The R3 Corona case is similar in most respects to the R2 Toast case with one exception. The case has a downward moving CD-Tray instead of a vertically moving CD-Tray. I won't comment too much on this case as everything I covered in the R2 Toast also applies to the Corona. The features are identical down to the number of drives and the dimensions and weight.

The exterior of the case has a deeper top than bottom. The top has a GMC logo on it. One thing that is different is the location of the CD Eject button. On the Corona it is located on the right hand side, while on the Toast it is located on the left hand side. The rear of the case has the same arrangement as the Toast. The left side door has the same funnel and grill as found on the Toast. The FP IO is located on the bottom of the case.
