White is very much the new black, it seems. Corsair’s leading the snowy charge, but we’ve also got a Level 10 case in the labs that’s similarly bright and glaring. We kinda like it as a change, but if you have a look at any of your white goods at home...

Where you decide your hardware gets to live can say a lot about any build. A case with a huge window means you likely want to show off that $400 GPU you have sitting inside, otherwise it goes unnoticed. Others of you close it up tight; you don’t want...

Overall this case was pretty sweet! I honestly didn't like the way the case appeared out of the box, but it did grow on me over time. I absolutely love the white and black contrast now. I'm considering making this my home theater case in the living ro...

There is something about white Corsair products that makes us go all fuzzy and warm, that mix of build quality and the subtle sexiness that a splash of white can provide (keep it clean). So with a warm fuzzy feeling not being caused by Emma Willis for...
First things first, when we looked up the price of the 500R we thought there was a mistake as its priced at just £86. All of us here thought it would easily be around the £100 mark, its not very often a Corsair products leaves us thinking "OMG that's chea...

I'm becoming increasingly convinced that you just can't really go wrong buying a Corsair enclosure. The issue with the Carbide 500R is that it has to compete with two other Corsair cases in the same price bracket, or for not much more money you can get Ro...

Neoseeker's look at the Carbide series of cases from Corsair continues with its latest iteration, the 500R. In comparison to the rest of the cases designed by Corsair, the 500R is essentially a hybrid between the 400R and 600T. This gives it more featu...
Corsair now has multiple award winning cases under its belt, so when it comes to designing a chassis for the mainstream market they have a lot of experience to fall back on. This is clearly evident when looking at the 500R, as it includes several featu...

The Corsair Carbide Series features two models so far, the 400R and the 500R. We reviewed the 400R a couple of months ago, and it proved to carry a terrific cost/benefit ratio, deserving our Golden Award. Let’s see if its brother, the 500R, follows the...
The Corsair Carbide Series 500R is an upgraded version of the 400R. For between USD 30 and USD 40 more, you get a 200 mm side fan, a three-step fan speed controller, support for a 240 mm radiator, air filter on the top panel, hard drive bays in a two-c...

The 500R from Corsair promises even more flexibility over the 400R. It adds a 200mm fan mounted on the side panel’s mesh screen for extra GPU cooling, a multi-channel fan controller, and removable and relocatable hard drive cages. The ability for the...
Overall, the Corsair Carbide 500R screamed first class, starting with the white/black color scheme to help it stand apart from the swamped, predominately black, case market. The addition of the USB 3.0, fan controller, and the LED light switch are al...

Corsair has seen the world just what they are made of since they introduced the Obsidian 800D. They seems to not care much about the competition as cases after the 800D like the Obsidian 650D and the Graphite 600T saw just able the same success. This...

Being pushed as a performance case, the Corsair Carbide 500R certainly lives up to its billing. Airflow is key and while the front intake fans are restricted by its filter as much as a typical case, the substantial 20 cm side fan offsets this easily. Moun...
