:01:04,159 --> 00:01:10,960
experience of trying to operate the packaging so we're just going to jump

14
00:01:07,479 --> 00:01:13,400
right into it and open this bad boy

15
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:18,720
up I've been asked a number of times in the past why I insist on Flipping The

16
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:22,799
Box over to extract the case from it rather than just cutting open the bottom

17
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:27,680
of the box and the reason for that is actually that I usually store the cases

18
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:31,439
in a big pile so if I can't keep track of which ones have the top cut open and

19
00:01:29,439 --> 00:01:36,479
which ones have the bottom cut open at some point I will open up or I'll pick

20
00:01:34,799 --> 00:01:40,360
up a box and the thing will fall out the bottom and that'll be a bad experience

21
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:45,920
for everyone now this case is a low-end case it is lighter but I'd say Corsair

22
00:01:43,759 --> 00:01:50,200
probably could stand to use a little bit thicker a little bit more rugged foam on

23
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:54,439
this one I love to see soft foam but with these value oriented products I

24
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:59,439
understand why we're using a molded hard foam because it is a lot less expensive

25
00:01:57,079 --> 00:02:04,680
on the packaging side now it looks like I've got the case upside down right now

26
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:08,840
which is okay because the plastic wrap it looks like it's also on upside down

27
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:11,680
so I don't know if that's uh something that happens just with the sample cases

28
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:16,120
or something that happens with all of them but there you go why don't we start at the bottom of the case since that's

29
00:02:14,519 --> 00:02:21,840
what we're doing anyway we have amount for a 120 or a 140 mm fan rubber feet

30
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:27,599
keep it from slipping around and you've got a fan filter that is easily whoopsy

31
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:32,560
daisies easily removable for the bottom mounted power supply fan let's go ahead

32
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:36,480
and flip the case back around to the orientation that it's supposed to live

33
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:41,640
in and we'll go have a look at the front of the case two USB 3.0 front panel

34
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:45,319
ports headphone microphone reset switch and power switch as well as a power

35
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:48,599
indicator LED wouldn't mind seeing this reset switch a little bit further away

36
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:52,239
from the power switch but as long as you're careful you shouldn't have too

37
00:02:49,879 --> 00:02:59,519
much trouble with that three 5 and 1/4 in bays and looks like not a removable

38
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:00,599
front piece here however the ventilation

39
00:02:59,519 --> 00:03:08,040
is going to going to come from these holes on the side and on the side of

40
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:09,280
well the other side on the side panel

41
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:14,799
this is get it's a good thing we have video to go along with this cuz if I was a radio personality explaining this I'd

42
00:03:13,159 --> 00:03:18,879
be like they you'd be like what what are there vents on the side are there fans

43
00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:25,720
on the side are there like children on the side anyway so there's two 120 mm or

44
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:28,519
140 mm fan mounts above the CPU area and

45
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:34,519
the GPU area on the top of the case you find ah this is pretty much the most

46
00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:38,640
practical configuration for these holes so you can do two 140s and they'll be

47
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:42,560
right up against each other and then what Corsair's done is they've moved the

48
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:48,480
220s a little bit away from the motherboard tray to give you clearance

49
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:51,000
for the vrm cooler the uh CPU block or

50
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:56,120
heat sink or whatever else is going on in order to make it so that you can

51
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:58,280
install an h100 dual Radiator in here

52
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:02,640
without interfering with any of the other components inside your system so

53
00:04:00,439 --> 00:04:08,439
while it looks a little bit sort of off center because it is when you have dual

54
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:11,239
120s in there it's again very very

55
00:04:08,439 --> 00:04:15,439
practical as as far as ways to approach that goes this is actually surprisingly

56
00:04:13,519 --> 00:04:20,320
uh surprisingly thick side panel material for a value oriented case like

57
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:25,320
this and the entire interior of the case is uh black painted which is awesome so

58
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:30,560
I'm just going to take off both side panels here so that we can get a really good look at things they've also got

59
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:36,199
these awesome little rubber grommets these are great for noise isolation and

60
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:39,680
what those do is they easily remove and then they can be installed in the

61
00:04:38,199 --> 00:04:43,800
different holes if those are the ones that you'd prefer to use so you see that

62
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:48,400
if you want to use 140 mm fans you just move all those around and you'll get

63
00:04:45,479 --> 00:04:53,479
that same noise dampening uh no matter what size of fan you decide to use now

