Corsair Fires Shots at the $99 Case Market - 400C & 400Q - CES 2016

2016-01-07
welcome to the Coursera booth at CES 2016 we have got a couple of case products to show you guys starting with the carbide clear 400 C in the c is for corsair no it's not it's for clear huge thanks to Squarespace for sending Lynas media group to CES 2016 check out the link in the video description to learn more about Squarespace so what they've done here is they've basically taken the concept of an optical drive this computer case which is not the first time we've seen it but they've gone and they've tried to find what they think is a better balance in terms of features and size than what's already on the market so the 400 C allows a full ATX motherboard it's got their what I personally think is just stunning we first saw it on the 760 T they're they're full glass door with the removable hinge style thing on the side here and then they've allowed you to effectively gem an incredible amount of hardware in here so the power supply is covered by a nice by the way removable shroud and then there's another shroud piece here that can also be removed if you want to cover up your cable management so you can see the way that they've got it done here makes it look really clean or you can take it out if you want to be able to pop in a triple 120 millimeter radiator in the front to go along with that you can put another dual 120 millimeter radiator in the top for a total of five 120 millimeter rads and what is a mid tower case in fact if you're going custom liquid cooling it's possible no I think we'd have interference on the back but still very very impressive on the top you've got there awesome magnetic removable fan filter system going on here and in terms of air flow there's basically no restriction because while the front panel is the sort of Corsair signature I mean we're talking since the 800 D flat black box besides themselves are completely full of air vents that are almost an inch off the front of the case so you're going to have ample airflow in any situation now there's actually two versions of this case there's the C with the C 4 Corsair and then there's actually the 400 q the carbide quiet 400 Q where the Q is for Corsair so really different from the other one and the only difference is here are that the top is now also removable but not a fan filter because it's supposed to be quiet you're not supposed to fill it with fans but you can because you can take the top off and on the underside of this you got magnets you can go ahead and mount that puppy on there as well as noise deadening material now this is unusual but the Q and the C both actually cost exactly the same and normally you charge extra for the window the reason for that is that the Q has noise deadening high density rubber material on all of the internal panels and that costs money just the same as an acrylic or plexi window does so you can see in this one they haven't gone quite as balls-to-the-wall in terms of all the liquid cooling radiators and all that stuff a more modest configuration but that's what you'd expect the one cool thing about this is it gives you a bit of a better look at that cable management hole with this bottom shroud here I don't think I can remove this but Oh hold on oh no there's a there's a note there's a screw in the back so we won't pull too hard on it which leads us Ben I guess to the last corsair case that we're showcasing and this is the carbide series spec alpha personally not a fan I think the word that they've asked me to use is polarizing when I think what I said was repugnant or something like that it's got this angular front that kind of you know towers over you menacingly except that it's except that it's kind of small but it does have some positive things going for it the aesthetic can be customized the colors can actually be changed very easily we've got two versions of it over here so there's like a red and white there's a black and gray there's also going to be a black and yellow and then any number of other colors if a system integrator or whoever else wants it it's got built-in fan control and it's got you know the usual things you'd expect from Corsair so the mesh front for good airflow the side window for you know nice tall CPU coolers if you're into that sort of thing or you know liquid cooling compatibility if you're into that sort of thing let me know in the comments am I totally wrong is this the new black I do genuinely want to hear from you guys I mean surely someone likes it apparently this is a big hit from the Latin American and the Chinese resellers they're like super stoked on this so I want to hear from you guys so thanks for checking out our first video here from the Corsair suite on the 400 C 400 q remember the C and Q are both for Corsair as well as the spec alpha I believe this thing goes by thanks for checking us out and a huge thanks to whoops this one Squarespace for allowing us to be here at CES 2016 remember guys Squarespace build it
