The front of the box shows a plain 3/4 graphic of the case on a plain brown cardboard background with black text that highlights the case features in several languages. At the upper left is the familiar Corsair triple sail logo and at the bottom is a large Carbide Series 600C; so there is no doubt as to what is in the box. The exploded view on the back of the box gives you an idea of all the components before you ever get it out of the box. Both sides show a graphic of a side view and a front view of the case, along with a listing of the specifications. Now, one thing you may notice is the text at the bottom says that this is an inverse-ATX Full-Tower case. Inverse-ATX? Well, we will have to see exactly what that means when we open the box.

The large, thick Styrofoam end caps keep everything secured and well protected, and instead of the usual clear plastic bag, we have the case enveloped in a black fabric bag. As I recall, the Air 540 was packaged similarly, and this is a nice touch and seems to keep the static down. You know how it is when you pull a plastic bag off of a case - every stray piece of Styrofoam or fuzz within twenty feet magically sticks to the case.
