THANK YOU

Thank you for purchasing a Corsair® Carbide Series® 200R. With its elegant design and extensive feature set, 200R is a great case for beginning builders, or anybody looking for a compact, easy-to-use case.

Less work. More play. Build with the Carbide Series 200R and the only time you’ll need to pick up a screwdriver is to install the motherboard.

Side panel thumbscrews
PCI-E expansion card thumbscrew mounts
Tool-free SSD, hard drive, and optical drive installation
Cutouts for cable routing and CPU cooling

Easy to expand, and easy to cool
Carbide Series 200R is compact, but it’s designed to let you build high- performance systems with massive storage, extra graphics performance, and superior cooling and ventilation.

Seven PCI-E slots with room for cards up to 320mm long
Install up to four hard drives and four SSDs at once
Up to eight fan mounts (depending on hard drive configuration)

Easy to use
