I have to say this is one of the best cases I have reviewed ever at Pro-Clockers. The cube-style chassis structure is something that is dominated by the likes of Lian Li, Mountain Mods, Cubitek and a few others. To have one, you will likely need a hefty s...

Abstract: We've explored many unique PC cases over the years, most recently having reviewed the Silverstone Raven RVZ01, In Win tou, and Xigmatek Nebula so far in 2014, yet one model has continued to elude us. First unveiled at Computex 2013, Corsair's Carbide Air ...
Dual chamber design, Lots of room for cooling, both air and water, Large side panel window, Easy installation
None that I found
There only have been a few cases that after reviewing them I think to myself there really is nothing wrong with this case. That is exactly how I feel about the Corsair Carbide Series Air 540 case. Corsair just did it right with this case. The dual chambe...

Clean looks, Great airflow and water cooling support, Price
A lot of plastic, No fan controller
The Corsair Air 540 costs £129 in the UK with Corsair recently adding an Artic White and Silver variants. For the price the Corsair Air 540 packs a lot of features that you'd more expect to find in a full tower case, and it looks amazing. One great featur...
The Carbide Air 540 is an inventive chassis that like other cases designed by Corsair is well built, has excellent aesthetics and plenty of room for expansion. It is also ideally setup to accommodate multiple internal radiators for water cooling an...
Abstract: The Corsair Carbide Air 540 is a very unique case. It fits a full size ATX motherboard and up to four dual-slot graphics cards but it's shorter than you might expect thanks to a design choice that splits the active components from the mostly passive ...
Separate, side-by-side motherboard/PSU zones for streamlined cooling, 2.5-inch drive cage, Utilitarian-but-efficient design
No fans in the PSU chamber, No mesh under 3.5-inch drive sleds, Just two 3.5-inch bays
The Air 540 is a uniquely designed dual-chamber PC chassis that takes an unusual approach to cooling and cabling. Just mind the wiring job ahead of you, and don't plan on installing many 3.5-inch hard drives. ...
The CORSAIR Carbide series get a new member in the lineup with this 540 AIR Cube enclosure. And what a member it is. Brilliant cooling performance coupled with ease of installation and this complete package retails at a respectable price level. While ...

My current computer desk has three shelves: the bottom, which is 19H x 20W x 24L, the middle, which is only 17H x 20W x 16L and, of course, the top is smaller. Most mid-tower cases are about 18" high, so I thought I was right on the money, but I was wro...
