Packaging & First Look

In true Corsair fashion, 230T is presented in a large eco-friendly box. The front has an illustration of the case and some fundamental features listed. Around the back there is a schematic diagram showing a break-down of the features for those who are interested.

Inside, 230T is covered in a clear plastic sheet and held in place with polystyrene pillars at the sides and also the top.


Eco-friendly packaging


Revealing 230T for the first time we are met with a vibrant mid-tower computer chassis. The visual appearance and styling is middle of the road between the gamer and minimalist approach. 230T is available in “Battleship Grey”, “Rebel Orange” and Black. Our sample is of course the Rebel Orange – this also comes with respective orange LED fans at the front.

The prominent side panel features a Perspex window which gives a viewpoint over the rear-end of the case. The reverse side panel has no significant features except to say that, just like the prominent side, there are indentations to help assist with panel removal. An interesting design concept which Corsair have implemented on 230T is that the side panels slide forwards rather than backwards for removal.
