The editors didn't like
Poor machining on some thumbscrew holes. Questionable sideways orientation design. Not enough room for two cooling radiators and two graphics cards simultaneously
No room in the roof for fans and a radiator
CPU power cutout missing from HDD cage
Top
Bottom and side panels are made of plastic
Apart from the above… nothing else
Final Thoughts
Micro-ATX chassis are not your everyday purchase
However if you're a modder
Enthusiast or high-end power user
And you want to go for a micro-ATX chas
Poor machining on some thumbscrew holes
Questionable sideways orientation design
Promotion of two-radiator capability when only one is practical
Not a lot of height for air coolers—120 mm at most
Only one set of feet—once you decide where to place them
That is it
No way for USB 2.0-only motherboard to use the front I/O
Large viewing window, Full size ATX power supply support, Endless cable management space, Ability to position whichever way you want due to the changeable Corsair Logo on the front!
Side panels could be stronger, Lack of 5.25″ drive bays will annoy some consumers, Poor support for large CPU coolers such as Noctua NHD15 etc (only max of 130mm clearance but it will be tight)
When Corsair first announced this case I thought wow, an alternative to the larger Air 540 but I was worried that smaller would mean less features. That certainly wasn't the case throughout the duration of this review but I think the main question that h...

PricingThe Corsair Air 240 was never going to be a cheap product with this level of build quality and specification, but at £70 inc. VAT / €70 Exc. VAT it is still very good value for money. This brings it in line with similar offerings from the likes of...
Abstract: Ever since its first product seminar in Malaysia, we've been seeing a fair share of gaming-centric hardware from Corsair, such as the Carbide Spec series , Cherry MX RGB keyboards, RM series PSUs, and more. Some recent examples include a PSU that is capab...
Abstract: Aujourd'hui nous nous retrouvons avec un cube qui nous vient directement de chez Corsair ! Le Carbide 240 Air, petit frère du 540 de la même gamme, conviendra donc parfaitement pour des configurations micro-ATX et mini-ITX. Un boîtier que l'on pourra mett...
L'Air 240 est un boitier Micro-ATX/Mini-ITX. Son look lui apporte de la personnalité avec une recherche de sobriété réussie. Il profite d'une architecture compartimentée avec une ventilation, assurée par trois ventilateurs de 120 mm, dédiée aux éléments l...
Design, Chassis, Installation dans deux sens, 3 ventilateurs, Prix
Finition moindre
Avec ce nouveau Cube, Corsair nous propose un second très bon produit dans la semaine. Très joli et relativement bien fait techniquement parlant, ce nouveau Cube au format Micro ATX semble tout avoir pour lui, d'autant qu'il arrive avec trois ventilateurs...
Montage (montage sans outil presque intégral), Performances en refroidissement, Améliorations apportées à la partie stockage
Peut s'avérer assez bruyant
Arrivé au terme de ce test, rappelons-en maintenant les principaux moments. Si la question de la filiation entre Air 540 et Air 240 ne mérite même pas d'être débattue (proximité du design et de l'appellation par exemple), celle des améliorations qui au...

Design compatto ed elegante, Qualità dei materiali, Gestione ottimale degli spazi interni, Installabile su tre lati, Prezzo
Nulla da segnalare
Il Corsair Carbide Air 240 ci ha incredibilmente stupiti: nonostante appartenga ad una serie spesso associata alla fascia medio bassa del mercato, è andato bel al di là delle nostre più rosee aspettative. Trattasi, come l'Obsidian 350D, di un case microA...

schickes Design, LED-Frontpanel mit kreativen Anpassungsmoglichkeiten, intuitive Software, USB Typ-C Port, gutes Innenraumkonzept, einfaches Kabelmanagement
Preis, keine Lüfter enthalten, keine Entkopplung der Laufwerke, Montage nur teilweise werkzeuglos
Das In Win 307 übernimmt die wesentlichen Merkmale – und damit sowohl Stärken als auch Schwächen – des als Vorlage dienenden 303 und erweitert diese um ein markantes und sehr gelungenes LED-Frontpanel. An diesem können wir uns kreativ austoben und unserem...
Mit seiner Ausstattung, der wertigen Fertigung, der ansprechenden Optik und nicht zuletzt mit dem zweigeteilten Innenraum inklusiv des Carbide-Air-Belüftungskonzepts eignet sich das Carbide Air 240 auf jeden Fall als Basis für einen Spiele-Mini. Der...
