Corsair 3500X ARGB
A budget dual-glass showcase case that includes three ARGB fans out of the box, the 3500X supports ATX down to ITX with generous 425mm GPU clearance and flexible 240/280/360mm radiator mounting top and side. It's aimed at builders wanting an affordable RGB display build. Note its limits: there's no front-radiator mount, and airflow purists will prefer a mesh-first design over the glass front.

Compatibility
Built around ATX. Make sure the rest of your build uses the same platform before you buy — mismatched sockets, mounts or standards are the most common return reason. Check it in the builder →
