Corsair Graphite 380T Review

Conclusion
| General | + | - | |
| The Graphite 380T is the latest ITX solution from Corsair and the case was first shown at Computex 2014. It features a rather unconventional design with unexpected features such as two very easy to remove side panels. Other than that there is a top handle, a fan controller and great versatility when it comes to cooling. Apart from that this case is available in three different colors, which are black, white and yellow. |

| Manufacturing quality / Ergonomics | + | - | |
| The build quality is on very good level and Corsair has certainly not been saving money on materials, therefore there are for example no sharp edges and corners at all. Installing components inside the 380T is a rather simple and straightforward since there is a little bit more space than what you get with other ITX cases. The painting, internally and externally is very well done and quit hard to scratch. As usual we appreciate the presence of the huge cut-out for the backplate for easy installation of heatsinks and the many dust filters placed on the mesh. For our setup we used an all-in-one liquid cooling solution with a 240mm radiator that perfectly fits on the side of the case. Regarding the storage unit we would like to find more sleds, especially for 3.5" drives. The power supply placement is easy accessible but unfortunately it is only compatible with PSU with a maximum length of 160mm. | - High quality materials - Painting - Internal space - Watercooling options |

| Design / Layout | + | - | |
| Of course, design is always a matter of taste and you either love the Corsair Graphite 380T and find it sexy or you simply like the looks. The Corsair Graphite 380T comes with a praticle handle, that has been integrated into the top the case and this feature makes it paractical for LAN parties. Another addition are the LED backlit fans as well as the additional LED to show off the internals in general. | - Bundle - LEDs - Fan controller | ||
| Recommendation | + | - | |
| On Geizhals, the Corsair Graphite 380T can be found for 130€ plus shipping costs. It is available in three different colors, black, yellow or white. Despite the fact, that the price tag is quite steep, we believe that the cooling solution, the high-quality materials and all the other features justify the price tag of this small cube case from Corsair. | -
