Product overview
Launched on June 4, 2018 at Computex as part of CORSAIR’s Crystal Series, the Crystal 280X RGB is a dual‑chamber micro‑ATX cube with three tempered‑glass panels and included LL120 RGB fans/Lighting Node PRO.Sourcecorsair.com
Positioned as a mainstream compact showcase case, it exists to make neat, small mATX builds easy while keeping cables, drives and PSU hidden. It fits Micro‑ATX or Mini‑ITX boards, standard PS/2‑ATX PSUs (up to 180 mm long), GPUs to 300 mm, and 150 mm‑tall air coolers. Cooling is flexible: up to six 120 mm fans and mounts for 240/280 mm radiators in the top, front, and bottom. Front I/O provides 2× USB 3.0 and audio jacks; storage mounts are 2× 3.5 in + 3× 2.5 in. Notable for its heavy radiator support in a small cube.Sourcetomshardware.com
