The Corsair Carbide Air 240 was a pleasure to work in, its big brother, the Air 540 – is one of the most fun to build in cases that I've experienced; this one lived up to its name. With the split compartment design, large side window, easy cable managemen...

An eye-catching, clever compact PC case, the Carbide Air 240 is built to take plenty of drives, full-length video cards, and loads of cooling for Mini-ITX and MicroATX builds. Read More…...
