I really hope our printers have been able to adequately capture the inherent orange-ness of Corsair's latest budget case, the Graphite 230T. On paper, without seeing the 230T, the idea of an orange case may seem over the top, and even a little bit crass,...

The Corsair Graphite Series 230T is a well-made chassis with good cooling performance. It's a worthy option for any midrange...

In reviewing the Corsair Graphite 230T we tried very hard not to be swayed by the Orange colour scheme. We happen to like it, and like it a lot. We think it's refreshing without being too in your face and we applaud Corsairs decision to go with it,...

While mesh-fronted cases might seem like they've been done to death, only drastic measures such as SilverStone's rotated ATX cases have managed to offer cooling that's noticeably better than the likes of the Antec One or Corsair Carbide Air 540. The...

Starting with the 230T case we have a product which offers a rugged looking design which feels sturdy. The orange version may not be for everyone but the black and grey editions mean most tastes should be catered for. We like the use of LED fans in a...

With a product such as the Graphite 230T, the budget is tight and Corsair obviously wanted to keep the retail price low. Instead of lowering the quality of the actual product however, Corsair disposed of everything without practical value to the end...

Today we take a look at the latest chassis from Corsair, the budget friendly 230T. At just £59.99 it is a far cry from the more recent Corsair chassis products we have reviewed, such as the £299.99 900D Ultra-Tower and the £129.99 750D Full-Tower. Of...

The Graphite 230T is certainly beautiful for a casing retailing at around MYR 290. I think the casing is neatly build, with tough plastic at the front and rough textured metal around. It feels solid even as I work through the installation and...

The Corsair Graphite 230T offers what users are looking for in a modern case. The design of the 230T is sleek, and a change to the previous Graphite cases such as the 600T that we already reviewed and had a more rounded look. While internally it'll...
