APH Networks: Corsair 3500X ARGB Review
There are many things in life you might want to have because its presence brings happiness, even if it is temporary. This can range from having ice cream on a hot day to owning a vacation home to being able to drive your dream car. Obviously, these items can vary in importance and necessity, but the fact you can experience it is a very special feeling. However, there are other things in life that you enjoy, because its absence would leave a large hole of despair or sadness. For example, you might not think much about having a garage, but when a large hail storm comes through, you are mighty thankful for the vehicle shelter and not having to worry about dents in your car. Similarly, some people may not love to sleep, but when you do not have enough rest, you will definitely notice a difference in your attitude and emotions. These may also be wants or needs, but we yearn for them because we recognize the loss if we are without it. Recently, we have seen the trend of computer cases removing typical front panels and replacing them with tempered glass. We first observed this with the Thermaltake CTE E600 MX, and soon followed up by the Antec C5 ARGB. In both situations, the case removed its front facing cooling for better appearance, changing the airflow pattern. Today, we have the Corsair 3500X ARGB, which is yet another computer chassis to follow this trend. With a large side view, will it bring us joy with the new appearance? Or will we realize this is missing something that we are lost without? Let us read on to find out!
