Corsair 7000D Airflow Full-Tower Alloy Steel ATX Computer Case/Gaming Cabinet – Black | Support – Mini-ITX, Micro-ATX, ATX, E-ATX | Included Three…

I build gaming computers for a living for a small IT company and i recently used this case for my own personal build. Whenever i bring this thing to work to blow it out and do maintenance people always stand around it and say what a nice computer it is. ( Also using 1st gen Lian li uni fans ) Side panel is nicely tinted. great quality and ALOT of cable management room. Everything deels solid and like its a quality piece. ONLY downside wich i always overlook for a great computer… is its HEAVY. Once you have a Seasnoic PSU and a 3070 + its hard to move around. I have a bad disk in my back so always getting other people to carry it around. Also its HUGE. But to me thats what you want when you really wanna make sure your stuff stays cool. I have 6 140mm fans at 800 RPM. 3 intake onfront and 3 exhaust out the top Lots of volume for lots of airflow and cant even hear it.

I have experience with both the 5000D and this case, 7000D. I have built similar systems with both. The 5000D would be my minimum case size to balance airflow and space. For my personal build, I need more room for expansion and I like to just have alot of space.

This is a HEAVY case with very minimal places where you can get a good grip. The case itself alone is probably 50lbs. Then fully loaded you’re pushing 75lbs. It’s very sturdy and built like a tank. The side panels are thick. I believe the glass is 1mm thicker than that of the 5000D (in which there been cases of where 5000D glass sides are shattering). Everything in the 7000D is similar to the 5000D but just bigger and roomier. I have an Intel 13900KF + RTX 4090 (beast card) with plenty of room to spare. I added a couple of extra fans to keep the rig as cool as possible. I’m running air cooled with Noctua DH-15S. You can easily fit Corsair’s largest AIO coolers. I had considered this but didn’t want to deal with leaks and other issues. If you wanted to, you can load this up with 10-11 case fans. There’s that much space. I like the magnetic dust screens. There’s not a whole lot of plastic pieces, which is why it’s so heavy. Plenty of space for the RTX 4090. Cable management in the back is ok. There’s primarily one main channel that’s used and it’s already housing alot of just the case cables. If you start adding the PSU cables, you’ll find the channel gets thick such that the inner door won’t shut. It does have other channels that you can use but because the case is so big, unless your cables are custom and extra long, you’ll end up routing via shortest distance. Cable management on the front side is ok. There are shrouds in place but I had to remove one because it caused too much bend in the motherboard cable if used. The grommet holes are ok. Would like to see some larger grommet holes at the top and bottom. Accessories are kinda bare minimum and comes in a cardboard box. Not like some other case vendors where you get a nice plastic case. Not a big deal. Lots of space for external drives (which is one reason why I got it) – (2-4) SSDs + (6) 3.5HDD cages. The cages are metal but drive brackets are plastic with no rubber vibration dampeners. So there will be noise. I like how there’s plenty of USB3.0 A and C front panel connectors. Minimal lighting (got the non-RGB one). But the big selling feature is the amount of airflow you can get through this case. Because of the larger fans and airflow, the case is super quiet for me and my idle temps are pretty low. Overall, I like the case. Is it the best? I think there are better (Be Quiet! Dark Base 901 or Cooler Master Cosmos) but they were also more expensive. I didn’t want to spend too much on a case and this was already pushing it. For the balance of build, features, and price it worked for me. Lastly, the internals have some nice configurability options that should suit anyone’s needs for extra fans or more minimalist look or expansion of room.

Anyone thinking about getting the Corsair SHIFT series PSUs, there’s plenty of space for the side mounted cabling. For rear mounted PSUs, there’s room if you remove one of the 3.5″ HDD drive cages.

If you plan to vertically mount GPU (I didn’t), I believe there is enough room between the glass side panel and the GPU for decent airflow. It’s much more space than the 5000D. I wouldn’t even consider vertically mounting GPU in the 5000D. The 7000D will work though. This case did come with an anti-sag mount for the GPU which is nice.

It’s came pretty stingy with only 3 fans – 2 front and 1 back. But I guess most people get their own fans. I just added two 140mm to get 3 fans in front, 1 on top, and 1 in back. I may add more fans on the top if there’s a need. I did not bother adding fans to the side panel – you can literally go crazy with too many fans.

The bottom feet on the case are kinda stubby and low. My case is on low pile carpet, so there isn’t alot of space for PSU to get good airflow. But I think my PSU fan runs in quiet mode. I do wish case manufacturers think about this. You can probably put this case on the table BUT it’s BIG.. may over power your desk setup.

Because it’s so heavy, it will be challenging to move around. I have thought of getting a wheeled platform to put the case on because of this. This could be an issue so you may want to consider something lighter or smaller.

Well, it’s heavy even before you build your PC, but afterwards it gets crazy heavy & I’m a fairly fit person. You probably won’t move it around that much.
