Corsair’s latest gaming enclosures are some of the most affordable the vendor has ever manufactured. Available in regular and silent editions, prices of the Carbide Series 100R mid-tower chassis start at just $49.

You son’t get the feeling that these cases were so affordable judging by their design and feature-set, which includes tool-free drive installation, dual USB 3.0 ports at the front, cable routing behind the motherboard tray and mounting holes for SSDs. There’s even a windowed side panel on offer that allows you to showcase the internal hardware of your rig.

The side panel is featured on the standard edition, whereas the silent version features foam panels that reduce the amount of noise emanating from the machine.  The Carbide Series 100R accommodates ATX, micro-ATX, and mini-ITX motherboards as well as ATX power supplies. Two fans are included, and there are mounting holes through which you can install additional fans – two 120 mm at the top and two 140/120mm at the front – as needed.

The enclosure has seven expansion slots, two 5.25-inch drive bays and a HDD drive cage that can fit four 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch drives. Maximum video card length in the lower slots is 275mm, and cards 414mm can be installed in the top slots. CPU coolers 150mm in height can fit in the chassis with ease.

The Corsair Series 100R standard version is set to retail for $49, while the silent edition will set users back $59. With options at this price point few and far between, the Series 100R is ideal for gamers looking to buy a gaming chassis that offers a decent amount of features on a budget.

One of the best mid-tower enclosures available in the market is getting a facelift today as NZXT announce the Razer edition of the H440. The special edition comes with a green on black design scheme and features Razer’s logo at the front and on the sides of the enclosure.

The USB ports, power button, LED underglow and the rear I/O LED lighting are now coated green to highlight the Razer branding. The side window is tinted, and the shroud that hides the power unit now features a Razer logo. There’s also a hexagonal mesh, and the exterior of the H440 now has a matte black paint finish.

Other features remain the same: the H440 comes with three 120mm fans at the front as standard, along with a single 140mm fan at the back. There are dust filters at the front and bottom of the chassis, and provision for fitting large radiators. The case can easily accommodate mini-ITX, micro-ATX and ATX motherboards, and can slot in video cards 294mm in length with the hard drive cage intact, and 406mm cards after removing the bay. CPU coolers 180mm can fit in the enclosure.

The Razer edition H440 is now available for $149, which is $30 more than what the standard version of the chassis costs. That is a premium for a few minor design tweaks, but then again, anything associated with the Razer brand has commanded a premium. And considering the strong userbase the brand has, it is likely that this version of the H440 will sell a lot. While this isn’t the first chassis associated with Razer, as the brand unveiled a modular platform at the start of the year. It looks like it may be a while before the brand can make Project Christine available to users, though. Until such time, there is the NZXT H440.

In Win is known for bold designs, as seen in the D Frame and the Tou, but this time around the vendor is catering to a more mainstream audience with the launch of the 707 and the 703. Both enclosures feature a more subdued design and do not contain any exotic materials in their construction.

That doesn’t mean that there isn’t anything noteworthy in the 707 and the 703, as both enclosures offer a host of features. The mid-term 703 is constructed out of SECC steel and can accommodate motherboards of ATX and micro-ATX form factors. Users can install video cards as long as 408mm and CPU coolers up to 170mm in height without any issues, and the case also comes with an external 5.25-inch drive bay. Internally, the 703 can slot in two 5.25-inch drives, two 2.5-inch drives and either four 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch drives.

Front I/O includes one USB 3.0 port, one USB 2.0 port and HD audio connectors. In terms of ventilation, the In Win 703 features mounting holes for two 120mm fans at the front, one 120mm fan at the back and a 120mm fan at the bottom. System builders looking to install a liquid-cooled solution can easily install the radiator block thanks to cut-outs.

The In Win 703 is available in black and red color variants, with both versions featuring an acrylic side panel that allows users to showcase internal hardware.

The In Win 707 is the full-tower offering, and shares the same design as its smaller sized sibling. Featured on the 707 are three external 5.25-inch drive bays, the ability to accommodate E-ATX, ATX and micro-ATX motherboards as well as the inclusion of mounting slots for installing up to nine fans if needed. The larger chassis can fit in CPU coolers up to 190mm in height, as well as video cards 365mm in length.

The 707 comes in two variants as well, a black and a white edition, although the differences lie in more than just the color scheme. The black version accommodates one more fan, and can fit in taller CPU coolers, although it does not come with the sound insulating foam found in the white edition. The sound insulation foam means that the white variant does not have an acrylic side window.

All that is needed now is the availability and pricing information, which In Win will be announcing shortly.
