The looks are really appealing; the tempered glass lends it a great appearance and feel. The top side cover is secured by mounts, and if you look closely at the bezel, you'll notice that there is plenty of space between the sides for airflow. The 5000T has lots of radiator space and can accommodate a large number of case fans. The chassis is 530mm x 251mm x 560mm / 20.87in x 9.88in x 22.05in in size. Supported motherboard form factors include E-ATX, ATX, microATX, and, if you think about it, how adorable would it be if... Mini-ITX.

At the backside we see eight plus two expansion slots, a card could be mounted vertically (you'd need a riser cable of course). All the way below we see the PSU section. PSU wise, you name it... it'll fit as we'll show you later on, however, likely an HDD tray needs to be removed to actually be able to mount a long PSU. The chassis at default is fitted with 3x LL120 RGB fans. A cable management system makes it effortless to route major cables through a channel, with at least 25mm of routing depth behind the motherboard. The bottom PSU bay sits underneath a shroud.

At the top is the front panel connectivity, which has four USB 3.x ports, one USB 3.2 Type C port, power, reset, and headphone/mic. That is all. The yellow-colored USB port is a recent addition that complements the Corsair hallmark aesthetic. The Corsair 5000T left side glass panel are among the finest looking available, slightly darker colored, which I prefer. Top side uncovered USB ports can collect dust cover time. It would be nice if Corsair would consider a cover of some sort in following models.

Everything is detachable, the entire front bezel can be pulled out, and then you can reach the dust filter. The top panel can simply be lifted out, giving you access to the dust filter and very quickly the ability to install, say, an 280/360 LCS radiator.

Something I think is really cool is that the side glass- and side panel doubles as a door; all you have to do is pull it towards you to open it. Pushpins are included on each side of the case, which is quite convenient if you need to rapidly access the interior. Very nicely hinged.
