We’ve come a long way from the days of ugly beige towers that would demand a sacrifice of blood (usually from sharp corners) in exchange for housing your PC parts. Today’s cases are much better looking, and also far more flexible, in terms of what parts they can accommodate. Case in point (literally) is Corsair’s new 3500X, which is a mid-tower chassis with wraparound glass and robust form factor support.
Regardless of form factor, the 3500X puts your parts on display with removable tempered glass panels on the front and side. According to Corsair, the wraparound glass aesthetic doesn’t come at the expense of cooling due to “strategically placed fan mounting points on the side, roof, and bottom of the case to provide ample airflow.” In addition, the case can fit liquid cooling radiators up to 360mm in the roof or side.
Other notable specs include seven expansion slots (or four if going with a vertical orientation), two 3.5-inch drive bays, two 2.5-inch drive bays, and a front I/O consisting of a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, and a 3.5mm audio in/out jack.
