Verdict
Corsair 3000D Airflow
7.5 / 10 Expert Rating
A smart downgrade path from the 4000D Airflow when budget or desk space is tight, without losing the mesh-front airflow design.
FormD T1
8 / 10 Expert Rating
A cult favorite for a reason, just go in knowing you're buying a shell, not a complete kit.
