New PC Cases Get the Cool and Silent Treatment
Corsair als unveiled two new mid-tower PC cases - the
Carbide Series Air 540 and the Carbide Series 330R.
The Carbide Series Air 540 is designed with a wider form
factor with two "side-by-side" chambers and a Direct
Airflow Path layout. Corsair claims that this design
helps the case deliver great cooling at low noise
levels.
The main chamber of the Carbide Series Air 540 houses
the motherboard and hot-swap 3.5" drives for quick
swapping. The second chamber holds the power supply,
SSDs, and 5.25" drives behind the motherboard tray. The
separate compartments make building easier and provide
cleaner cable routing and better cooling for system
devices. In addition, layout in each chamber is
optimized to limit obstructions and streamline airflow
from the intake fans to the hottest PC components.
Features:
- Support for Mini ITX, Micro ATX, ATX, Extended ATX
motherboards and ATX power supplies
- Eight tool-free expansion slots that supports cards
lengths up to 12.5" (320mm)
- Mount points for six 120mm or five 140mm fans (or
240/280mm radiator on top and 360/280/240mm radiator in
front)
- Two 5.25", two hot-swap 3.5", and four 2.5" tool-free
drive bays
- Removable front magnetic low-restriction dust filter
- Built-in cable routing cutouts with grommets
- Two USB 3.0 ports plus headphone/mic jacks on front
panel
- Oversized flush-mount window
- 16.5" (407mm) deep x 17" (432mm) wide x 18" (457mm)
tall
The Carbide Series 330R case has been designed for low
noise home computing. The case is laid out with a Direct
Airflow Path from the 140mm front intake fan. Noise
dampening material on the top panel, side panels, and
front door combined with rubber feet help keep the PC
quiet, and the top panel can be removed for 240mm
radiator installation if desired. Couple that with
features like built-in USB 3.0 and SSD capabilities and
the 330R is an attractive solution for the low noise
enthusiast.
Features:
- Support for Mini ITX, Micro ATX, ATX, Extended ATX
motherboards and ATX power supplies
- Noise dampening material on the top panel, side
panels, and front door
- Direct Airflow Path
- Up to Five fan mount locations (front 120/140mm x 2,
top 120/140mm x 2, rear 120mm)
- USB 3.0 on front panel
- Four hard drive trays with dual HDD and SSD
compatibility
- Tool free 5.25" and 3.5" drive installation
- Built-in cable routing cutouts with grommets
19.5" (495mm) deep x 8.3" (210mm) wide x 19" (482mm)

The list prices for Carbide Series Air 540 and Carbide
Series 330R are $139.99 and $89.99 respectively. The
cases are available now and are backed with a two year
warranty.
PC Gaming Peripherals
The latest additions to theCorsair's Vengeance
and Raptor Gaming lines include four new gaming
keyboards and two gaming mice.
In March, Corsair released the Vengeance K70 fully
mechanical gaming keyboard with Cherry MX Red key
switches designed for gamers. The company has expanded
the K70 line to include two new versions equipped with
Cherry MX Blue and Cherry MX Brown key switches. Both
switch types require slightly more finger pressure to
trigger, with the Cherry MX Brown switches providing a
less audible click.
Both of the new Vengeance K70 keyboards versions are
housed in a brushed, anodized aluminum chassis and have
individually programmable blue backlighting for each
key. Like all Vengeance K70 keyboards, the new models
feature dedicated media keys as well as a 100%
anti-ghosted matrix, full key rollover and a 1000Hz
reporting rate for fast gaming.
The Vengeance K70 will be shipped in July for $129.99.
Designed for gamers on the go or with limited desk
space, the Vengeance K65 is the most compact fully
mechanical gaming keyboard in Corsair?s arsenal. By
omitting the numpad and maintaining full-size key
spacing, Corsair minimized the Vengeance K65?s
footprint. The keyboard features Cherry MX Red key
switches. It also has a 100% anti-ghosted matrix, full
key rollover, a 1000Hz reporting rate and comes with a
detachable cable for easy packing.
The Vengeance K65 will be shipped in July for $89.99.
The Corsair Raptor K50 gaming keyboard combines a
comfortable membrane key feel, onboard macro storage,
100% anti-ghosting with full-key rollover on USB, and
16.8 million color customizable backlighting. The
keyboard features 18 programmable gaming keys and three
banks for up to 54 macros that can be stored in the
keyboard?s built-in memory. The Raptor K50 also has six
dedicated multimedia keys for music and video playback
and a Windows lock key.
The Raptor K50 will be shipped in July for $99.99.
The Corsair Raptor M40 gaming mouse features a
gaming-tuned Avago ADNS-3090 4000 DPI optical sensor,
fast response time, large PTFE glide pads, high-mass
scroll wheel all housed in right-handed design with a
textured, soft-touch surface. The Raptor M40 also has an
adjustable weight system and seven programmable buttons
with macros and for critical gaming functions. In
addition, instant DPI switching allows gamers to swiftly
toggle between high sensor resolution for fast motion,
and low resolution for accurate aiming.
The Raptor M40 will be shipped in July for $59.99.
Corsair Raptor M30 gaming mouse is designed for
performance, and features a game-tuned Avago ADNS-3090
4000 DPI optical gaming sensor, extra-large PTFE glide
pads, and fast response time. The mouse?s six buttons
enable one-click access to critical game functions, and
on-the-fly DPI switching with a DPI LED indicator let
gamers instantly switch to a lower sensor resolution for
long-range weapon accuracy. The right-handed design also
has a soft-touch finish, a rubber thumb grip and a
low-friction braided cable.
Availability of the The Raptor M30 is set for July,
priced at $49.99. |
