    I am happy that your channel is haven’t a great success! One of the key is that you go straight to the point and save us a lot of times, thank you.

    Great Video...great case design from Corsair. Love the fact you can change with wooden panel look
  • @robert3892
    An excellent review that seems to have covered all of the information the consumer needs to know. If you decide to buy a project zero or BTF motherboard you'll have even less cable clutter in the front of the case. Using Corsair iCue Link you can reduce cable clutter further. If you live in Europe the Corsair EU website is out of stock at the moment but some retailers should have stock. There might be more stock on the Corsair EU website next week.

    Very nice review! I'm not a big fan of the fishbowl design in general, though this probably wouldn't be my case of choice, but it does look well done. I do appreciate that Corsair seems to be shifting to a default of not including any fans, I almost never end up using the ones that come with any case I buy. I'll be curious to see Corsair's next iteration of the more traditional tower cases like the 4000/5000/7000 models.
  • Thank you so much for posting this excellent review. The case construction does look solid to me, and I agree with you on the other points you made. You present so well. It is almost like you are also a professor at a local university. The videography is uniformly excellent and done to a high standard. I was worried that I missed an episode from you and I checked every few days -- and yes, I do subscribe to your channel. Your eyeglasses seem to be new, perhaps? I greatly enjoyed this episode. Perhaps you can consider doing a future episode on how to repair a complete system which has been physically damaged. Here is a possible scenario: a person moves a system (meaning a functioning motherboard, power supply, GPU, etc which are properly installed in a case) to another room, but in the process, accidentally drops the case. How does one triage the damage and then repair the case and its contents? I'm speaking hypothetically. I have not yet had such a misfortune. I did recently drop a very heavy uninterruptible power supply a few inches onto a desk, and it cost me part of a fingernail.

    This build looks really nice .
  • @MadMaxx1977
    Perfect timing! I'm looking for a smaller ATX case to use in my new build (14700/4080) and this Corsair 2500X is exactly what I had in mind. Thanks for another excellent video1
  • @DoubleVGames
    Thanks for the review! This would be really good for living room pc
  • @RYzE_B3Y0ND
    I loved the Air 540. My buddy bought one too and says he plans to keep it when he upgrades his PC this year. Corsair is really doing good stuff these days.
  • @654321yhtaeD
    it gives me 011 dynamic mini vibes and ii like it!
  • Is that for a desktop that looks like one a high performance one? Good lighting.
  • @raycasta10
    Wanted a updated version of the 280x but this is cool too
  • @nalda4334
    This is how to do it right. Not those lian li o11 mini that can fix atx, too big as a case, or their previous 280x that is too small and choking the airflow
  • Hmm not sure if I like these kind of cases from the design itself. I'd think I like the direction from fractal a bit more.
