Specifications

The CORSAIR 2500D AIRFLOW case puts your build on display behind tempered glass panels. CORSAIR RapidRoute cable management easily keeps your cables hidden from sight, while a massive interior enables a multitude of cooling options, including room for up to three simultaneous 360mm radiators. Show off your components behind a (fairly_ tool-free tempered glass panel and add your own personal touch with a windowed PSU shroud.  

The Corsair 2500 Series cases offer modularity, allowing for customization of panels to enhance the appearance of the PC case. A selection of accessories, excluding spare parts, is available to augment the 2500 Series cases with additional functionalities. The available accessories are outlined below:

  • Elite Panel Kits for the 2500 Series: These kits enable customization of the PC case with panels that come in five distinct finishes, catering to different aesthetic preferences.
  • These accessories enhance the functionality and appearance of the Corsair 2500 Series cases, offering users the flexibility to tailor their setups to their preferences.
  • Motherboard Cable Cover for the 2500 Series: Designed for the 2500D/2500X cases, this accessory aims to conceal cables elegantly by placing a cover over the side fan mounts, contributing to a cleaner aesthetic.
  • Glass Conversion Kit for the 2500 Series: Specifically for the 2500D case, this kit allows for the integration of a tempered glass panel, transforming the appearance to resemble that of the 2500X case, thus adding a visual dimension to the setup.
  • Vertical GPU Mount Kit for the 2500 Series: Tailored for the 2500D and 2500X cases, this kit positions the graphics card vertically, making it a focal point. It includes a 175mm PCIe 4.0 riser cable, specifically shortened for this purpose.
  • RapidRoute Retrofit Kit: This kit is designed to facilitate cable management within the 2500 and 6500 Series cases by incorporating two additional cable management bars and points for zip ties, enhancing compatibility across both series.
