The Corsair 5000D has two variants: The 5000D Airflow and 5000D solid panel, and we're benchmarking and reviewing both in this one content piece. This also talks about the differences between the Corsair 4000D and 5000D because, although the names make them look sequential, they're actually intended to both simultaneously exist and target different audiences. The latest of 4000D & 5000D PC cases from Corsair is a reprisal of the old Obsidian line, and Corsair appears to be back on track to improve its overall product quality in the case market. It's been a while since they've had good ones back-to-back, so that's good to see. Recent competitors would include the be quiet! Silent Base 802, the Fractal Meshify 2 & XL, Lian Li Lancool II Mesh, Phanteks P500, and similar.
