Corsair's been busy with some new products, chassis in the same style as the dual chamber. The CORSAIR 2500 Series Micro ATX Dual Chamber cases represent a strategic move by CORSAIR to re-engage with the dual chamber case market, building upon the heritage of renowned predecessors like the 680X and Air 540. This new lineup is engineered to enhance the segment by concentrating on three principal aspects. These cases offer users the flexibility to alternate between airflow and glass configurations, alongside a variety of accessories such as panels made from different materials. The design supports motherboards with reverse connectors (such as ASUS BTF and MSI Project Zero) and integrates with iCUE LINK to conceal cables, facilitating immaculate builds in both visible and hidden areas of the case. Tailored for enthusiasts, the cases feature a durable steel frame, strategic cutouts, and multiple cable management options. They cater to high-end configurations with ample airflow and include additional accessories like a vertical GPU mounting bracket with a riser cable. Innovations like re-engineered cable grommets and fan screws simplify the assembly process.
The 2500 Series is distinguished by its proper cooling capabilities, providing extensive support for numerous fans and diverse radiator placement options at the front (exclusive to Airflow models), top, bottom, and side of the case. These cases are compatible with reverse connection motherboards, enabling a clutter-free showcase of the internal components. They offer ample space for cable management and can accommodate up to four storage drives in the secondary chamber, ensuring a neat and visually appealing setup. The 2500X and 2500D AIRFLOW models are sold without fans. The 2500X RGB version of course has fans, available shortly thereafter, includes three CORSAIR RX120 RGB fans and the iCUE LINK System hub, further enhancing the aesthetic and functional appeal of the build.
