Corsair Carbide 500R Midi Tower Case - Black @ £89.99 inc VAT

CA-060-CS_400.jpg


Want even more outrageous cooling flexibility? Step up to the 500R. It adds a 200mm fan mounted on the side panel’s mesh screen for extra GPU cooling, a multi-channel fan controller, and removable and relocateable hard drive cages. The ability to move and remove hard drive cages not only improves airflow — it also allows you to install graphics cards of up to 452mm in length.
Support for USB 3.0 and 2.5” SSDs is built-in. Two USB 3.0 connectors are provided on the front panel and connect directly to motherboards with compatible USB 3.0 headers. Integrated SSD support lets you install 2.5” solid-state drives in any of the hard drive bays, without having to deal with adapters.
The beauty on the inside goes beyond the black-painted interior. Corsair’s innovative cable management system provides a straightforward way to route cables behind the motherboard, not across it where it can interfere with airflow and give your system a cluttered look. And since looks are an important part of any build, you’ll appreciate the ability to turn the front panel fan white LEDs on or off with the push of a button.

- Side panel with mesh fan mount locations
- Dimensions: 20.5” x 8.1” x 20”
- Four 5.25” drive bays
- Six 3.5” hard drive bays with 2.5” compatibility
- Eight expansion slots
- Supports most 240mm dual radiators (15mm spacing)
- Six 120mm/140mm fan mounts
- Four 120mm fan mounts
- Front I/O Ports: 2 x USB3.0, 1 x FireWire, 2 x Audio
- Two-year warranty

Only £89.99 inc VAT.

In the unlikely event that a surge passes through this device and any damage occurs to your hardware, MasterPlug will pay up to £3000 for the replacement equipment*.

Bought that crazy extension cable, been looking to get some powerline adapters, so it seems to be the perfect thing since it provides broadband connection.

I am wondering about that power centre too - I don't currently run any surge protection but am wondering if maybe I should be?

I don't think it provides any kind of powerline networking. It looks like you just plug a network cable into it, then back out a couple of centimetres away and it stops power surges coming up network cable - doesn't look like there's any functionality to have the cable coming in in one room, and then going out in a another room.

I dont mean it like that, i mean i will buy some powerline adapters but to ensure that the broadband doesn't surge before the socket it will instead go like this:


Virgin hub -> Ethernet cable -> power centre thingy -> ethernet -> powerline plug

just to give it a bit of support before hand.

Careful with powerline adapters in extension cables. The ones we use in my house dropped out a lot or didn't work unless plugged directly into the wall. They are very old though, at least 6 years old, so maybe new ones are more reliable.

+1 a lot of powerline stuff doesnt work through extensions. you're better off getting a powerline passthrough thingy and plugging the extension through that.
