As it stands, this design feature, in my opinion, makes the iCue 7000D Airflow a better case than an iCue 7000X RGB for buyers who aren’t RGB hounds. Of course, if you want to have consummate control of the RGB lighting in this chassis (and that is part of the reason most buyers will shell out extra for the 7000X RGB), not having the extra controller would be a deal breaker. But I’m fine without it. Three Included 140mm Fans with PWM Repeater: CORSAIR AirGuide fans utilize anti-vortex vanes to concentrate airflow and enhance cooling. All the Storage You Need: Fits a multitude of drives thanks to 6x combo 2.5in / 3.5in drive trays and 4x 2.5in SSD mounts. All-Around Easy Access: Two tool-free hinged side panels with simple and secure snap-on attachment, along with removable front and roof panels, enable easy access to your components.

CORSAIR RapidRoute Cable Management System: Makes it simple and fast to route your major cables through a single hidden channel, with an easy-access hinged door and a roomy 30mm of space behind the motherboard for all of your cables. High-Airflow Front Panel: An optimized steel front panel delivers massive airflow to your system for maximum cooling. I can't imagine ever owning enough hardware to warrant a case of this magnitude, yet even on a modest build it's easy to appreciate the amount of extra room. Everything goes in with minimal fuss, cable-routing holes and tie-down points are plentiful, a choice of offset rails allows flexibility when mounting radiators, and there's good filtration throughout. The front, top and side fan mounts are all lined with mesh filters that are easy to remove, and the filter beneath the PSU pulls out to the side for easy access. The CORSAIR 7000D AIRFLOW is a full-tower ATX case for the most ambitious builds, with an airflow-optimized steel front panel for maximum air intake. CORSAIR RapidRoute cable management easily keeps your cables hidden from sight, while a massive interior enables a multitude of cooling options, including up to 12x 120mm fans or up to three simultaneous 360mm radiators. Three included 140mm CORSAIR AirGuide fans deliver concentrated airflow for enhanced cooling, and customizable side fan mounts hold up to a 420mm radiator. Show off your components behind a tool-free tempered glass panel and add your own personal touch with a customizable windowed PSU shroud complete with a three-slot vertical GPU mount. With room for up to ten storage drives, a front I/O panel including a USB Type-C port and four USB 3.0 ports, and easy-access hinged side doors, you can build your legacy in the 7000D AIRFLOW.On the other hand, you do get an integrated SATA-powered fan hub that allows half-a-dozen four-pin fans to be connected to a single PWM header, and an 8+3 expansion-slot arrangement whose bundled converter can be used to rotate the bottom six horizontal slots to a further four vertical. Build Your Legacy: The 7000D AIRFLOW is a full-featured, full-tower case offering easy cable management, a spacious interior, and massive cooling potential with room for up to three simultaneous 360mm radiators. Three-Slot Vertical GPU Mount: Put the spotlight on your graphics card with a vertical mount on the PSU shroud, big enough for today’s most powerful graphics cards.

It's a giant alright, yet Corsair does well to maintain a familiar design language across the range. The 4000D, 5000D and 7000D are all instantly recognisable, and each comes across as clean and modern, with sleek lines, elegant mesh panelling and good symmetry throughout. Despite being blown-up to these proportions, the 7000D remains an attractive piece of kit.Speaking of which, you'll find room for a 120/140 at the rear (one 140mm included), three 120/140s up top, four 120s or three 140s in front (two 140mm included) and a further four 120s on a dedicated panel alongside the motherboard tray, giving users the ability to side-mount up to a 480mm radiator. The hinged rear side panel is outfitted with a patterned vent to maximise airflow, and comes pre-lined with a magnetic dust filter. If you are liquid cooling - which you really should be on a case of this ilk - there are plenty of ways to go about it. It is possible to simultaneously install a trio of 360mm radiators, or two of Corsair's biggest all-in-one, the aforementioned iCue H170i. The front and top panels are both built similarly, with large fan vents, removable covers, and dust filters. The front I/O panel is set on the top of the case and is one of the better arrangements that I’ve seen in recent years. It has a total of five USB ports, four of which are classic USB 3.1 Type-A ports and the last a Type-C port (which connects via the newer USB 3.2-style motherboard header). The only thing missing up here that I might like to see is a flash-card reader, but those are getting scarce in any aftermarket PC cases these days. For as long as I can remember, I've had love of all things tech, spurred on, in part, by a love of gaming. I began working on computers owned by immediate family members and relatives when I was around 10 years old. I've always sought to learn as much as possible about anything PC, leading to a well-rounded grasp on all things tech today. In my role at PCMag, I greatly enjoy the opportunity to share what I know.

The case feels well built, and it looks like a premium PC case should. We’re also happy to see the solid right-side panel; the trend toward tempered-glass excess has invaded the side panels behind the motherboards on plenty of modern cases, and keeping things looking neat on that side of a big PC is a thankless, punishing task. The 7000D Airflow’s huge size has its merits when it comes to fitting in lots of components, and it makes building inside easy, but moving the case around is going to be a two-person or power-lifter’s job. It’s not going to fit inside of many desks, either. Indeed, it’s too long to fit on our testing desk without setting it sideways, which will be the situation for many people. Definitely measure twice, before buying once.Colossal Cooling Potential: A massive interior accommodates up to 12x 120mm or 7x 140mm cooling fans, and makes it possible to install multiple radiators including 3x simultaneous 360mm or 2x simultaneous 420mm for extreme cooling. Customizable Windowed PSU Shroud: Add your own personalized inserts, perfect for creating a jaw-mod There's obviously plenty of room for a choice of motherboard form factors, up to and including E-ATX, and clearance for almost any component isn't in question. We say almost as our be quiet! power supply wouldn't go in without removing one of the drive cages beforehand, and it's a sign of the times that even a case as substantial as this features not a single 5.25in optical bay. Customizable Side Fan Mounts: Side-mount up to 4x 120mm fans or up to a 420mm radiator, opening up a new world of cooling options.
