Corsair To Release 4000D AIRFLOW chassis with advanced cable management
Corsair is preparing to release the 4000D chassis, aimed at mid-range gaming desktops, and we have the first photos. The mid-tower will allow the use of ATX motherboards and it has an innovative RapidRoute cable management system with fixed cable ties.
The chassis has seven expansion cards. The graphics card can be mounted vertically. The chassis will provide the flexibility to form an air or liquid cooling system. In the second case, it is possible to use cooling radiators up to 360 mm. The top panel features a USB 3.x Type-A port, a USB Type-C connector, and a combined audio jack. The novelty will be offered in four modifications: these are options with a “blank” and a mesh front panel, for each of which there are black and white-gray colors.
An Amazon listing popped up on this chassis, it would become available coming September 15th, 2020 for $79 and in four versions with the primary color tones being black and white.

Corsair crystal 680x is absolutely gorgeous irl and super easy to cable manage since it has a huge space behind, I wish I could use it but it's too cramped for my threadripper nuclear reactor (not the cpu but the vrm,chipset,3+ nvme all generate quite a bit of heat)
like above comments, mid towers might look great on a youtuber's desk but I wish they made "big tower" versions of them

actually this is really a good pragmatic design, especially considering the fact we're in the "moar cores" era. most itx and matx (if you can find one) have limited VRMs and ATX is just cheaper...typically with better VRMs. if the airflow is truly as good as the hype than this is an excellent case unless you want luxury materials ( i.e aluminum or anodized).

There are only 3 case designs: 99% are the basic tower with the power supply shroud and front fans(which is pretty ugly), the o11 dynamic/dual chamber cases, and the core p3. I think an area of the case market that is not served well is high end air cooled computers with like 2+ GPUs. My idea for a case is like the o11 dynamic but remove the side intake move and move the front up really close to the GPUs like the meshify c and replace the front glass with either acrylic or class with large ventilation holes (only small enough to block fingers from getting in) and an optional magnetic dust filter. And make the clearance big enough for like a 180mm air cooler like the o11 xl. This way we get closer fans on the front and fans on the bottom for the GPU. It's like the air 540 from a while ago but actually good. Another more radical idea I had is to make the top and bottom of the case for GPUs and use risers to connect to the motherboard, that way they exhaust straight out of the case instead of dumping the heat onto the card below them our out of the tiny pci slot in the case of blower cards and have more room for air. This is great for people who do rendering or machine learning where 2+ GPUs really helps and usually they are all air cooled because they need reliability above anything else. These sort of people have deep pockets, make up a large portion of the market, are underserved with stupid case designs, and are looking to buy hundreds of an easy drop in solution for their studio or computer lab where server racks are not the optimal solution. It seems like every case above $100 is designed like there is no such thing as air cooling

I agree. Its like we get either airflow or aesthetics, never both.
At least corsair isn't doing cases with protuding side screws anymore. Those ruffles my jimmies.
