Test System

Assembly

Installing the motherboard is done with screws and spacers. Corsair includes a pin to align it all in the center, which makes things a little easier as well. There is also plenty of space for cable-routing around the three edges of the motherboard.


Adding an SSD to the 4000D Airflow is done by simply taking the frame off the case and screwing the drive down. Once filled, just pop it back into one of four possible locations.


You do not actually need any tools for a 3.5" drive as you can snap it into place before sliding it back into the cage underneath the shroud until the two latches on either side of the tray snap down to secure the drive.


To add your PSU, slide it underneath the metal shroud and screw it down through the rear of the chassis, which is pretty straightforward as well. There is plenty of space, so you should have no issues with a potent unit to power all your gaming gear.


With everything installed, the Corsair 4000D Airflow makes a good, clean impression, but things could have been a little tidier on the bottom with smaller openings. However, the backside is nice and tidy because of the Velcro ties and cable channel, along with plenty of options to use zip ties.

Finished Looks

With the system turned on, there is really not much to see besides the subtle glow of the RGB components that manage to shine through the fairly heavy tint in the glass window. A clean, white power LED also lights up right underneath the button to let you know that the system is up and running. Naturally, if you opt for the RGB variant of the chassis, you will have slightly more to play around with visually.
