Corsair adds a Windowed Version to its 300R Case
Corsair has updated its Carbide Series PC Gaming cases with a new Windowed Version of its popular 300R.
Corsair has taken its compact gaming case that was originally released in January and added a large side window that gives PC builders the ability to demonstrate their modding skills while also showcasing internal PC components. The windowed version of the 300R adds an additional cost of $10.00 to the case, which will bring up the discussion to many enthusiast; "Do I pay the extra $10.00 or do I just modify the original 300R with a side window of my choosing?"
The Carbide Series 300R measures 19.1" x 8.3" x 17.7" and features three tool-free optical drive bays and four tool-free hard drive bays with integrated 2.5" SSD compatibility. There's room for high-end GPUs of up to 17.71" in length, so your GTX 690 or Radeon HD 6990 will fit without issue. It utilizes a matte black interior that incorporates Corsair's unique cable routing system to keep wires and cables out of sight for improved airflow. The 300R comes with intake and exhaust fans, with room for five additional fans including dual side-mounted fans for direct GPU cooling. It offers integrated dust filters on the front and bottom intakes that are easily removable for PC cleaning.

You could say that to the PC hardware manufacturers.
The case interior is painted black, the motherboards are stylish, Memory kits, CPU coolers which look cool/good are made for a reason.
For many, it matters how good your PC hardware looks, ergo, manufacturers give a good amount of attention to looks.
Mona Lisa Vs PC hardware; PC hardware FTW!
I don't get why people want cases with side windows. You don't have the Mona Lisa in there. Just computer hardware.

There's a reason that enthusiast hardware is coloured, styled and designed the way it is.
Because if your going to run extremely expensive (in comparison to standard OEM machines) hardware you might as well show it off.
A bit of an E-Peen in other words.
Nothing wrong with having a perspective. ...just as long as you realize and respect that its your perspective and not everyone else's.
Private time with an i7 CPU is needed.
some people like to show off there hardware..
There are plenty of them available; The NZXT Phantom and switch 810, most of the cases from coolermaster, many of the cases from Corsair. Lian Li has custom parts for most of their cases available for purchase including full window side panels. Silverstone also has some nice cases for modders.
Every day more companies are making things easier for modders. Now they are offering fully modular power supplies so you can keep the cables for the warranty and mod your own. There are at least a half dozen suppliers of single sleeve cabling, Corsair is offering a full set for their power supplies now.
Then of course there are companies like mountain mods where ALL their cases are made to be modded. The Antec air was supposed to be fully modular but it is so ugly and with horrible air flow so nobody is buying those things.
I like the offering here of the full window which most companies don't do but unfortunately their placement of the fan mounts leaves a lot to be desired. They should have one fan mount above the video card area, the second one is superfluous. Plus in the middle of the window defeats the purpose of showing off the hardware. So kudos for the full window, major fail for the fan placement.
I didn't see it available here, but I'd bet it becomes available very soon.

In the meantime I suggest you write Corsair and request one. I have been working closely with case manufacturers for awhile and they are very much interested in helping enthusiasts and modders. I asked NZXT if I could order a front panel for a case after I scratched it during modding, the sent me a replacement free.
The NZXT Switch 810, can do it.
