1. Review: Corsair 570X Mid
Tower ATX
The Corsair 570X Case is the type of Case that you place on
top of your desk to show off all the nice parts that you have
built into it to everyone who takes a look at it. As opposed
to other cases in which you will only find one windowed side,
this Case sports a fully open design by having all sides made
out of tempered glass.
This review will be a bit different than you might be used to
in reviews, so my hopes are to get a lot of your opinions on
this review style.
Content:
The Corsair 570X Mid Tower ATX is a spectacular looking Case
in which you will not have to go to a lot of trouble to create
an eye catcher in your Gameroom or Office. Moving away from
the standard black boxes which are normally seen, this Case
has been fully designed to get noticed. This has been achieved

2. in various ways which I will talk about below.
The Outside:
The outside of the Corsair 570X is fully made out of tempered
glass, this ensures that whatever it is you do to the insides
it will always be in full view. Corsair handled this very well
by giving the builders a whole bunch of options to showcase
the parts they put into this case in the most aesthetically
pleasing way possible. For instance, think about velcro straps
to route cables, but also the 3 included LED RGB fans in the
front of the case work perfectly towards that end while also
generating a very recognizable look and feel to the appearance
of the Case.
Because the outsides are entirely made out of glass, you will
be forced to regularly clean everything inside and out, seeing
it is all glass the much-hated finger smudges will be left on
the case by those people who simply can’t resist looking with
their hands instead of their eyes.
Because of the Modders competition Corsair held with this 570X
as a base, various Mods have already been made, each of these
Mods steered clear of the outsides seeing one of the rules of
the competition was to keep the Case recognizable at a glance.
To the more creative Modders this does not pose much of an

3. obstruction and thus a bunch of modifications were added,
below you will find some of the more obvious alterations. Such
as the steel teeth of the “Pellucidum” by Singularity
Computers, the fully customized frame of the “570X
CrystaliZed” by Daniel Bolognesi, but also the etched glass of
the “570TRIX” by SimpleModz.

4. The Inside:
The inside of the 570X gives you the standard amount of space
which you normally find in an ATX Case, enough room to house
your motherboard with the power supply below leaving plenty of
much-needed space for hard drives and other common parts you
might want to put into a build. Nothing bad can be said about
this space if you’re a standard builder. You will have plenty
of room, enough spaces to route wires, and plenty of spacious
open areas to build a little more than standard parts in this
Case.
The standard PSU cover is one of the first things you will

5. notice which Corsair has built into this Case to be able to
make a clean tight appearance in the Case. Another thing most
builders will notice is the lack of drive cages in which the
hard drives and DVD players and more of that should be built.
The actual drive cages for the hard drives and SSD’s have been
placed on the back of the motherboard tray to keep an open
case for optimal airflow in the 570X, but let’s be honest, it
simply looks more amazing as well, which is a requisite in a
Case where you can see the insides from all angles. Room for
optical drives (DVD players and such) is non-existent, this
Case works under the just impression that these days all
software can be downloaded and installed by either using the
internet or a USB.
The Modders have gone completely wild on the insides, besides
the almost standard present water cooling loops, the eight
Modders truly have put down eight entirely different visions
on what this Case can become in the hands of a Modder. Ronnie
Hara’s “Red Samurai” with the Graphics Card on a 90 degree
angle turning the Case into a GPU showcase, “WTLO” by Richard
Keirsgieter whose water cooling tricks generate amazingly
extreme forms of cooling, but also “570X MKII” by team
Watermod in which simplicity is the keyword, all the Modders
went in a completely different direction with their builds.

7. Cooling:

8. As can be read above, the entire Corsair 570X Case has been
designed with optimal airflow in the Case in mind by putting
various parts out of the way. The PSU cover also helps with
this in a very big way by keeping the interior mostly clear of
the abundance of cables and by limiting the disruptive air
movement of the actual PSU. The 3 LED RGB fans on the front
side of the Case are included in the package and are, besides
looking simply amazing, responsible for making the great
cooling inside this Case. Builders have space in this Case for
a maximum of 6x 120mm fans, of which 3 places in the front, 2
in the top, and 1 in the back. The spaces on the front and top
sides could be used for 140mm fans, but this would mean going
to 2x 140mm instead of 3x 120mm in the front side of the case.
All in all plenty of building options for air cooling can be
found int this 570X.
of course, water cooling has also come to mind in the
designing of this Case, whether you work with fully custom
loops or utilize a so-called All-in-one you will find plenty
of space for radiators and reservoirs. On the front side, you
will find room for a max 360mm radiator, the top gives room
for a 240mm, whereas the back holds room for a 120mm. Because
all the drive cages have been removed you have an open area
which gives room for reservoirs of all kinds of sizes.
After the Modders were done, there were so many alterations to

9. the Case’s cooling methods that I am of the opinion that
almost anything is possible in this 570X by Corsair.

10. Tech Specs:

11. My opinion:
This Corsair 570X ATX Case borrows itself perfectly for any
builder who is sure of his work and as such isn’t afraid to
show his work in all it’s glory. Seeing there is nothing you
can hide, you really do need to know what you are doing, this
makes the Case less suitable for a quick and easy build.
With my eye on the Modders World, I have a feeling that this
Case, regardless of its many options, still will bring about a
challenge or two. Even if there are already quite a few Mods
made with this Case as a base, a lot of Mods will no doubt
start to look too similar instead of ensuring a totally new
spectacle.
