Case review: Corsair 400C
For a mid tower case, you really can't ask for much more than a Corsair 400C. There is ample room for multiple radiator configurations. Every fan or radiator mount slides, like they should. The threads of the thumb screws do not feel cheap, and easily find home when using them on the case.
Hard drive configurations, even though sata ssd's are becoming a thing of the past, you can choose to mount three to the back of the pc and even two HDD's underneath the cover, although I took the HDD rack out and put a pump there. Cable management gives you the choice and freedom to do almost anything you want.
You can choose up to 3 120 or 2 140mm front fans, or up to a 3 fan 360mm radiator or a dual 480mm radiator. All of the fan and radiator mounts slide for positioning how you want or need. I chose to mount a single 120mm radiator at the rear and one 120mm radiator in the front with a 140mm intake fan below and a 120mm exhaust fan on the top to help exhaust the front radiators heat. Then proceeded to plumb the gpu, cpu, reservoir, and pump in this order, pump being at the lowest center of gravity; pump-gpu-radiator-cpu-radiator-reservoir.
RF shield slid right into into place. As long as you put together the case in the right order, you will not run into any problems. I have no complaints about this case. It is the second one I have bought. Brand new case, first thing I did was start drilling holes for plumbing, but no holes needed for mounting anything.
