The front I/O panel of the Corsair 4000D Airflow (actually up on top of the case) leaves a bit to be desired. A Look at the Front I/OĪ budget case is going to show its stripes in places, and the loadout of ports is one of them here.
Like in most cases, however, the vertical-mounting hardware and the necessary GPU riser cable are not included you'll have to find these yourself. The rear panel has two slots for vertical GPU mounting alongside the seven PCI Express card positions. In most such case designs, the supply gets isolated and has to fend for itself in terms of air through the bottom panel. This should help to keep the power supply relatively cool. Unlike on most rival cases, though, the metal sheet separating these two areas is covered in the same triangular perforations seen on the front of the case. The upper compartment holds the motherboard, whereas the lower compartment is walled off behind a shroud that holds the power supply and has room for storage devices. Like many other modern chassis, the 4000D Airflow is broken up into two main compartments. On the inside of the case, the perforations continue. This shouldn't hamper cooling much, however, due to the abundance of ventilation elsewhere and the front-to-back design. The right panel is a solid sheet of steel, and the left panel is tempered glass, without any cut-throughs for air to flow in or out on either side. The two sides of the chassis aren't quite as friendly in the airflow department. Two 120mm Corsair AirGuide fans are pre-mounted (one front, one back) to push things along.
Altogether, this makes for a clear path of low resistance for air to pass straight through the case.
The top is also perforated and covered by a large magnetic dust filter, and the back of the case has ventilation holes cut in it from top to bottom. In addition to incorporating that perforated front panel, Corsair also left large gaps on either side of this perforated section that permit additional inward ventilation. The "Airflow" in the name is no idle boast.

But its affordability and construction quality make it worth a look if you're shopping for a spiffy-on-a-budget PC case while saving up for the stuff inside. Priced at a low $79.99 with a tempered-glass side panel, it's far from the most feature-packed ATX mid-tower we've seen for under $100. Featuring a front panel covered in triangle perforations, Corsair's 4000D Airflow PC case has a distinctive-looking face and delivers what it promises: ample, well, airflow to keep your PC components cool under pressure.
