The 'inoffensive' looks were greatly understated. Part of the 4000D's appeal is that you don't need to hide it and it works with most home styles; the PC case equivalent of white shaker cabinets.

This was the #1 thing I was looking for when buying a new case and why I choose the 4000D. Didn't care about RGB, all of the budget friendly low end cases look awful and have branding all over them. The 4000D is sleek and inoffensive and I don't feel ashamed to have it on display in my room. It doesn't scream "gamer." It just looks like a modern minimalist PC. Also the price. The regular 4000D was on sale at the time I bought it for like $70 because they had too much in stock compared to the Airflow version.

When I was upgrading my build and moving it into a new case, I did a ton of research on what case options there were. I looked painstakingly for weeks.. The 4000D just has all the features you could want. It's affordable. It's spacious. It has giant cable routing holes for hassle-free build assembly (this is my favorite part). Airflow, with an easy to access and clean dust filter. Great cable management routes that aren't restrictive. It has a good aesthetic that is stylish but not offensive (it matches my taste in industrial furniture), I have the black version. Easy to open and close back panels (could be better, but my last Phanteks case was so bad here). It's just so convenient in ways that aren't gimmicks. Now, if only they can put this quality into their newer mice..

This was a nice CASE study, heh. And it goes to show how far a little simple research can go without sacrificing on aesthetics...even though you're right, a LOT of these cases are very same-y looking, but thankfully this does still mean that if you can find an older case on clearance, it'd be worth picking up because it'll still be compatible with a lot of modern systems.

The 4000D is great for a few big reasons: 1. It's affordable without being cheap 2. Corsair is is a large, familiar company 3. There is A LOT of KZfaq content readily available showing how well rounded the case is overall, along with building guides to help you along the way The vast majority of people buying this case are first-time builders (just like me) who especially appreciate the plentiful content and building guides.

@@peters.7428 . That’s pretty poor advice. The box is a bad idea except for testing and some cases could compromise compatibility. This being said, I do advocate for the cheapest case with reasonable build quality, all the features you want (looks), and compatibility with you components. I currently use a $19 (brand new at the time) Antec GX with a top mount AIO. I would also advocate for the purchase of used cases.

I wanted a case that was from a reputable brand, was easy to build in, and had excellent cooling. It took me so long to find a case that I liked. The first time I saw the Corsair 4000D airflow, I knew that was the case I was going to buy. I have had no complaints and I recommend this case to anyone building a new PC.

In my opinion, if you're an enthusiast, unless you really like buying and trying new towers or get a new one for every new build/upgrade, spending a little extra for one you can build in again and again isn't necessarily a bad plan either.

I forgot to mention the ONE downside to that case that I didn't like. It DOES have slots for a vertical mount gpu but you'd have to be a fool to use it. There is no airflow in the tempered glass panel on that side, so your gpu fans would be trying to utilize airflow right next to the glass panel.... that doesn't work very well. The only exception might be if you ran water cooling to the GPU, if it'll fit.

I have a 5000D Airflow and it's truly a great case! However, it is a bit tall for my taste (520 mm) and makes it harder to carry around IF you wanted to. All in all I'm very satisfied - the building experience was great.

The P360A has the same radiator size restrictions but takes up an extra 2 inches of depth. All Phanteks would have to do to make it the best on the market would be to add a second fan.

I still have my 800D, it has been my main case since it came out and and has seen quite a few different workstation builds inside it. All steel, basically indestructible with great bottom-sourced airflow and with an easy slide-out filter for easy cleaning. (They were one of the first to do that sort of thing.) Absolutely insane amounts of storage mounting, besides 2.5 inch ssds but who cares about that with all the nvme now? But even better, the main reason I haven't upgraded is the 4 easy access hot swap bays on the front, this is just part of the storage it has. I leave one free to attempt a data recovery if the need arises. (maybe even for someone else) I have been tempted by other cases, but I haven't been able to give the hot swap bays up. I know there are some you can mount in 3.5 inch bays but why wouldn't I just do that in this case if I cared for more, same with the 2.5 inch ssd thing? It has 5.

This way not only the AIO fans but also the case fans are cooling the AIO. 2 x 140mm exhaust fans (Noiseblocker B14-PS) at the top-side rear, while the included exhaust fan is mounted as lowly as possible (there is a bit of a range).

For vertical GPUs, you can use those for vertical riser kits, using the normal horizontal slots at the back, allowing greater than dual slot GPUs.

