Also includes three aRGB PWM fans (two 140mm on the front, one 120mm on the rear) with a built in aRGB and PWM hub - nice touch. Very nice looking case (in my opinion) - very similar to the NZXT H500-series cases, but with a mesh front panel for good airflow.Not the greatest way to access a dust filter - my old Fractal case had a swing-open door for easy access to the filter. Downsides being the front panel is plastic and feels somewhat brittle when trying to remove it (has to come off completely) to access the dust filter behind it.Because of the rear fan mount, I was able to fit 2 of the 140mm fans on the front, and one of the fans directly behind the CPU cooler (with one of those fans jammed in between the heatsink towers).The goal for this case was to be able to fit massive 140x38mm fans to experiment with airflow and temps.Ability to fit 140mm fans in all positions, including the rear fan position, with a ton of clearance for CPU coolers (plenty of space with a Noctua NH-D15S) while still being a relatively compact case.Mesh front panel with built-in aRGB strips and removable dust filters are all nice features and touches, with a good amount of space for cable management.Component limitations and placement issues (my AIO has to go on the bottom - no other space).There's no room for cable management you do your best to keep everything hidden behind components and out of the way.With an mITX motherboard, I was able to fit a Strix 3090, 280mm AIO, 7 fans (140mm on the radiators, two 120mm up top, 92mm rear, two 40mm cooling back of GPU), all viewable form the side window panel.Very customizable - Sliger sells different colored panels and all sorts of options - carrying handles, drive holders, different configurations for ATX or SFX PSU's.Incredibly solidly build - all steel and aluminum construction.Very compact (23L volume - for reference, the Torrent is 70L in volume) while still having the ability to fit an ATX motherboard and full size GPU.I'll list the cases I currently have - they all have pluses and minuses and I purchased them all for different reasons. The Fractal Torrent may be a great airflow case out of the box, but it's also incredibly large - as much as I appreciate the case for its purpose, I would never purchase it. "Best" is hard to define as people choose cases for different reasons. This question is going to differ for every person. In the 4000D I had 3 front intake, 2 top exhaust (AIO radiator) and 1 rear exhaust too.ĭefinitely plan on purchasing some extra fans with either of these cases, the two they come with are perfectly usable though. My 5000D build has 3 front intake fans, 3 exhaust fans on the top mounted radiator and another exhaust fan on the rear for a total of 7. It's probably the better 'value for money' of the two since I can't think of another case I'd recommend over it in the $80 range.ĭust accumulation hasn't been an issue for me, but I did add extra fans in both. The other build was using a 240mm AIO/radiator and the smaller 4000D Airflow was absolutely perfect for that. I justified paying extra for the 5000D airflow because I wanted to mount a Corsair H150i Capellix 360m in the roof of the case and it worked perfectly for that. It really depends on your AIO cooling solution needs (radiator size) but I'd definitely recommend both without hesitation.
