Peter P
The Corsair 4000D is a mid-tower PC case known for its clean, minimalist design and superior cable management system. It is available in several versions, including the popular 4000D Airflow, which features a mesh front panel for enhanced cooling performance compared to the standard 4000D.
Key features

Models
