No standoffs means it’s annoyingly difficult to line things up and hold the panel steady (especially with the case vertical), and the hex sockets require an included Allen key to fasten or remove. Corsair broke with tradition and common sense by skipping the standoffs this time and replacing the thumbscrews with Allen bolts. The bog-standard method (and one that Corsair has used before) is to stick some motherboard-style standoffs onto the side of the chassis, wrap them with rubber, and bolt the glass panel over them with thumbscrews at each corner. We always make a point of mentioning how tempered glass panels are attached, because it’s one area where case manufacturers are still making little improvements.

Also unlike the PM02, there’s no plastic silhouette used to project the company logo, so the LED assembly can be taken out to leave the bottom vent completely unobstructed. This is something we’d like to see other manufacturers clue-in to.

We like that Corsair has tapped-in to front IO for its minor LED power draw. Unlike the PM02, the LEDs draw power from the front I/O without any discrete SATA or Molex cable, which is great-cable management is hard enough without dedicating a whole SATA cable to powering three LEDs. Like the Silverstone PM02, there’s an LED under the front panel for a subtle underglow. The curved front panel gives the 275R a distinct look compared to the sharp-edged 270R, but it also causes some problems that we’ll cover in the thermal section. As shown in the video, we were also able to see some painting imperfections around the borders of the front panel, although we did note that they’re of minimal concern. Coverage is fine, but the front panel is coated in primer-like brushed white paint that looks good but doesn’t perfectly match the paint used on the metal parts of the case. We requested the white version of the case, since it’s hard to find a good full-coverage color scheme that isn’t black.
