  • Il Carbide 500R completa nel migliore dei modi la fascia entry level dei case prodotti da Corsair, che mette così a disposizione dell'utenza un prodotto che colma qualche piccola lacuna riscontrabile sul 400R.La presenza di un fanbus multicanale, di u...

  • Und wieder ist es Corsair gelungen ein Gehäuse mit neuen Ideen herauszubringen. Das Layout des Gehäuses sieht einfach fantastisch aus und ist für jedermann gerade in weiß/schwarz ein absoluter Hingucker; egal ob das Gehäuse unter oder......

  • White is beautiful! Ok, es ist Geschmackssache, aber für unseren Geschmack trifft das auch beim Carbide 500R zu. Und für alle anderen gibt es das Case ja auch in komplett schwarz. Corsair hat es, und man mag es ja kaum sagen, auch bei seinem Mittelkla...

  • Innenraum → Kabelmanagementsystem, Toolless Montage von Hardware, zwei Lufterplatze, herausnehmbare Staubfilter, Stabilitat, Design, USB 3.0, Ablagefach im Deckel, leise Lufter
  • Gerauschdamammung durch Einsatz von Meshgittern nur bedingt moglich
  • Das Corsair Series 500R Gehause sieht nicht nur gut aus, sondern hat auch viel zu bieten: Neben den zahlreichen Lufterplatzen stehen dem Anwender ein Kabelmanagementsystem und u.a. zwei USB 3.0-Ports zur Verfugung. Zudem ist der Einsatz von SSD-Laufwerken...

  • Nach dem Carbide Series 400R kann auch das etwas besser ausgestattete Geschwistermodell 500R weitgehend überzeugen. Es bietet die Tugenden der größeren Modelle wie das hervorragende Kabelmanagement und die werkzeuglose Montage von 5,25- und 3,5-Zoll-La...

  • Abstract:  Behuizingen mogen zich nog altijd in een flinke belangstelling verheugen. Ook het aantal fabrikanten is nog bovengemiddeld; waar andere segmenten een slinkend aantal aanbieders zien, komen er nog regelmatig nieuwe kastenmerken bij. We zien dan ook nog ...

  • De Corsair Carbide 500R is, laat dat gezegd zijn, een prima kast. Netjes afgewerkt, met handige vondsten als het eenvoudig verwijderbare bovenpaneel en de eenvoudige plaatsing van harddisks. Er is voldoende interne ruimte en ook de voorzieningen voor k...

  • Corsair Carbide 500R больше подходит для создания игровых компьютеров, чем 400R, и прежде всего — благодаря возможности установки практически любых современных видеокарт. Правда, при этом количество дисков будет ограничено тремя, но и этого многим владель...

  • Abstract:  Выпускавшиеся до последнего времени корпуса Corsair хоть и отличались весьма достойными характеристиками, но относились исключительно к ценовой категории свыше $150. С выходом моделей серии Carbide аудитория потенциальных покупателей корпусов Corsair ради...
