Conclusion
Priced at £80, the mid-tower frame focuses on the essentials and gets most things right.Corsair's 4000D Airflow is a good example of how a simple chassis can pave the way toward a sleek, powerful and modern build.
Priced at £80, the mid-tower frame focuses on the essentials and gets most things right. The half-a-dozen fan mounts are all easily accessible, geared for airflow and well filtered, the PSU bay is well hidden with a full-length shroud, USB Type-C features as standard, and four storage bays is about right for a chassis of these proportions.
You do lose out on certain niceties - the bundled fans are basic three-pin affairs and there's little in the way of sound dampening - but cable management is good, there's provision for a vertical graphics card mount, and without any additional RGB and the extra cabling that tends to entail, the 4000D is satisfyingly easy to work with.
Bottom line: for a relatively basic enclosure, we've come away pleasantly surprised with Corsair's 4000D. It has the ability to look and feel more expensive than it is, and at £80 it's a fine foundation for a sleek 2020 build.
