Trade shows like Computex always bring out their fair share of oddities, and
this year was no exception, with one of the highlights being a Corsair PC
case with no fewer than 24 fans.

As one of a handful of companies offering really big desktop PC cases,
Corsair was demonstrating its new creature: the 9000D Airflow. At 90 liters
in volume - which is twice the size of regular PCs and 1.5x the volume of a
typical car gas tank - the colossal case is bigger than ever. It's so big, in
fact, that it can house two systems: a full-size ATX (or smaller) system, as
well as a separate Mini-ITX system.

The most eye-catching aspect of this PC case (besides its large size, of
course) is that it can house as many as 22 fans in addition to two liquid
cooling systems. As the name of the 9000D Airflow implies, all of those fans
are meant to create as much airflow as possible. And yet, because there are
so many fans inside, they do not have to run at a high RPM to move the
requisite amount of air, so the 9000D Airflow is quieter than its size
otherwise lets on.

To simplify installation of all these fans, the chassis consists of
adjustable mounting points on a sliding rail, making the case versatile for
any build requirements. The 9000D includes two InfiniRail systems, one at the
top (holding six fans) and one at the front, each capable of holding up to
eight 120mm fans. Adding fans on the sides and rear increases the total to
24. For those using 140mm or 200mm fans, the InfiniRails can be adjusted by
unscrewing and repositioning them based on marked guidelines, allowing for a
customized setup despite fitting fewer larger fans. The flexibility of the
InfiniRail system enables unique fan placement, enabling the freedom to
tailor the cooling configuration to specific needs.

The case design also includes 30mm of clearance behind the motherboard for
efficient cable management, making it well-suited for creating clean,
organized, and powerful builds.

Besides its may fans, the 9000D Airflow also offers 11 drive bays, plenty of
front I/O ports (four USB Type-A, two USB Type-C, audio connectors) with RGB
lighting controlled through the iCue Link system. The spacious design allows
for comprehensive component compatibility and expansion.

Corsair's Airflow 9000D will be available later this year.
