Review: Corsair's iCUE 5000X RGB goes all-in with glass for a premier build

Corsair's iCUE 5000X RGB case is a premier selection for PC build enthusiasts who love the look of glass.



Corsair's lineup of PC cases, including the incredibly popular iCUE 4000X RGB, has a new addition. The Corsair iCUE 5000X RGB is slightly larger than its 4000X sibling, with more space inside for better cooling solutions and airflow, as well as four tempered-glass panels for an exceptional outward appearance. I put together a PC using the 5000X to get a good idea of its feature set, whether or not it promotes an easy build, and, ultimately, whether it's worth the relatively premium price.

So Much Glass

Bottom line: The Corsair iCUE 5000X RGB might not have perfect cable management depending on how much hardware you pack inside, but for most people, it should make for an easy, intuitive build. It's a gorgeous case inside and outside, and it should be considered for your next mid-tower build as long as budget allows.
