Corsair 4000D Airflow Tempered Glass Mid-Tower ATX PC Case

Good: Just about everything. This is my first PC build in a few years, and it was pleasing to see that the state of the art has advanced quite a bit. The case is attractive without being garish, lightweight despite the glass panel but solid. Edges are deburred and painted, although there were a couple of rough spots in hidden places which, of course, I immediately found digitally while checking things out. The side panels are ridiculously easy to remove; two fasteners, tip the panel out and slide off. USB ports and controls on the top edge of the case. Two drive bays, which can probably accommodate four SSDs, set crosswise in the case because why not, I guess. I was briefly taken aback that there are no bays accessible at the front panel, but on reflection there's no real need for that nowadays. In their place, the entire front panel can be stuffed with fans if desired. There is certainly no lack of ventilation, large grilles in front, rear, and top (the top is covered with a nifty removable pet-fur and fluff filter,) and you can mount fans in all of them. It comes with one fan each in front and rear. The layout in general is logical and builder-friendly, cables almost route themselves. Comes with a handful of zip ties and a good assortment of fasteners. Very good price for what you get.Bad: The supplied fans are a bit buzzy at full speed. I'm planning to add fans anyway so I might as well replace them. I'm also not a big fan (ha) of the glass side panel, even though that seems to be the style now. I'm not going RGB-happy and turning my rig into a scale-model rave club, so would have preferred an option to get this box with a regular steel panel.Ugly: The shipping box appears to have been dropped rather hard on one corner. It was well-packed, so no visible harm done.Bottom line: Considering that it isn't difficult to lay out $150 or more for a case nowadays, this is a great value. You get everything you need in an attractive, well-engineered package. If they'd used some Noctua fans to keep things quiet when the CPU/GPU get busy, it would be just about perfect. As is, I'm very happy with it. Five stars.

I recently built my first PC a few weeks ago and I chose my parts through a build guide on pcpartpicker (a great website I really recommend to anyone). I had no idea about what made a case good before ordering this case, but it was only $80 so I went with it as my case cause it looked nice. After having some time building the pc within it and using it, I can highly recommend it as a pretty spacious and airflow positive case.What I liked most about the case is the accessibility to mount fans all along the front top and rear of the case. I really don't like the idea of my PC getting too warm, so I got additional corsair fans to mount all around it to pull air in and out, which was very easy to install for this case.I love the finish of the metal, I got the black version, and I appreciate the matte metal finish, no blemishes were on mine, and the tempered glass is a nice tinted kind and also nice and hefty, so I like the overall build quality of this case. Very simple and effective and I would recommend it for someone who isn't going with a flashy pc build. Certainly would also look good with the all RGB lights design, but I didn't go that route.Another thing I hate is dust. Man I dislike getting dust on my electronic equipment, so what scared me about this case was that it has so much open areas for air to flow through the case, that dust would start to pile up inside. But I was excited to see that the front, top and bottom of the case all have dust guards that either clip in or are attached via magnets. So rinsing these dust guards off every so often will keep the inside of you pc nice and dust free, which I really enjoy. Also just to note, Corsair is going with yellow highlights on certain screws and their branding on one of the dust guards, but it is extremely small amount of yellow. Besides these yellow highlights the case is all black, but its something to keep in mind if you don't want any other color on your case. I suppose you could remove them if you'd like, but I enjoy the yellow tags.The cable management for this case is really nice, as there are many channels and openings from the front to back of the case to get your cables through and wrap up with ties. The case also comes with these nice corsair velcro ties that hold big bundles of your cables together with, and I appreciate that include as they were really nice and big.There are only three cons I can think of for this case, and they aren't very big:1. Some of the metal pieces, especially the pieces you will connect the exterior fans or radiator to, are really thin pieces of metal. While I like that they are thin, when you screw in the fans, you need to be careful cause they can be easy to bend. Again it's not even that bad, just be careful when screwing things into this case case the metal can be so thin.2. The big tempered glass door on the front sits very securely in place, but when you want to open the front of the case you need to unscrew the panel to the case and physically pull it out and place it somewhere else. This is the same for the back of the case too, but the back panel is metal. The biggest difference I wish this case had was that this glass panel swung out, so that you didn't need to take it off. Its still really well made, but I like my glass panel to be free of smudges, and when you have to handle it and take it off every time you need to access the inside of your pc, it is annoying having to physically take it off and get your fingerprints on the glass.3. The last thing is that the power supply with the cables is a really tight fit in the bottom of the PC, but its only tight if you have the hard drive holder in. I would suggest unscrewing the hard drive holder and taking that out when you are building inside your pc so you can easily get at the power supply. WIth the hard drive holder out, its actually pretty accessible to get to the power supply ports. The only con here is that its such a tight fit with the holder in, and trying to screw the hard drive holder in while all the cables are running up next to it into the power supply is really annoying and tight.Besides those three really small cons, I really enjoy the look, feel and accessibility of this case. I would recommend to anyone who wants that airflow quality and I like the look of it as well, really simple and clean.

Case arrived very well packaged in a box, with good protection and manual.A good amount of screws included for mounting drives, screws for mounting fans and two kind of straps for cable management, stands to mount motherboard of any format.Manual details very well how to open the side panels with care and the system is relly well desgined, it's useful if you need to add more drives or manage cables even after finishing assembling your PC.Plenty of space even for big GPUs.Mesh system makes it easy to reduce dust inside the case and they can be easily removed for cleaning.Screw system to remove side panels and expansion slot shields is awesome.Space to fit drives and PSU is very generous.A total of 2 HDD and 2 SSD can be added.Support for all forms of Motherboards from ATX to mini ATX.I'm very happy with this case.
