Corsair iCUE 5000X RGB

Overview

The Corsair iCUE RGB 5000x is a hulking glass beast of a case that almost has it all with good airflow, a breezy amount of space for efficient building, RGB fans, and an incredibly sleek look. However, the $200 price is rough when considering less expensive alternatives.

The Corsair iCue 5000X RGB is a glamorous-looking chassis, but for the price, it throws up too many roadblocks to an easy build. Other Corsair cases, such as the 4000D Airflow, make a smoother go of it.
