This case made my first PC build super easy and it's on sale for Cyber Monday

Before Cyber Monday deals disappear for another year, let me tell you about one of the coolest bits of hardware I tested in 2023. During the Summer, I took on the task of building my very first gaming PC from scratch. Now, for a Hardware Editor, that felt like a right of passage, but it didn't make the idea any less daunting. What made things even scarier was the fact that I decided to do things the hard way, and build a small form factor gaming PC. 

While tiny wee PCs have been gaining popularity since the PS5 and Xbox Series X showcased what sort of power can fit inside a smaller chassis, case designers have certainly had their hands full. The problem is often that cooling is always more difficult in these smaller computers. It's difficult to keep air flowing through a tiny space when all these hot components are in each other's personal space. 

Corsair, however, had other ideas when it launched its 2000D Airflow Mini-ITX case earlier this year. It's currently on offer thanks to Cyber Monday gaming PC deals, available for just $94.99 at Newegg, and discounted down from $139.99. While this is a great deal to begin with, it looks as though Corsair is offering an additional $15 rebate with this product, meaning, if you fill in the attached form on the retail page, you could get a final price of $89.99, and a full saving of $50.

This is, at least to my knowledge, the first-ever ITX (small form factor) PC case that can fit a full-size AIO cooler inside it. Thanks to a really clever inverted design, it can also fit a giant graphics card in it – yes, even the RTX 4090. All the while, three frontal in-take fans help cool air flow across your components and make sure your machine doesn't spontaneously combust.

Building an ITX gaming PC is no easy task, and I was shocked at how the Corsair 2000D Airflow continued to make it an easy process. Besides cable management, which is always going to be a struggle in smaller cases, this allowed my hands and arms plenty of room to reach in and operate on components – and that's a rare thing in this realm of PC building.

Not only do you need a smaller motherboard with this type of PC
