![]() ![]() Plastic elements such as the front bezel have extended to such lengths that they naturally exhibit a bit of flex, and there are other elements that feel economical. Despite being blown-up to these proportions, the 7000D remains an attractive piece of kit.Ĭorsair's large doors swing open to provide easy access and convey a high-quality feel, as do the metal top and front covers, however you will notice less rigidity in other areas. The 4000D, 5000D and 7000D are all instantly recognisable, and each comes across as clean and modern, with sleek lines, elegant mesh panelling and good symmetry throughout. It's a giant alright, yet Corsair does well to maintain a familiar design language across the range. If you crave extra room to build with, the 7000D touts almost a 25 per cent increase in overall volume. ![]() We don't see many full-tower solutions these days, and the huge 600mm (H) x 248mm (W) x 550mm (L) form factor represents a significant step-up in size from Corsair's existing mid-tower sibling, the 5000D. As such, it is expected to have the potential for excellent internal air flow to help keep hot running systems cool… and with an MSRP of $165(USD) it will be competing against everything from their very own Obsidian and Crystal series, to the likes of the Lian Li O11 Dynamic.Our £240 7000D Airflow review unit is really quite striking, with a full-height glass side panel providing a monolithic look that demands attention in any room. After all, this is a big ‘mid tower’ case that has prioritized cooling potential over including any 5.25-inch bays. The first and last ones will be critical in our final decision. These areas are air flow and system cooling potential, ease of use, included features (internal and external), aesthetics, and overall value. With this in mind we will be focusing in on a few key areas. Tied for second place in this lineup is the all-new Corsair 5000D and today, via a written and later video review, we will be taking a deep dive into what makes it tick… and see if Corsair has not only improved upon a rather decent blueprint but exceeded the rather high expectations buyers have come to take for granted with new Corsair cases. Based on user feedback Corsair went back to the drawing board and their R’n’D has resulted in not one but three new cases based upon a new chassis design (iCUE 5000X RGB, 5000D Airflow, 5000D). It however did have a few quirks that kept it from being ‘perfect’. They actually listening to constructive feedback and tweak what buyers found to be less than optimal in order to make their cases even betterįor example, last year Corsair released their 4000D and many a buyer liked what it had to offer. The later of which is actually more impressive as every generation Corsair somehow finds ways to not only distinguish themselves in an extremely crowded marketplace but make others seem… less than optimal in comparison. Be it their iconic Obsidian series or more value orientated Carbide series, Corsair quickly rose to the top of many an experienced system builders list and has stayed there. Over the years Corsair has made quite the name for themselves in the cutthroat PC case marketplace.
