The Corsair Crystal Series 680X RGB Tempered Glass Chassis launches today with an MSRP of $249.99 in the US and £219.99 in the UK. The rest of Europe should see prices around 249 EUR. Of course, that’s subject to some fluctuation, sales, etc, but should otherwise be correct.
Of course, that’s not cheap, but this is a premium chassis from one of Corsair’s flagship series. You’re getting a lot of chassis, four fans, three of which are aRGB, as well as their built-in hub. Long story short, you get what you pay for.
Corsair has done a fantastic job once again, and let’s be honest, when was the last time one of their premium chassis sucked? I certainly don’t recall that ever happening. The 680X is the next evolution of their fantastic Crystal Series and by far one of the best they’ve done recently too. It blends elements from the mATX 280X RGB, but scales things up for modern enthusiast systems.
Personally, I did like their all-glass 570X, but it was a little impractical and a bugger to keep clean. The 680X gives us more metal, but still keeps the windows in all the right places. Plus, this makes the cable routing a lot easier, as you can’t see through the right side panel.
The 680X has more cable routing grommets than you will likely need. However, it’s better to have them and not need them, than need them and not have them. With so much space behind the motherboard for all the “ugly” stuff. You can easily cram you PSU, storage drives, fan hub, and your cables out of sight. Thanks to the great routing holes, you only need to expose a small amount of cable to reach whatever you need on the motherboard. Clean cable routing, cleaner airflow, and a great looking build just got easier.
For many people, dropping £200+ on a chassis just isn’t going to happen. This is a luxury item for sure, but it’s certainly not just a fashion flex. For all its good looks, tempered glass, and addressable RGB, the 680X is very practical. It has great hardware support, superb build quality, dust filters where you need them, and fans that perform their cooling duties as good or better than their RGB duties. I certainly recommend it, even if it is a bit pricey.
