Both side panels as previously mentioned, slide forwards rather than backwards and are held in place with just a single thumbscrew on either side.

Casting our eyes upon the inside of 230T, we can see Corsair have powder coated this black to contrast brilliantly with the flamboyant orange. This case can accommodate ATX and Micro ATX form factors and has a plethora of tool-free design mechanisms for attaching devices. There are cut-outs for cable management but no rubber grommets unfortunately – this is likely to be due to 230T being on a tight budget.





At the bottom of the chassis we can mount the PSU – this area unfortunately has no anti-vibration rubber so care must be taken when installing the PSU since scratching can occur. Corsair have included a removable dust filter but it can be quite awkward to remove whilst the case is stood up due to the limited clearance underneath the case, we had to tilt the case to detach the filter. Next to the PSU area is an optional 120/140mm cooling fan placement.



Moving up inside the case, we come to seven PCI expansion slot covers – giving multi-GPU support. These covers all have ventilation cut-outs to encourage better airflow inside the case and have accompanying thumbscrews to make the job of removal much easier.



Over the page we will continue our look at the internal design and features of 230T.
