Introduction
I would like to thank
Corsair for supplying the review sample.
The Corsair Carbide 400C and 400Q employ the same chassis body, but are for two different scenarios. While the 400C comes with a large side window, the 400Q is for the silent enthusiast since it only has solid panels. Having reviewed multiple Corsair enclosures in the past, the 400C, which is the variant we have here today, sure aims to deliver the same quality and functionality as we have come to love from them. So let us dive right in and find out if this holds true. We already reviewed the 600C and now have the pleasure of taking a closer look at the 400Q.

Packaging
The Corsair Carbide 400Q ships in a brown cardboard package with an image of the chassis and some marketing text on front. Turn the box around and you will find a blow-up diagram and some additional information. Both sides of the package hold a list of specifications and two more images of the chassis.
Two Styrofoam spacers hold the enclosure in place, while a cloth bag has been put over the chassis to protect it from scratches and fingerprints.
