The looks are sweet alright, the tempered glass gives it that marvelous look and feel. The top side cover is kept in place with mounts, if you look closely at the bezel, there is spacing left in-between the edges for lots of airflow. The 7000X provides plenty of space for radiators and can support many case fans. The chassis has a modest size of 550mm x 248mm x 600mm/ 20.47in x 9.65in x 20.47in. Motherboard form factors supported are E-ATX, ATX, microATX, and when you think about it, how cute would that look ... Mini-ITX. Out of the box, the Corsair 7000X looks a lot like a larger version of the 5000D.
At the backside we see eight plus three expansion slots, dual-slot cards can be set up in Crossfire or SLI mode as well (albeit that went the way of the dodo), one 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 140mm m SP RGB ELITE fans. A cable management system makes it effortless to route major cables through a single channel, with at least 25mm of routing depth behind the motherboard. The bottom PSU bay sits underneath a shroud and comes with two sets of mounting holes.
At the top, the front panel connectivity can be found, including 4x USB 3.x, 1x USB 3.2 Type C, power, reset, headphone/mic. and that's it. New is the yellow-colored USB port, that matches the Corsair signature theme. The glass panels of the Corsair 7000X are one of the cleanest looking available, a notch heavier tinted, which I do like.
Everything is detachable, the entire front glass bezel can be pulled out, and then you can reach the dust filter. The top glass panel can simply be lifted out, giving you access to the dust filter and very quickly the ability to install, say, an LCS radiator.
Something I deem to be sweet, the side glass panel is actually a door, just pull it towards you and open it up. Corsair includes push pins on each side, which is excellent if you need to quickly access the interior. Very nicely hinged.
