Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Corsair iCUE 465X RGB Mid-Tower ATX Smart Case in Stunning White: A Must-Have for Gamers by Rob Bradford

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great case, a few minor disappointments

This is the first new case I've had since 2009, so the specs on the case have changed really a lot. I like the cable management, the optics, the glass. I argued between this and the 570x, going for the lighter weight, smaller size and LL-RGB fans. Everything is great, except for a few negative points: - The 3.5" hard drive cuts into the area in front of the power supply for cable management, but cannot be removed if you want to use a 3.5" drive. There is room for the entire cage to move forward, I wish Corsair had done this to allow more room for cables to clog. The supplied light control is the "basic" version, which is usually not available on the Internet because it is sometimes not included in the scope of delivery. They don't tell you that this light controller is only compatible with fans. Adding some Corsair RGB strips would be nice, but for that you'll need to use a different Corsair controller - I wish it had a USB 3.1 Type-C port on the front. Many mobile devices these days have this port on the front! - No HDD activity indicator, why? All mobos still have this title. I wish it had a rear fan, another LL120 fan is about $35. Biggest grab of them all: Why does the WHITE version of this case come with BLACK LL120 fans!?!?! C'mon Corsair, if you want to do a white case make sure the fans match!
