New Case

Hi folks,

I've got the following PC on order (now on 81 days šŸ˜¬) & had an email yesterday to say the Fractal define 7 case is out of stock. Changed it to the CORSAIR 5000D AIRFLOW TEMPERED GLASS GAMING CASE instead with 2 extra fans. Any issues with this case & my spec or any other better recommendations?

In case anyone else is in same boat, PCS did say when your machine eventually goes into building it's worth asking them if they have any Fractal in stock.

Cheers,
Rich

The Corsair 5000D is a better case to be honest, free upgrade mate. It has two extra bays for 2.5" drives and it's bigger with more room inside

@Steveyg - I've got the same case on my order (Fractal 7) and have run into the same problem as Rich1241. Is the Corsair 5000D particularly noisy in comparison to the Fractal case as quietness was one of my criteria?

According to tests the 500D is 3Db louder than the Fractal 7 which is basically nothing

This is true for sound intensity but not for volume, the perception of sound only increases every 10 dB which is probably the most important factor.
