Corsair5000D Airflow Tempered Glass Mid-Tower ATX PC Case - Black

Corsair delivers with classic quality and functionality. The spacious design allows for easy installation and clean cable management. The option for so many fans allows exceptional airflow and lots of RGB. This case is as large as some other manufacturers' full towers. My only complaint is that the case is not quite deep enough to allow for proper triple radiator support. I would definitely choose this case to build in for anything from the largest air-cooled builds to custom water-cooled loops.

Didn't add a photo as it's late at night when writing this review and honestly, the pictures that showcase the product to a good job at showing the most important aspects to it. To make this the easiest to digest, I'll make a pros and cons list really quickly & expand more at the bottom if needed.Pros : This case is EXTREMELY spacious compared to its little brother the 4000D. Prior to getting this case when I was cross-checking specs for GPU clearance among other things, the 5000D just made the most sense when you consider how massive partner cards are getting & the multitude of ways a person can set their airflow up. Having not only the front panel, but also the side panel directly next to it for a total of 6 intake fans if you're wild enough, with plenty of room at the top of the case for either a radiator or rear exhaust to compliment the back exhaust fan. Plenty of cable ties, so many I'd be shocked if any person in the world uses the amount Corsair supplies, but better to have them and not need them than need them & not have them. A PSU end-panel shroud & side panel shroud (side panel shroud in the case you're not planning on having fans mounted to the side panel) to make things look very well cable managed & hides any not-so-great cable management as well. Easy to remove hard drive bays for more PSU cable space. Included 90 degree USB 3 header which was an unexpected but very much appreciated inclusion. Ease of access to every panel & dust filter throughout the entirety of the case. Overall a very good for future proofing case (although we don't like to say future proof in the tech world, this case seems to be a safe bet). All in all, if you install some really high quality fans in here, you're basically guaranteed some very acceptable temperatures from your hardware as this case when setup up accordingly MOVES AIR.Cons - The rubber grommets that you use to manage your cables through one side of the case to the other are not the best quality. If you're planning of forcing that 24 pin mobo connector through the rubber grommet, keep this in mind. If gentle and not too forceful (unlike I was) then you'll have no issues. I on the other hand, managed to someone apply enough for the outright remove whatever adhesive was keeping the grommet bonded to the metal case. Now I have to be extra careful in the future when re-cable managing, but I'll take that as a my fault for being to rough I suppose. Just assumed in a $150+ case that important areas like that would be a bit stronger given how stiff PSU cables are from any given PSU supplier. Another con I feel the need to mention, albeit a small one, was completely mis-aligned magnets on the cases top dust filter. The magnets on one side are purposely offset as to allow radiator fan clearance among other great reasons, but mine for whatever reason was already peeling off and crooked... had to fix & make sure the adhesive re-stuck itself. Size may be a con to some, as this case is a big boy... definitely a full size ATX in every sense of the word. Last con I feel is worth mentioning as this may make or break what color a person chooses for their build (white or black case), keep in mind the black case does in fact come with a SMOKED glass side panel, unlike the white version of this case. It's not horrendously dark, if you have components with RGB on them you're 100% be able to see them, but nevertheless the side panel is for sure a darker, more smoked look when compared to the white version.All in all I see this case lasting me many years to come, & with many different builds as time goes along. I highly recommend if you're looking for a standard ATX case that's capable of push tons & tons of airflow, while still having adequate space and dust filters.8.5/10 rating.

It took three tries, but I finally received a "Corsair 5000D Airflow Tempered Glass Mid-Tower ATX PC Case - Black" with no damage. First case was used (lower price) but missing many items, second case was new but came with a shattered glass panel. The third was perfect. I wanted to upgrade the review rating ASAP since this is an excellent case and deserves acknowledgement in that regard.I have it assembled with an Asus Rog Strix Z690 E, i9-12900KF, a MSI Suprim X 4090 Liquid GPU with a 240mm rad (top mount) and Arctic 360mm V2 rad for CPU (front mount) with front fans added to achieve push/pull. The PSU is a Seasonic Vertex GX-1200 (strong and quiet). It was a bit tricky but I was able to mount the video card in a normal orientation without inducing any severe bends in the GPU hoses, Consequently, a vertical GPU mounting was not needed.I was able to mount the CPU AIO with with hose end of the rad mounted at bottom. This helps as the air pockets form at the top of rad so with hose at bottom there is never gurgling and the pump never experiences startup cavitation (note pump is lower than that rad top, the highest point). This placement was simplified by (1) arranging the push/pull setup which moves the Arctic CPU rad backwards (a bit closer to CPU) and (2) the large cut out in PSU shroud that Corsair helpfully provides for this purpose.Positioning the CPU rad hoses at bottom allowed for easy installation of the Suprim 240 rad (pull fan orientation) and permitted a total of 3 fans at top. I removed the two noisy/ineffective stock MSI fans from the Suprim rad (I left the original MSI GPU card assembly fan). The system now uses 13 Arctic P12 PST fans which are inexpensive, quiet with excellent airflow. The 64GB of Corsair Vengeance 6600 ram is under a Corsair DIMM fan fixture that uses Noctua NF-A6x25 fans. The Arctic AIO includes a PWM VRM fan and the PSU fan is 135mm PWM. So 18 fans total all PWM.One image shows the system running Cinebench R23 simultaneously with Fire Strike Extreme Stress. The total power draw is 850W which the Seasonic Vertex GX-1200 handles easily. Though there are 18 fans total, the Fan Xpert 4 software in combination with Nvidia bios runs the fans so that in this extreme condition they are relatively quiet. In normal gaming the fans are inaudible.I am not too keen on glass panels in general, so I ordered from Corsair a cable side panel to replace the board side glass panel (Corsair cleverly permits the side panels to interchange). I would have preferred that the board side panel be more fully perforated but it's not needed in this case which provides very adequate airflow. And yes, I paid $15 more to hide the system and the RGB lighting (which is all turned off anyway). The machine is for gaming, not gawking. If what I wanted was to see pretty colors under glass, I'd get a salt-water aquarium.I really don't understand the obsession with glass sides. Even if tempered, if the glass does break it will make a huge mess and will still offer risk to children/pets. A perforated steel cover would be more practical and certainly sturdier. It would allow just as much of the RGB vanity lighting to show through as would the dark glass panel. It should at least be an option.In conclusion, I have learned that buying a used case is false economy. It might be fine to purchase other things used, but considering all the bits and pieces that go into a case, unless you can get a 50% markdown and can tolerate the inevitable missing parts, a new case is the best bet.

What makes this case shine is the filters and ease it is to get to them, thought out space for wires and components which can be manipulated for your own build, high quality of the case itself. For example while I was installing my pc I had the filter on the floor so my cat decided to use it as a scratch pad, didn't even make the slightest tear or nick.
