Corsair is announcing the newest members of the Carbide Series family of enclosures, with the 100R and Carbide Series 100R Silent mid-tower cases.

The Carbide 100R standard edition with side window

The Carbide Series 100R and Carbide Series 100R Silent will be among Corsair's lowest-cost enclosures at $49.99 and $59.99 each, but they are attempting to avoid "the look of many low-cost PC cases, instead offering an elegant aesthetic that will appeal to gamers, hobbyist PC builders, and system integrators". Along with expected features such as SSD mounts and front-panel USB 3.0, the enclosures also feature tool-free drive mounts (four 3.5" drives and four 2.5" drives), up to five fan mounts (and two included fans), and support for long graphics cards.

Inside the Carbide 100R

While the standard version of the Carbide Series 100R features a side panel window and upper fan vents, the 100R Silent version features sound dampening with no opening on the top, and no window on the side panel to further reduce noise.

  • Tool-free mounting of hard drives and optical drives
  • Dual USB 3.0 front panel ports
  • Direct airflow path to top GPU
  • Plenty of room for large graphics cards and power supplies
  • Cable routing channel behind motherboard tray

  • Front: 2 x 140/120mm
  • Top: 2 x 120mm
  • Rear: 120mm (included)
  • Two 5.25” drive bays
  • Four 3.5”/2.5” drive bays with trays that support hard drives and SSDs
  • Seven expansion slots
  • Supports ATX, Micro ATX, and Mini ITX motherboards and ATX power supplies

The Carbide Series 100R and Carbide Series 100R Silent PC cases have an MSRP of $49.99 and $59.99, respectively, and will be available in Q2 2015.
