Conclusion

...a compact ATX solution that stands out from the crowd courtesy of a quirky front panel design and three bundled RGB fans.

Corsair's ever-expanding range of chassis continues to grow with the introduction of the iCue 220T RGB Airflow.

Available in black or white and priced at £88, the firm's latest mid-tower offering is a compact ATX solution that stands out from the crowd courtesy of a quirky front panel design and three bundled RGB fans.

The unique fascia will divide the crowd - I like it, plenty of others don't - but it's nice to see something a little different to the norm, and on the inside the 220T gets most of the basics right. The PSU shroud keeps things looking tidy, there's room for at least one good-sized radiator, and the pre-installed lighting hub makes effect synchronisation a breeze through the iCue software.

There's room for improvement - USB Type-C would be nice and we'd expected PWM fans at this price point - but for a simple, no-fuss build, the 220T can take everyday components and jazz them up a bit.

The Good		The Bad
Has a fun look about it Good cooling performance Reasonably compact for a mid-tower case Three RGB fans included as standard Robust steel construction		No USB Type-C Basic fan hub is for lighting only HDD cage close to PSU bay Makes little effort to dampen noise

I'm not really getting much 80s from this or the black version… Looks like just a standard case with removable RGB fans shining through the front intake, TBH… :(

I'd say 60's or 70's with the RGB. That was the disco era after all…

For the 80's the RGB would have to be seven segment. And without any ‘B’ :)

Edit: Now a mini ITX case in ST or Amiga style, that could get my attention. I have a spare Ryzen 2200G that would go awesomely is such a beast :)

I like the funky front panel, it has a kind of space invades vibe about it and makes a nice change to have decent direct airflow into the case too. I think I’d prefer a few extra CM between the PSU & the HDD cage though (as pointed out).

I dunno - I don't really like that front panel. The lack of symmetry bugs me.
