Corsair 5000D Airflow vs Corsair Obsidian Series 1000D

Installing cooling there and in the front that's definitely involved but as I say I wouldn't recommend that. So I suspect that someone at Corsair was ...

I installed an ATX motherboard just to give you a reference point at how big that interior is. We have so much space above and in front of the motherb...

0 Type A, 1xUSB C, and 3.5mm combo jack are some pretty solid front i/o options that a lot of cases seem to skip out on.

This board is an absolute beast. It's completely feature packed, so a perfect central home for this system. For storage, I have a collection of SSDs, ...

Obviously, if you're just gaming or editing or watching something, the power consumption will be lower. So from a real-world perspective, the cooling ...

Awesome now that's its done but this was by far the absolute worst building experience ever the commander pro is adhesived in bottom on the case in plain site took quite some sound doing to pry it up and stick in the back where it belongs OUT OF SITE be careful when you're doing that i almost broke the thing are you kidding me corsair why am i spending so much on a gorgeous case so i can have a mess of wires out out on display for everyone to see that aside it there isnt enough room on the back side to hide cables spent over an hour and half trying different routing to get it to all fit and im still not happy with it luckily i cant see it on my desk. Those 2 incredibly poor design problems aside the case is beautiful and feels very premium i love the magnetic doors not having to unscrew something when i need to get inside the case front panel io is great one think is did add anyway would should be there in the first place is and extention to the psu cover so it spans the whole length of case looks way nicer. Apologies for my overly excessive rant above to summarize if you can handle some frustration with routing cables and you can pry up the commander off that tar strip its on then go for it its great when its all done otherwise do yourself a favor and get nzxt or fractal they know what they're doing

Excellent case. Well built with lots of room and features. Corsair: Please tell the Incredible Hulk (what a hire you made there!) that he needs to remember that thumb screws don't have to be tightened down to the point where mere mortals have to use vice grips to remove them! Thanks!

But I assume Corsair has done their due diligence with shock, vibe and drop testing. I'll start with my issues, and why 3 stars. Could have easily been 5. It boils down to 2 things: First is a quality control issue with Corsair

I had the resources and the know-how to make it work for me. Take my recommendations in mind and it will work for you too. I would have gotten the 7000D if I had the space but my computer is on the floor under a wire rack and there is no more vertical space for it.

It is the biggest and most feature-rich case Corsair has ever made. So you might ask, like, why did you guys build this ridiculously huge PC case? It'...

Material Quality: 10/10 Usable Space: 10/10 (It's almost like it's bigger INSIDE) Cable Passthroughs: 10/10 (they're everywhere) Assembly/Dissassembly: 10/10 (everything is on an intuitive/easy to see latch that's sturdy, but wont feel like you're breaking anything as you take it apart) Ventilation: 10/10 - Options! Comes with magnetic dust guards that you can easily take off for greater airflow, or leave on for the preventative maintenance. Space for 10 120mm fans, 3 360mm radiators if you have a crazy water system. Don't let the tempered glass door concern you, this case was engineered by wizards who were smart enough to leave a small zig-zag type gap around the front and top edges. Hard to describe, but it essentially allows decent airflow/ventilation near the glass wall

Although I can't be certain, it was in the box and Styrofoam was around it when it came, so it leads me to believe that it happened during production, rather than shipping.
