Recieved my Corsair Carbide 540 case. A bit scuffed and some scratches on the window. But hey, almost 10 year old case.
It was really dirty, and bird feathers inside the case. A vacume cleaner, some window cleaner and soap water.
I actually thought that it was 3.5 inch drive bays on the front. Nope!!! Those are 5.25 inch ones. This is an BIG case.
I have not been able to find any red version like mine, so it might be a case mod. And I got a Noctua fan as a bonus.
All drive holders are in the case, and there are some SATA extension cables as well.
I am a happy man. Will look great with that ATX-64 board inside. (And not bad for 26 Euro)

I have that case, bought it new for about 130 bucks. It will probably be my case for decades to come.
The red is a mod. The front grill comes out easily for cleaning, so it's not hard to paint just it. And they covered the MOST beautiful Corsair badge.
Both of the 5.25" bays are still covered on my case.
This case reminded me of the SGI Onyx cases, which is why I wanted it. Anyways, I'm planning on putting wood paneling on the front right site, or painted parts of mine beige.
Anyways, great case IMO. It has a ton of expansion and air flow.
