Corsair Cases at Computex 2024: The Goliath 9000D and Nimble 3500X

[btarunr]

Corsair has a short and crisp presentation at the 2024 Computex (thank you for not bringing your entire catalog to the show floor), and we begin our tour with cases. The 9000D is the spiritual successor to the 1000D—a no-holes-barred full tower with enough room for multiple independent DIY liquid cooling loops, so you could liquid-cool your CPU, graphics cards, and other hot gear separately from each other. Actually, you can have two separate PCs in here, with the second one being a Mini-ITX, so you could run your streaming and OBS server off it without affecting your main rig's game latency in any possible way. There are at least four large radiator mounts that take 480 mm or 420 mm radiators, each. You can see from the example build how you have the room for multiple reservoirs, radiators, and independent loops.

Next up, is the 3500X, a smart looking mid-tower with a contemporary pillarless front-left corner that gives you a panoramic view of your hardware. It comes with side-facing vents that are recessed into the motherboard tray, so they don't come in the way of large graphics cards like the ASUS Strix RTX 40-series shown here. The case also has strategically-located cutouts in the motherboard tray to support backside-connectivity formats such as the ASUS BTF, MSI Project Zero, and the GIGABYTE AORUS Stealth. There is plenty of crawlspace behind the motherboard tray, so you can wrestle with your 24-pin and 12VHPWR cables. Both cases implement Corsair's InfiniRail system that allows you to move your fans around a bit to optimize airflow, and Corsair's iCUE Link lighting and fan control hub. The 3500X is available now, the 9000D will come in later this year.

Meh... also given the terrible build quality of recent cases will wait for the reviews.

The 9000d has promise but it looks suspiciously familiar.

I really miss Corsair's old cases, these are just horrible.
And no, most of their old cases weren't great either.

The 9000D case is an upgrade from the 1000D. The 1000d case was just amazing and I'm looking forward to the 9000D later this year. The aquarium style of cases seems to have been embraced by all major PC case OEMs. Consumers are buying them. I'm afraid I have to disagree with your comment regarding old Corsair cases. Those cases were fantastic.

This case looks a combo of the 7000D/1000D and that huge case from Cooler Master. I guess 240/280 support is worth a couple hundred in a case.

Each to their own of course, I've just never been a huge fan of most of their cases.

Can we please go back to computer cases that look like computers, and not steampunk coffee machines?

Thanks, can't unsee.

It's nice that it can fit a 420mm/480mm radiator, but price is probably pretty outrageous given Corsair's past pricing. The D5000 was pricing was pretty wretched and their included case fans have about as much airflow as a pinwheel under a light breeze they only go up to about 1200 to 1250RPM the 12 for a nickel Arctic P12's are better quality fans.
