The back of the chassis is another place for fans, but again is made for 120mm fans, and Corsair places a fan in this location for a total of two included fans in a chassis named AIRFLOW. There is a third option for fan or radiator placement, which is found to the right of the motherboard tray but is designed to hold only 120mm fans, up to three of them. The second option is the top of the chassis, which is identical to the front, but no fan is placed there from Corsair. The chassis is made mostly of steel, with a few bits made of plastic here and there, and the left side of our 5000D AIRFLOW chassis is covered with dark tinted tempered glass.Ĭooling inside the 5000D AIRFLOW can be done through a section at the front of the case, with room for three 120mm or two 140mm fans, and one 120mm fan is placed in this area. However, the UPS label on the box does state thirty-five pounds, so we would hazard to guess that thirty of those pounds are the case. In the chart provided to us in the reviewer's guide, Corsair starts with the 520mm height, the 245mm width, and the 520mm depth, but no mention of the weight. However, what you are about to look at is so overthought that the fine details get lost, and you end up paying way too much for a chassis that while it looks good on the outside, as soon as you get inside, things start to go belly up! We get it is CES season and all that, and companies need to show something. As far as we can tell, at this point, this is just a paper launch, as the 5000D we are looking at now is not available for purchase on this side of the pond, not even from Corsair. The other thing about this chassis and all of the recommendations and gold awards being handed out to it only applies to the very few Corsair had made for reviewers. While this may not be a deal-killer for us, it was the first in a long line of things done in this chassis that makes us scratch our head and ask why Corsair is trying to reinvent the wheel at the cost of the consumer? It is almost as if this chassis was designed to frustrate its users while costing them a considerable amount to be used as lab rats! and explained what had happened, and Corsair stepped up to overnight a panel so that we could continue with the process of reviewing the chassis. Things went well until we removed the chassis from the box, and in our attempt to replace the glass side panel, it slid out of the chassis and shattered all over our photo booth.