64
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:57,960
that we're inside we can see oh this is convenient look at that they've actually

65
00:04:55,479 --> 00:05:05,280
they're assuming you're going to install ITX M8 TX which I believe is sort of

66
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:07,880
over to here uh or uh yes these two are

67
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:11,880
removable actually let's see are they yeah some of them are removable this is

68
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:16,280
removable this is removable and this is removable and you better remove this one

69
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:20,160
unless you're installing an matx board I wish they hadn't pre-installed that so

70
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:24,039
be really careful guys that'll short out an ATX board but uh they've

71
00:05:22,199 --> 00:05:27,600
pre-installed the whole the uh the standoffs you need in order to install

72
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:32,759
your motherboard you got a nice big CPU cutout 120 mm rear fan which is as

73
00:05:30,919 --> 00:05:37,479
compatible with a water cooler as these top 100 as these top 120 F mounts and

74
00:05:35,639 --> 00:05:41,520
you can see the way they've oriented the top 120s actually leaves room for a

75
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:48,440
radiator here as well so you could potentially do a single 120 a dual 120

76
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:52,120
and then an additional single 120 down here if you actually wanted to you could

77
00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:56,639
put a pretty Beast water cooling setup in this case in spite of its price the

78
00:05:54,400 --> 00:06:01,800
Tess 5 and 1/4 in bays are handled just with simple um tension mounted uh see

79
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,400
there's little Clips in there that are going to clip into the side of the drive

80
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:08,240
so you just pull those out when you want to slide the drive out no problems

81
00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:13,360
whatsoever the front cooling is done by a single 120 mm fan so it should get

82
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:17,960
ample air flow from these uh from these vents on either side of it you've got a

83
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:21,319
couple of SSD mounts actually Four SSD mounts oh that's outstanding four SSD

84
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:25,000
mounts here that are just kind of pressure mounted as well so they

85
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,800
shouldn't uh yes they clip in from the back right there so they're not going

86
00:06:26,639 --> 00:06:32,800
anywhere even in shipping and then you've got four 3 and 1/2 in drives this

87
00:06:30,199 --> 00:06:36,520
is actually a very smart internal layout this is completely custom chassis here

88
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:40,000
so I'm going to lay it down for a second or just a little bit and show you guys

89
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:43,800
the cable management options so cable management is going to be done here for

90
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:47,840
actually for nothing because the power supply will be there here for everything

91
00:06:45,759 --> 00:06:51,360
that you're going to run up here 24 pin uh Power for your Optical drives all the

92
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:55,240
power for your hard drives and all that good stuff and then um well I think

93
00:06:53,840 --> 00:07:00,199
that's pretty self-explanatory here's all your front panel connectors

94
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:02,360
including something that I am not 100%

95
00:07:00,199 --> 00:07:05,759
sure ah yes okay so they've got a nice flat ribbon cable for the front USB 3

96
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:12,280
that's actually the first time I've seen that that looks really sharp and is going to be able to bend much tighter

97
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:15,120
see that than usb3 cables on other motherboards that I've seen in the past

98
00:07:13,919 --> 00:07:19,639
what's cool about that is it's going to make your cable management look quite a

99
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:24,720
bit tidier again in spite of the fact that this is a very value oriented case

100
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:28,440
now let's go ahead and pop out this I'm sorry for being in my living

101
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:32,759
room here guys but I really don't have much of a choice right now I got to get

102
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:38,720
this case unbox simulated so here we go some cable ties

103
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:44,240
for cable management some uh mounting screws for fans and whatnot radiators

104
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:48,599
more likely uh mounting screws for the motherboard and all likelihood and

105
00:07:46,599 --> 00:07:52,840
mounting screws for optical drives in all likelihood mounting screws for fans

106
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:57,280
oh and more rubber grommets in case you lose some I guess cool good thinking

107
00:07:55,280 --> 00:08:01,199
Corsair and it looks like yeah these are clip-ins too so see there's uh there's

108
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:06,840
clip-in pieces right here the way they've done the yeah if you stand there it's not good there we go uh the way

109
00:08:04,479 --> 00:08:10,400
they've done the tooless on this case is actually outstanding so this will clip

110
00:08:08,479 --> 00:08:14,800
in and then if you want more security you can screw it in here without much

111
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:19,840
difficulty so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at what may

112
00:08:17,039 --> 00:08:24,960
be the new sort of lightweight uh lightweight champ for for Value gaming
