Introduction
I would like to thank
Corsair for supplying the review sample.
The Corsair 2500D is part of the rejuvenated line of dual-chamber enclosures that had been long absent from Corsair's product line-up. While their 6500 series provides room for full-size ATX boards, the lower numbered 2500D variant is geared towards mATX builds. Available in two variants, with fans or bare, simply called Airflow, the hefty chassis aims to provide ample cooling potential while taking up less space on your desktop. We received the black version of the 2500D Airflow for review, but Corsair also offers a white option or even three black variants with aluminium or wood accent panels instead of steel.

Packaging
The case ships in the same type of box we have seen from other Corsair cases in recent times. The front simply sports the company logo and the case model name, while the rear holds Corsair's signature triangular print pattern which spills over to one side. Here there is a sticker to let you know exactly which of the case variants is within the package. On the opposite side, there is just a blank canvas - no spec table or larger depiction of the enclosure. It is interesting to see a case of this size rightfully marked as heavy.
The Corsair 2500D Airflow is held in place with thick, solid foam spacers. A plastic bag has been used to protect the chassis from scratches and fingerprints during the packing process.
