We like that Corsair has tapped-in to front IO for its minor LED power draw. Unlike the PM02, the LEDs draw power from the front I/O without any discrete SATA or Molex cable, which is great-cable management is hard enough without dedicating a whole SATA cable to powering three LEDs. Like the Silverstone PM02, there’s an LED under the front panel for a subtle underglow. The curved front panel gives the 275R a distinct look compared to the sharp-edged 270R, but it also causes some problems that we’ll cover in the thermal section. As shown in the video, we were also able to see some painting imperfections around the borders of the front panel, although we did note that they’re of minimal concern. Coverage is fine, but the front panel is coated in primer-like brushed white paint that looks good but doesn’t perfectly match the paint used on the metal parts of the case. We requested the white version of the case, since it’s hard to find a good full-coverage color scheme that isn’t black. PSU: 180mm (up to 225mm when HDD cage removed) Top: Up to 240mm (with low-profile memory) Rear: 1 x 120mm (1 x SP120 Black included) As its name openly indicates, this is a half-step to something new.įront: 2 x 140mm or 3 x 120mm(1 x SP120 Black included)

As it differs from the 270R, that would more or less recap the 275R. The 275R is a refresh, then, and prioritizes tempered glass, a longer PSU shroud that doesn’t abruptly terminate, and rubber grommets. The Corsair 275R case ships in two varieties: $80 with tempered glass or $70 for acrylic - at which point the latter is essentially a 270R. Now the 275R is here, Corsair’s new and slightly fancier version with the option of a tempered glass side panel. The 570X was the main event in that article, but we also praised the 270R as a decent case with a launch price in the $60-$70 range-and we’ve continued to mention it favorably, since it’s gone on sale for as low as $50. The Corsair 270R won our Editor’s Choice award when we reviewed it back in 2016.
