Corsair iCUE 5000X RGB Tempered Glass Mid-Tower ATX PC Smart Case - Black

You don't need a glass case, but it does look nice. More important, this case has plenty of room to make your build easy. I didn't cut my hand once while installing the components (don't laugh it happens with cheaper cases). I appreciate the hidden cable runs. I did install RGB lighting, why not it is a glass case. The airflow is excellent. I like the bottom mounted power supply and the clean design.One note worth pointing out, Amazon first shipped this case to me via UPS. When picked it up from my porch, the box sounded like a maraca. All the glass was shattered into thousands of pieces. I did not remove it from the box, and I immediately requested a replacement. I had to go to the UPS office to ship it back. Amazon send a replacement via USPS without a problem. I guess this proves that a glass case isn't necessary.

The 5000 series of case from Corsair is in my opinion one of the best cases to build a PC in. It's so easy to cable manage and there is multiple ways to install the AIO. The sheet metal on this case feels solid, there is ample room to work in the basement of this case. Both side panels are glass, and there is an internal metal door to cover your wires. My only gripe for this case is the glass side panels have no protection around the edges and can easily shatter if they even touch a tile floor. I keep an area rug under this case now.

Not a corsair fan boy, but I do love and recommend their cases to anyone that ever asks! I've built in multiple Corsair cases, and they're all good! I've built in the most popular Lian Li case and I didn't like it at all compared to Corsair. The pictures are of my personal build. I picked this particular case because of the support for a 360mm AIO top mount and to accommodate that huge unit that is the 3090ti. (Same size as a 4090)Pros1. The case looks nice and is very functional.2. The space inside of the case for fans and AIOs is great.3. Cable routing is just great. So easy.4. The accessories the case comes with are nice.5. The filters are so easy to take off and wipe down/clean.6. Easy to take the side panels off, captive screws.7. Look at the build!Cons1. The front glass panel on THIS particular case is nice, but it does indeed restrict airflow a bit.. Temps are just better without it. I knew that before I bought it.

Beautiful case. Due to Glass this is a heavy case but looks great.

I haven't bought a new case in probably half a decade. My last case was a gargantuan HAF that weighed probably close to 50 lbs with the components inside. This iCUE case was a pleasure to work in and with. Plenty of room to route wires, cables. Despite the glass panels on the front and top, I find cooling to be very good.I have only 3 fans in the front, one in the back, then a 360 AIO on the top and my temps are very good, even while gaming under heavy load. The dust screens are great, the materials are sturdy. The lighting was easy to set up (my AIO is a Corsair as well, so it works with iCUE). My only complaints is the case didn't really come with a lot of extras like some of my previous cases, and it arrived with a small dent on the left top side, but it's completely hidden behind the glass. This might have happened at the factory because the box seemed undamaged, but it's so minor I wasn't going to bother shipping it back. All-in-all, I'm very satisfied.

It was a heavy case to put altogether but I’m happy with the fine simplicity of the design all around. The back casing is fun to open with the screws and the magnetic latches.A lot of room within the case itself, I appreciate the tip filtration meshes for the pc air flow. The cable management was perfect and it helped me align all the other psu cords free from tangling.Love this case can’t stop staring at it

I bought the white version of this case for a new build. It is easy to build in for the basic component install. The motherboard standoffs for ATX were already in place in the proper positions. I installed an Asus mobo, then the CPU, then the memory. I put my Corsair 360mm AIO in the top, and left the 3 fans the case came with in the front.If you are considering this case or the mesh version note that with the glass panels you cannot mount the radiator under the top panel and then the fans on top of the case if you want more room inside and to also be able to see the RBG fans on top. The glass is in the way and would block airflow, a mesh panel would let the air flow through. I had to mount my fans below the radiator inside the case, which is fine, but takes up valuable space. If you use an air cooler this case will allow room for just about any of the bigger ones.The wiring for the case headers and the fans was easy. I notice a lot of people remove the panel that allows you to hide the wires behind it as they snake out of the right side of the motherboard. I left mine on as I didn't want to drill the rivets out, however it is more or less in the way.The power supply being mounted underneath that enclosure is also a pain to get to even with a modular PSU. My hands are big, and it is a pain to plug cables into the back in that cramped space, even with the 3.5" drive bay removed. Possibly allowing easier access to the back of the PSU is my biggest complaint on an otherwise great case.Once built and with the wires cleaned up it is a great looking case. One other minor detail is that the power button is hard to feel. My case is under a desk with about 6" of room above it, however I like my case out of the way of my chair and feet so it's pushed back under completely. That means I turn it on by feel. If the power button would light up even if it was off that would help also. My situation may be unique.I like the positioning of the SSD trays and the HDD trays, and it takes very large GPU's also. I do not plan to mount my GPU vertically, it I can see it being cool.

very easy case to work with,mopre room then you can use
