At conclusion with reviewing the Corsair CARBIDE SERIES 678C Case we find that the case offers very good stylish design with great acoustic performance. The case is designed for storage solution builds with lot of Hard drives mounting and sound dampening provided with the case. I use the case as a Free NAS storage box with 6 x 4TB HDDs and 512 SDD.
