Hi guys!

The NDA has finally lifted on the new Corsair cases. I will admit that the 550D does tickle my fancy very much. The 300R looks like a good updated version of the highly popular Antec 300.

Stock will be arriving in the next week or two.

The Carbide Series™ 300R is a compact expression of the Corsair philosophy: great systems begin with a great case. Open the easy-access side panel to find a builder-friendly design with three tool-free optical drive bays and four tool-free hard drive bays with integrated 2.5” SSD compatibility. There’s room for extra-long graphics cards, and the matte black interior really shows off your gear. Finish off your build with a cable routing system that keeps wires and cables out of sight and out of the airflow path for a clean, uncluttered look.
The 300R keeps your hardware cool with amazing airflow, including a 140mm front intake fan and a 120mm rear exhaust fan. There’s room to add five additional fans, including dual side-panel fan locations that can deliver cool air directly to your graphics cards. And, the dust filters are removable for easy maintenance. Features like these make the Corsair Carbide Series 300R the foundation of your next great system.

reminds me of the Fractal cases, cant wait to see a system built in one

Corsair are putting out some quality cases at the moment
 
aww
was hoping for a new graphite case as I couldn't make my mind up on getting a 600t or not
not sure about the 550d - need to see proper photos first.
 
I would have expected a higher price for the 550D just based on it's looks and previous cases in the range. I suppose they need to get some cheaper cases in the market.

:EDIT:

Though having had a second look I suppose it doesn't really look up to par against it's bigger brothers in the looks department.
