9.2The 60 USD/EUR price-range is probably the most crowded and hard fought case segments of the market. Corsair has successfully moved from their high-end Obsidian cases down to the high midrange with the Carbide family and, now, to the entry-level midrange with the Carbide 200R. That said, the most affordable case from Corsair does strip things down to the functional basics, but that is to be expected of a case in this price range. All the features within the case are extremely well done and do, at times, bear the genes of the larger, more expensive variants. The hard drive mounting mechanism for both 3.5" and 2.5" variants is awesome to use, and the optical drive bays utilize the same solid tension locks found in the Vengeance C70. It looks like Corsair has managed to build up an excellent range of cases, and their excellent line-up now includes the entry-level midrange segment with the Carbide 200R.
