The next weeks go by, and the situation on the computer components market does not look any better. The availability of graphics cards and their prices are absurd, and other components are also damaged – processors, motherboards and finally cases. The latter, like the GPU, on the market are definitely less than usual, and those that have been left in stores often have prices higher than before. Fortunately, the largest manufacturers are trying to save the situation by issuing new constructions. One of them is Corsair, which has just presented a family of cases 5000. Today on the pages of PurePC we will test the basic, but still highly developed model simply called Corsair 5000 D.

Anyone who considers himself an enthusiast of new technologies should know the name “Corsair” very well. It is an American computer hardware company that has been on the market for 1994. Their offer includes a wealth of various products, often focused on gaming. We are talking about keyboards, mice, headsets, power supplies, fans, liquid cooling systems (AiO and LC), efficient SSDs and RAM modules, gaming chairs, small, ready-made computer sets and finally cases. All available in various options, to satisfy both the demanding consumer and the ordinary layman, or to reach both people with thinner and thicker wallets.

Corsair 5000 D is a new Mid Tower enclosure with an ascetic appearance, but inside it hides a lot of interesting and convenient solutions aimed at slightly more demanding consumers.
