It is possible to simultaneously install a trio of 360mm radiators, or two of Corsair's biggest all-in-one, the aforementioned iCue H170i. If you are liquid cooling - which you really should be on a case of this ilk - there are plenty of ways to go about it. The hinged rear side panel is outfitted with a patterned vent to maximise airflow, and comes pre-lined with a magnetic dust filter. Speaking of which, you'll find room for a 120/140 at the rear (one 140mm included), three 120/140s up top, four 120s or three 140s in front (two 140mm included) and a further four 120s on a dedicated panel alongside the motherboard tray, giving users the ability to side-mount up to a 480mm radiator.
The cable cover to the right of the motherboard tray is easily removed, as are the two three-bay drive cages at the end of the PSU shroud, and in keeping with the 5000D, Corsair includes an L-shaped accessory as part of the bundle that allows said shroud to be cut short in order to fully expose every available fan mount. A regular ATX board appears insignificant inside the belly of this beast, and we're of the opinion the 7000D works best when stripped-down to reveal every nook and cranny. On the inside, the enclosure feels nothing short of cavernous. A healthy selection, though do be sure your motherboard has all the required USB front panel connectors one for the Type-C, and two for the Type-A. That includes the I/O panel, which has been upgraded to include a USB 3.1 Type-C, four USB 3.0 ports, and a combination audio jack between the customary power and reset buttons. In use, the 7000D mirrors a lot of the design and functionality of the smaller 5000D, albeit with more of just about everything. The removable Perspex window on the side of the PSU shroud is lightweight and has a tendency to rattle about, and on an all-black case as bold as this, we're saddened to see the paint on our review sample beginning to flake across the top inner edge. Plastic elements such as the front bezel have extended to such lengths that they naturally exhibit a bit of flex, and there are other elements that feel economical. Despite being blown-up to these proportions, the 7000D remains an attractive piece of kit.Ĭorsair's large doors swing open to provide easy access and convey a high-quality feel, as do the metal top and front covers, however you will notice less rigidity in other areas. The 4000D, 5000D and 7000D are all instantly recognisable, and each comes across as clean and modern, with sleek lines, elegant mesh panelling and good symmetry throughout. It's a giant alright, yet Corsair does well to maintain a familiar design language across the range. If you crave extra room to build with, the 7000D touts almost a 25 per cent increase in overall volume.
We don't see many full-tower solutions these days, and the huge 600mm (H) x 248mm (W) x 550mm (L) form factor represents a significant step-up in size from Corsair's existing mid-tower sibling, the 5000D. Our £240 7000D Airflow review unit is really quite striking, with a full-height glass side panel providing a monolithic look that demands attention in any room.
