![]() Mikewinddale said:(3) With cases that have side panel fans, what happens if you forget to disconnect the fans before removing the side panel? I imagine your motherboard will get a hard tug, and perhaps some bent pins. Those 2 bottom intake fans are probably not essential, since I also have 2 front intake fans, but I like having them anyway. So in my Phanteks Enthoo Pro 2 case, I set up the case fans so that I've got 2 exhaust fans directly above the CPU, and 2 intake fans at the bottom of the case, blowing upwards towards those 2 exhaust fans. In my current build, with a Supermicro M12SWA-TF motherboard and a NH-U14S TR4-SP3 cooler, the heatsink is oriented so that the CPU fans blow vertically. I would have liked to see bottom fan slots. Are there such a thing as a safety quick disconnect fan cable extender? I.e., a fan cable extender that is designed to be the weakest point, so that if you tug it, the cable extender will disconnect, without putting tension on the fan or the motherboard? If such a cable exists, then removing the side panel without first disconnecting the fan might break the cable extender, but that's better than breaking your fan or breaking your motherboard.

(2) Are there any E-ATX compatible cases that have cable-routing channels that are not blocked by an E-ATX motherboard?

It’s also not exactly cheap at $260, but if you look at what you’re getting for it, the 7000D Airflow is well worth it for a proper high-end build. Really, the 7000D is all the case you’ll ever need – and it better be, because there’s a lot of it. It’s easy to maintain, has excellent build quality, and will deal with system rebuilds quite well. This is a chassis that will grow with you through years to come. Other than the size and weight, it’s an incredibly well-thought-out chassis, offering tons of flexibility and very neatly laying out the red carpet for your hardware. So, just don’t.īut having gone through my time with the 7000D, I’m hard-pressed to have any major complaints about its design. Being as tall as it is, towering at nearly two feet, you’d have to get up to plug things into it if you choose to keep it on your desk. Yes, I know it has a glass panel, but its tint is so dark, you won’t see much through it anyway, and it’s got IO at the top. In that sense, the 7000D is an excellent basis for a big mean business/workstation machine.Īnd it’s certainly a chassis you’ll want to place on the floor. Personally, I’d lean towards this chassis over the RGB-stuffed 7000X, because any system that demands a chassis this big is likely of professional caliber, demanding the improved thermals of a mesh intake and professional appearance over RGB. If you’re building a high-end system – a very high-end system – then the Corsair Obsidian 7000D is certainly a chassis to consider. (Image credit: Niels Broekhuijsen, Tom's Hardware)
