I love this case and hope an updated version comes out like, yesterday, cause I'd buy 5 if: - The psu cable is routed through the interior. - The top panel is actually mesh, and not just for looks. - It has proper 25mm fan support
Have a look at the Silverstone Alta G1M. It's a similar footprint and supports M-ATX. However, it takes most of its airflow from the bottom via a 180mm (Air Penetrator) fan, and IO is accessible from the top. There is a 360mm radiator bracket on one side, and you can get away with fitting 2x 120mm fans on one side if you don't want 2.5in/3.5in drive mounts.
I share your opinion, expect on the 25mm fans: for me it's great to push the market in the direction of smaller/more efficient fans (for mini-ITX, dont care when you have a 1billion liters PC). My probleme if the inverse: i would love thinner fans for the radiator, or better a slimmer radiator. Something like the cooling power of a 240, but longer and thinner in 360 for this kind of case. Probably not gonna happen, but meh i said it somewhere ^^
I bought one and when I had it in person the plastic build of the case was really disappointing. It’s nice that it fits a 360mm AIO in it while maintaining a small footprint on the desk. I ended up returning mine though and going with the Hyte Revolt 3 l. Even though it only supports a 280mm radiator it does have better build quality and materials. Plus the power plug cable isn’t draped down the back of the case. The 2000D is a nice concept but I think they need to reduce the plastic and handle the power plug better. Also the lost opportunity from the concept design of having a top exhaust fan was a disappointment.
"Fairly decent small form factor case" is the perfect way to describe this. It's a great attempt by Corsair, but there are definitely some bad v1 design decisions. 25mm thick fans should fit, and in fact I've been able to fit three NF-A12x25 fans on the front, but that required I remove my motherboard's pre-installed I/O shield. Seems like a silly oversight on Corsair's part.
Honestly, I think this case looks so much better without RGB, something about ITX cases always mesh so god damn well with no RGB, and while I'll probably never get this case, I would probably get rid of the stock RGB fans and that RGB controller and just some nice quiet black fans in there and it would looks just so clean
I'm glad to see your review. I already purchased one of these and am waiting for parts to build mine. Mostly I was concerned about the thermals so thanks again. Cheers
I really wish we had the 4000d airflow but in matx form factor im going to build my first pc for myself and i absolutely love the 4000d but i wish we had a smaller version the case looks amazing
I'd love to make a build in this case but i'm afraid my GPU (powercolor 7900XTX Hellhound) won't fit, it has the exact same length as supposedly allowed at 320mm but it's also a chonky card at 3+ slots
I'm interested in this case but, one question. As the I/O ports are facing down and you connect to them by removing that plastic cover at the bottom of the case, how do you install Wi-Fi aerials?
What if we take the psu frame out, does the wide GPU fits? I so want to mod the bottom and the top of this case, this is the perfect case for my build. Now... Where is my Dremel?
@@GearSeekersEven if you didn't use an ITX board? Seems that without the GPU it could easily be modded for 3.5" drives. Say 8 below the Motherboard area?
..so which 4090 cards do fit in this case? Where I come from 4090 FE is absolutely impossible to buy, so then there all the other brands and none of them list there cards with this unofficial "x slot" standard that RU-vid content makers use. So since that is not a standard they are using then one has to keep to the factual and actual dimensions.. Question still remains, which I rephrase "which _whatever x-slot cards_ do actually fit in this case (based on thickness and obviously can properly attached to the PCIE slot..)?
Its been almost a year since 40 series released. I really dont know why we still can see these big brands release vertical tower which cant even fit those longer 4 slots GPU. This kind of SFF case size, its clearly no one give a f about portability. Why not just redesign the damn case with an inch or two wider to support latest gen GPU?
They really need to fix that back panel and where the GPU sits. It’s really poor airflow. Love the case and almost bought it, but had to go elsewhere ultimately.
Corsair QX fan kits should only come with the 90-degree cable on one end. Their included straight cable is total e-waste!!!! Only to charge you more money!!! The starter kit costs way too much to not give you the 90-degree 600mm cable. Straight cable = E-waste!!!
would you like if a company that sold you a product to then manipulate that product to advertise their stuff on it ? well that is what nzxt did with my kraken .
At least 2 reviews of the same case on YT within 24h, somehow you have also got Corsair (overkill 1000W) power supply and AiO. "The case you have been requesting..." C'mon, don't make it worse.
I bought this case for sale at 89$, and even at that price, it's still not worth. - Poor appearance design - Low effort quality finishes - This might hurt but: very stupid interior space optimize But for the low price THAT I BOUGHT, i will keep it as a reminder not to buy cosair first attemp at anything at all. We deserve more when paying 139$ for an ITX case.
tbh this case looks terrible. Too big and still the volume is not utilized well, even with the size you cant fit big 4090 GPUs, the motherboard IO is pointing down and even with 6 fans the temps are just meh
It's a good case, except that the front fan clearance is dependent on how large the VRM heatsink of your mobo. For example, using ROG B750-i will block 25mm thick fan www.igorslab.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/23-1.jpg. Super frustrating.
