The sub-$100 case market is starting to populate with quality airflow-oriented cases (after years of us pushing), and the Corsair 4000D Airflow is another to join those ranks. It'll be competing most directly with the Lian Li Lancool 215, Cooler Master TD500, Phanteks P400A, be quiet! Pure Base 500DX, and similar airflow cases. The new Corsair 4000D non-Airflow is also in for review, but unsurprisingly, it's not much of a performer. The 4000X is in for review at another time, assuming there's interest, but we're starting with both the 4000D and 4000D Airflow in this one. Some of the best cases for gaming PC builds right now are in this price class, so it's a good time for the case market.