That's exactly what I did for my 3090. I bought a white 3rd party vertical mount that comes with a gen4 riser cable and cut out the horizontal bars in the back to pass cables in vertically and it looks sweet. Especially since my 3090 is not being choked off whatsoever since it is far from the glass side panel

I "upgraded" from a NZXT H500 to the Corsair 4000D Airflow; both were pretty much the same price at the time of their respective purchase but the 4000D is just so much better. Also the reason why I bought mine is because I built a $600~ custom keyboard in white and grey, and I wanted my whole setup to match, so I also got a G-Pro superlight in white (has grey accents) and the 4000D airflow in white with grey accents.

Back when the S340 was first released I wanted to get it because of its looks and at the time I was 12, I built my first PC (using a good amount of money I had busted my ass for) in 2019 and got the H510 and since then I've put a 3070ti in it and my CPU cooler was a cheap liquid cooler from Deep Cool, Temps are horrible with my CPU idling at 60/70c and my GPU at 40c. DO NOT RECOMMEND, but I did it for a childhood dream.

Love how we hav similar stories. Had the white S340 then eventually upgraded to the H510 and that was sufficient when I had 60-series GPUs. Once I got the 3070 Ti, made the upgrade to the 4000D. NZXT still has the most cleanest design but the 4000D sacrifices some while adding in some much needed performance.

Really glad you mentioned Phanteks, to me they make the best cases of all time and it's great to build in easy to manage cables cuz they always give you more than enough room in the back and they give you those really really awesome extra screws. I now have three of those boxes that I tell you right now I will never ever stop from using a Phanteks

When I bought my 4000D airflow case I bought it because I liked the simplistic look and dark tempered glass panel it had. It was also a decent size. Not too big and not too small. Also Bestbuy was having a sale at 60$ for the case so no way I could not buy it. When it finally got it I did have the dust filter problem mentioned in the video. The dust filter was warped and would get suck in and touch the fans which created a really annoying buzzing sound but I emailed corsair as well as sent a quick 10 second video of the dust filter causing the sound and they promptly mailed me a new dust filter free of charge within like 4 days. I upgraded from the corsair 460x and super glad I did because the XFX 6800xt Merc that I got would not have fit in the 460x. And no, I didn't get it because it was "popular" as stated in the video. I didn't expect it to get so popular when I got mine actually.

Watching this video while admiring my 4000D airflow with Signal RGB Fire theme. Also the CableMod vertical GPU mount does well in this case. My triple fan 6600xt had no issues clearing the tubes from the AIO while vertical and theres still about an inch of room from the AIO to the end of the gpu.

I got myself a Core V21. Great airflow. Plenty of space for cable management at the bottom, fits huge gpu cards and huge coolers like the Noctua D15. Modded my case for extra nose insulation. No useless RGB garbage and all the air filters I could want. Fully planning on reusing this case with new computers later on.

Had to transfer my PC from a Meshify C case to the 4000D Airflow because of radiator clearance with the Trident Z RAM kit that I'm running. It actually comes with a few other advantages over the Meshify C as well, while still being roughly the same price. It was a no brainer. However, that's the living room PC. My personal rig is sitting in a glorious Meshify 2 from Fractal and I absolutely love it. I think Fractal's latest cases have all been great, and mostly fairly priced. I do wish the mid tower Torrent case was a bit cheaper, but the quality really is worth it at the end of the day.

I built my first original full-custom-build with a Corsair 200R back when that came out. I've actually been using that case for the last 3 times I upgraded since I knew it back-to-front and it was just a solid case. My latest rebuild I finally decided to get a new case. Since I'd had such a great experience with Corsair I just googled "Corsair case", saw the 4000D and said "yep that's the one" and bought it without a second thought. I finally decided to look up a review on it since I had taken a moment today to admire the case after building it a month ago. Glad to see I was justified 👍

My personal favorite case lately has been the SilentiumPC Regnum RG6V TG, you can find the non-RGB version for around $60, it has great airflow, 4 fans included, easy to build in, radiator support is good and the build quality is also great for the price. Obviously it wont beat the 4000D, but for almost half the price ? Pretty good deal in my opinion and you get 40 bucks to spend elsewhere.

I only used this on my last PC build because Newegg shipped every single component for my ground up build at the same time, minus the case, which I had planned on being the beQuiet 500dx. I decided to cancel that case and went out to BestBuy the day that all of the other components came in, because I wasn’t willing to wait another week. BestBuy had two cases in stock. The 4000D Airflow, and the 4000D RGB, both in black. Went with the Airflow. Haven’t looked back. I’ve built in hundreds of PC cases over the last decade. This case I can honestly say has been the most enjoyable. Simple. Intuitive. Awesome thermals and looks very good. Worked out too, Newegg sent the 500dx despite me canceling it. Gave it to a friend for free, and he wound up having me swap his ASUS G15CS prebuilt system into it. 10/10 would buy this case again.
