Right in the center is one of my favourite things for actually building a system. You get a massive interior space with most of the interesting bits hidden behind the eATX mobo tray or shrouded. Moving inside the enhancements are equally subtle, some hard to notice until you have built-in it. The back has all the usual items including a maximum 120mm fan, I/O cut out, PCI slots and vertical GPU PCI cutouts, and a flexible PSU mounting bump. The underneath is even more sparse with just 4 large nonslip feet, a PSU air-vent cut out and a slide-in air filter. Both buttons are shiny and flush with a subtle icon printed in the power button and small white icons printed for the rest. The I/O is modern and minimal, with 1x USB 3.0 Type-A, 1x USB 3.1 Type-C, audio/mic jack, power, and reset. On the top is the aforementioned top dust filter with a hint of yellow. Some anti-noise/vibration padding would have been a nice touch but perhaps redundant in such an airflow optimized case. That practicality while looking good seems to be the theme of the case.

They slide in and are held with tabs along the front edge making the door easy to pull on or off but without the coolness or expense of full hinges. The glass front side and solid back side panel are both held in place with a combination of captive thumbscrews (with yellow O-rings) and pull out ball connectors. This gives such convenient access for cleaning filters and changing fans. Under that is an easy to remove light mesh filter held in place by 2 bottom tabs, 2 magnets, and a handle to pop it out when needed. It is also extremely easy to remove, with just 4 of the ball clips holding it securely until you tug at it. While generous side vents run the full height of the case, this additional mesh lets in all the air. The choice of front plates is the main variation between the two 4000D variants. The front has a mesh plate with deep air intake vents. The top has a very snug dust filter that would be impossible to remove without the distinctive yellow neoprene tab. That is, except for the striking bright yellow highlights. Corsair calls it distinctive yet minimalist and I concur. The darkly tinted tempered glass hides a very simple interior with most of the classic Corsair design ques muted and simplified. What emerged was a very handsome young case with a combination of shine and darkness that is very hard to capture in pictures. So well done to Corsair for packing well!įreeing it from its cardboard cocoon was easy and I quickly shed the plastic bag and oh so satisfying protective film.
It suffered some scuffs and bruises as the messengers were not gentle with it, but it survived the ordeal quite well. It arrived in a trusty brown shipping box with plenty of information and Corsair logos on it. That means we get to look at the eye-catching hexagons made of triangle mesh front center panel for this review. All 3 variants come in black or white giving a lot of options on one chassis. The other 4000D version has a solid front center panel for solidness while the edgy X version is upgraded to RGB with 3 RGB fans in the front and none in the back. These seem to be nice fans tweaked and optimized for use in cases. This review is the 4000D Airflow black version with 2 120mm AirGuide fans with anti vortex fins: 1 front and center behind a mesh panel and a second fan in the back. Despite the delay and my daughter deleting all my initial photos I am delighted with the case, so please join me in a quick photo essay about this handy box to keep all the internet and cat memes in. I instantly knew the airflow was for me and they sent it right over. Luckily, mine was delayed in shipping so I was able to spend some time with this lovely case, built in it 3 times already, and give the usual sacrifice before putting virtual pen to screen and tell you my adventures.
CORSAIR 400D AIRFLOW SERIES
What is there to say about the Corsair 4000 series of mid-tower cases that has not been said already? They are very well-reviewed cases with many of the usual suspects putting out a fast review already.
