Corsair has introduced a new configuration tool for its latest Frame 4000D enclosure that lets potential buyers change out virtually every single component on this highly customizable case, from the side panel down to the front I/O. Pricing starts at $104.99 for the basic black or white versions, but the configurator doesn't limit your imagination and will let you buy literally every available accessory. Going all out like that will jack the price well over $1000, but more sensible configurations might land anywhere between $250 to $500.

For the PSU shroud, Corsair offers black and white versions of a compact shroud cover that replaces the case's stock full-length shroud for $14.99 each. For front I/O, Corsair offers an alternative I/O bracket with three USB Type-C ports for $24.99. The default bracket on the Frame 4000D comes with two USB Type-A ports plus one Type-C port.

For the side panel, Corsair has 10 different options that can replace or add on to the Frame 4000D's default glass-and-mesh side panel. Options include a full tempered glass side panel (that removes the mesh panel) for $19.99, a new cold air intake side panel add-on for $39.99, and an LCD mounting kit add-on for $39.99. The cold air intake add-on provides three 120mm fan mounts to add additional cooling capacity.

For accessories, Corsair provides five options: two Xeneon Edge 14.5" LCD touchscreen options in black or white for $249.99, a pack of RS120 ARGB PWM fans for $59.99 in black and white, and an extra box of fan screws for $14.99.

For now, the Frame 4000D is the only Corsair case that supports its new customizer, but if it is successful, Corsair will likely branch out and make more cases compatible with this tool. For more details about the case itself, check out our review.

    I just picked up a Corsair 4000D this past Monday. This thing is HUGE. I'm used to smaller cases. I would have picked up a Lian Li 207 instead, but the 4000D was available at a Best Buy close to where I live (Micro Center is awesome, but involves a longer drive and toll roads).

    I wish the power button and front panel connectors for the 4000D were on the top instead of the bottom. Otherwise, the case seems to have support for everything except 3.5 and 5.25 bays -- not things I care about for my personal desktop. The configurator is neat, but better prices are found in stores with pre-built versions. Corsair should think about coming out with a smaller version of the case and adding a 120 stop for the fan rails (no plastic adapters!).

    I am looking for a possible replacement of my Corsair C70 case. The power button is starting to feel like it takes harder to power on. The reset button does not work anymore

    Sound like the 5000X would have been a better fit for you. Love mine, especially with 11 fans and room for more lol. The 4000 is a bit smaller and has fewer features but it's 1/3 the cost.
