The Crystal 280X RGB offers more than an extra helping of tempered glass, providing excellent construction a roomy interior for a trouble-free build. This dual-chamber design has advantages which are all the more apparent during construction of the system...

The 280X is smaller than a mid-tower, but larger than almost any mini-ITX case, which limits its market heavily. For users that specifically want to go as small as possible, this is the wrong choice. It's a better option for users that just happen to have...

Corsair's Crystal 280X RGB microATX case isn't for everybody. At its $160 list price (or even at $110 without the RGB LED fans and hub inside), this is an unabashedly high-end chassis in a market that's become more and more focused on well-under-$100 opt...
Sometimes you get that feeling that something is done right from A to Z, I have that feeling with the Crystal Series 280X. I like the quality, the looks, and aesthetics plus what it offers in features and space to work in. And sure, now everybody is willi...

None that I found
I think that the 280X is a great addition to Corsair's Crystal series. Again, the Crystal Series is the more flashy series in Corsair's line of cases. I think that the Micro-ATX form factor is coming back, especially since at most people are doing single-...
