Product Showcase
So, right then, let's start off with the gallery. As always we begin with packaging. It's a simple yet informative thing to show as when you purchase a chassis, honestly you do not want any defects and scratches on it. The 380T is packaged in cardboard.
Once you take the unit out of the cardboard box you'll notice two layers of foam protecting the unit, which on its end is covered in a plastic bag. Once you remove that you'll notice the important parts have been covered with a plastic wrap. Packaging was done carefully and the chances of damage and risk thanks to that are fairly small.
So there she is, looks like and resembles the original Graphite series a bit. I like it, though yellow will be a difficult 'color' to use in your home/office. As you can see photography today will be a daunting task, a white based chassis on a white background, yep that is difficult. But it looks great, nice rounded curves.
We like the overall design very much though, as quite typical from Corsair the design not at all screams with lights and logos. In fact it's a yellow/black design that is easy on the eyes. Less is more ... The Graphite Series 380T yellow edition is made of steel with molded ABS plastic accent pieces and is coated black on the inside. Mind you that there wwill be several color options available, among them white/black and black with red LEDs.
As you can see at the back side, you will be surprised how much kit this 35 cm high chassis can hold, it supports 2 x 5.25in tool-free drive bays alongside 2x 2.5/3.5" storage units as well. The side panel window can be replaced with a black mesh, we'll show that in a minute, that side 'mesh' comes with the chassis and is not an optional purchase. Nice detail for sure.
