This Is Corsair's Best PC Case

The Corsair 3000D is a fantastic case now starting at $75. For a mid-tower, it supports plenty of cooling gear, oversized motherboards, and tons of cables. Airflow is also excellent - as we've come to expect from its 4000D Airflow counterpart. Let's build and discuss!

I knew this would a slightly controversial opinion hahah! The 4000D is great for the price. Always has been IMO. But for around $15 less and no tinted glass, I'm willing to overlook the cable bar and front Type-C omissions in the 3000D. This case didn't garner a ton of attention when it launched a while back, so I thought this would be a nice reminder that, yes, Corsair actually sells stuff that doesn't break the bank. Thanks for watching!

- Corsair case.
- NZXT mobo.
- Kingston RAM.
- WD NVME maybe?
- Bequiet CPU cooler.
- ASUS GPU.
- EVGA PSU.

What a mix ... loved it!

I made a build in this case a couple of weeks ago and while it's cheap it has some deal breakers:

- fans RGB pins are not standard
- it includes an RGB splitter but not a PWM
- it has the cutouts for 2.5 drives on the back of the motherboard but not the mounting
- front fans are not mounted in a bracket, just screwed in the case. Usually it wouldn't bother me, but the lower fan installation makes you remove the HDD caddy to be able to screw/unscrew them

I have the 5000D and i don't regret it

I have the 4000D and i'm very happy with it.

This is basically a cutdown version of the 4000D Airflow. No cable management bar, no option for a vertical mount, and not front psu clip. Obviously a different front panel. But the case should fit 280mm top mounted with low profile ram. And I just noticed that the front panel buttons are mounted differently from the 4000D. And the 4000D has a type-c port.

i am still rocking my 5000D air since release in white and gray and love it longest case i have ever kept

When I was at Microcenter, and looking at the various cases by several vendors, I get the impression that some of the designs are a step or two away from the traditional rectangular box. Thank you Mr Salazar!

Looks a lot like the Corsair 275R Airflow, which is what I have. I think the biggest difference is that it has much larger holes for cable routing.

I agree with the 4000D as the best. I just built my new system using the 4000D, and it DOES have the USB-C upfront as well as several other nice to haves...seems a bit bigger.. but if your budget is really tight this could be a good one.. but for an additional $20.. the 4000D is worth it.

Just bought this one for my first build! Good to know I made a solid choice. Thanks!

I got the 4000d and 5000d one for my am4 and one for my am5 setups there nice 👌

I've been a fan of Corsair for the past year as their fans, AIOs and cases are very good quality. It's kind of like you're paying for a name brand more so than anything but ever since I set up my past two builds, they work so well and look amazing. Their ICUE software is very good as well and allows for a lot of customization to RGB profiles. This was a good build. Well done sir.

When I was looking for a case to upgrade to 6 months ago, I was choosing between 3 cases: 4000d, 5000d, and 7000d. I'd have gone with the 4000d because of its airflow and great price, but I was intent on running a dual gpu setup.

For this to work, I'd need ample airflow, and I was worried that the 4000d wouldn't be enough for it. The 5000d and 7000d both have options to mount extra intake fans on the side of the case. This way, you'd have air coming in from the front and side. The 7000d seemed too expensive, large, and overkill for my uses. So I chose the 5000d.

Yes, I know SLI has been dead for a long time making dual gpu systems useless. I have a dual monitor setup, so I wanted to have my main gpu running my main monitor. And a second weaker gpu running my second monitor to reduce the load on my main gpu.

One of my builds has an old Corsair airflow case and it's held up remarkably well, and looks pretty much the same despite being years old.
I'm in the market for a more modern case now with all the new features, but not a fat square box or a fishtank.

Montech has great sub $100 options as well.

Recently I picked up a new case at Micro Center. I was going to choose this case but I ended up with a cooler master TD300. It was marked down to 15bucks you heard me correct 15bucks and there was 4 more lol! When I went to the register the employee said I guess were just giving away cases now lol.

The 4000D is only about $5 more on Amazon if you don care about size and it has some things corrected/changed about the 3000D that you didn't like.

[AstiLoyce]

I got this case (3000D RGB) instead of the 4000D just because i needed two frontal USB A ports instead of an A and a C port, and its looks have grown on me a lot, it looks so nice tbh

This case has been great for my home theater machine. It accomodates by Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 and fans in the front. 5600X idles at 30C and six fans running at 950rpm, day and night. Great airflow compared to my older Corsair Carbide 275Rs, which did not allow enough space for the ALF II 360 radiator thickness. No RGB and all black kit really is a stealth build for a home theater.
