Hi, Recently I thougth about buying a new case mostly because I hate the looks of the current case (Enermax Ostrog GT) and also I prefer something more quiet and also I didn't build the PC so the cable managment in it is bad.
So I'm looking for a new case, I prefer that it will be atleast abit quiet, that will cost around 100$ at max and will look nice or minimalistic and I prefer with a good looking side panel.
I thought about the Corsair Carbide 400C, how is it? is it quiet and does it have good airflow?

Minimalistic and a good side panel... There are the usual suspects of the S340, InWin 303, Phanteks P400/S, P300, Enthoo Pro M, Cooler master box 5 or whatever it's called, Silverstone's Redline series, Fractal Define S and Define C, etc.

I tried to build in the 400C and hated it. That shroud is horrible and looks horrible, and cable management is surprisingly difficult. I returned it the day I bought it. Thankfully, it was at a Fry's Electronics like 30 minutes away.

You can't go wrong with any of these. The Inwin 303 is such a beauty, besides the duck feet.

I litterally have only define c and s and s340 in my country out of all the cases you mentioned, is the 400C really that bad? A computer store will build the PC and not me.


These are the specs:
Gigabyte H97-HD3 ATX
16gb ram ddr3
i7-4790
cpu cooler: Arctic I11
GPU: R9 390X Msi
psu: Max Pro 700W
and 2 fans that I added which are Noctua nf-f12 and the second one I don't remeber but its 12MM

Outward-appearance, the C400 and the two that I listed are quite similar. So if you're dead set on the C400, then get it. At the end of the day, it's just a tower. You're the one who has to use it, look at it, maintain it, etc. so the important thing is that you like it.

To answer your questions:
Q: Is it quiet?
A: No case is completely quiet if you load it up with fans. So it depends on the fans you use and how many.

Q: Good airflow?
A: Yes.
