Nice, hope you enjoy it!
It took me weeks before choosing the case. I started with the NZXT H510/H710 but after reading some opinions and watching some videos, saw that the Meshify C was a pretty good case with great airflow.
Problem is, it was a lil bit too small for comfort and couldn't really fit the radiator I wanted.
So in the end I chose the Phanteks P500A, now I just need the components...

Oh that's quite nice.. I have the Corsair 680X RGB which is a nice ATX case with the dual chambers, but a bit cramped with 2 x 280mm radiators and the res all in the main area. That 5000X is perfect for 2 x 360mm radiators, and some really nice cable management assistance in the back. Very tempting... Good 5000X water build video:

Hope you post it up on ModsRigs! After checking out that case and a number of very positive reviews, I've ordered one too (plus a couple of 360mm radiators). I'll swap out those fans and add a Commander Pro in there. Very nice case. Thanks for posting about it!

My niece wants a 4000x build for her graduation present but looking at the 5000x, I might give her an upgrade 😁

These new Corsair cases are looking really nice. I'm not a Corsair fanboy or anything, but I like the direction they are trending with these designs.

Well I'm not very happy. The 5000X case was delivered on Friday and I finally got some time today to open it up and I find the main side panel is completely shattered! It still has all the plastic protective sheet over it etc. so it's in one piece sort of, but completely shattered like a car windscreen! I thought tempered glass was supposed to be really strong? The shipping box didn't show any damage so it looks like it was packaged that way. Grrr... Amazon are sending a replacement and will have UPS pick up the existing one free of charge which helps, but annoying as I won't have another opportunity to build until next weekend at the soonest. I was going to mount the motherboard today and check the 20" riser cable was long enough, and maybe replace the existing fans and install a Commander Pro in there while I'm waiting on 2 x 360mm radiators to arrive, but it's back in the box now waiting for pickup. Sigh. p.s. it did not arrive well packaged like yours RJohnson11, it was just the Corsair box, no additional protection, and on another inspection, there is what looks like a ding on one side of the container.

i like my NZXT non glass sided cases. the whole glass thing doesnt make sense for me. do you really need to see your fans spinning.

I'm running a full CPU / GPU water loop, so yes, I really do want to keep my eye on it.

How often do you changes cases? I've had my HAF 932 Advanced since 2014.

This mod is located in the mods rigs section. I would say it's been a year and a half or so since the last PC case change.

While the new corsair cases look great, I'm still a sucker for those nzxt cases. Even with the less-than-optimal airflow...

I've always had great support from Corsair. All of the cases I have used from them over the years have been superior.

Yeah I get that, it's just the look of the cases from nzxt that appeal to me. That clean industrial look really speaks to me. That said, would easily recommend corsair cases to anyone!
