This review of the Corsair 7000D Airflow & Corsair 7000X looks at thermals, noise, and build quality. These cases are built for larger computers, so water cooling is highly compatible with the chassis, as are large motherboards ("E-ATX," although there are issues with EATX in this case). The Corsair 7000D Airflow follows-up the Corsair 5000D & 4000D, so we compare the three cases in this review. We'll also look at the 7000D vs. the Fractal Meshify 2 XL, Phanteks Enthoo Pro 2, and Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL. Large tower cases are a smaller market and highly competitive, so the 7000D has a hard fight ahead of it.
