Review on πŸ–₯️ Corsair 4000D Airflow White Tempered Glass Mid-Tower ATX PC Case by Chris Drury

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great case: Computer case

First the cons: I/O has only 1 USB3.1 port (Type A) and 1 USB3.1 port (Type C) (picture attached). No fan splitter, RGB board is only for RGB, not for obv power. Rear fan not included. Pros/Opinion: Great case. The white color is very pure, the glass is very pure, the RGB is beautiful. Fans are quiet and airflow/cooling is satisfactory, although nothing gets hot on my build anyway. This is the most beautiful case I have personally seen and I really like it. My case budget was around $80, which I had left over after deciding on some SSD storage upgrades for my PC. I didn't really need a suitcase and it was too expensive for me ($120), but I just had to have one. So much so that I decided not to buy an SSD just so I could afford it, if at all. I wasn't thrilled when it arrived, I already had burns, but on closer inspection I only found a small scratch on the inside and some dirt (oil?) on the outside, which I easily cleaned off. I've built several PCs for friends and family in the past, all on NZXT, which I have no complaints about. When I saw this online, I saw that it was set up a little differently. I'd say the quality feels a bit more solid in this one, and even the paint seems to have a nicer texture. The magnetic cover/filter on top is very good and the front glass is very strong, even a little scary to come off. The lack of an included rear fan is a small downside of this case (cost). I have spare parts but nothing good for the RGB 4000x so I went with a Corsair SP120 RGB professional fan which I believe is identical to the front fans. Connects perfectly with the RGB board and doesn't cause problems in RGB programming with iCUE. The Mobo Wire security bar is a mixed bag, but overall I like it. It's a little tight and flat and very close to the board. I like it, but it can be difficult to get the cable in, especially when the connectors on the mobo are very close to the edge like they are on regular motherboards. My SATA connectors are on the bottom of my board. So if you place them in the PSU shroud, the SATA cables will be bent very sharply, allowing them to go in and hide. I found enough room in the back to hide a lot of cables, but as other reviewers have pointed out or complained, it's cramped. I found it perfect because it makes the case feel really roomy in every other way, and I have a heck of a lot of cables, especially with 2 SSDs, 2 HDDs and a fan splitter/hub. IMPORTANT! I STRONGLY RECOMMEND buying a fan splitter depending on how many fan power connectors your phone has. I only have 4, including the processor, so I bought an ARCTIC fan hub, 10 slots, from Amazon for $10. It's slim and small enough to fit anywhere, although there's not much room with maxx 2ssds and 2hdds, which I think is another plus. If you have a fan hub like mine, I recommend not using magnetic strips or stickers unless you are sure you can place them behind the mobo. As I mentioned I have some cables in the back so I levitated the hub there as I think I will move it as I add more fans. ALSO IMPORTANT, this case may cost $120, but it will actually cost you more. You will need at least a suitable rear fan and a fan splitter/hub. Despite the extra cost, I love this case and am very happy with it. Very happy with this purchase and cannot recommend it more highly. Thank you Corsair and thank you Revain.
