Introduction
I would like to thank
Corsair for supplying the review sample.
Corsair sent us the Carbide Air 240 for review. There are two colors, and we get to take a look at the black chassis today. Having reviewed the larger and more expensive Air 540, it'll be interesting to see how the compact Carbide Air 240 will fare—let's get this review started!

Packaging
Corsair ships the Carbide Air 240 in a compact, but simple cardboard package. It comes with an image of the chassis on the main side and one of a blow-up diagram on the other, giving you some much-needed insights into the enclosure. Both sides list the chassis specifications, and you will also find a sticker to let you know which color variant of the Carbide Air 240 is within the package.
Two Styrofoam spacers hold the enclosure in place, while a plastic bag has been pulled over it at the factory, so rest assured that it will arrive without any fingerprints or scratches.
