WRAPAROUND GLASS. REVERSE-ROTOR RGB AIRFLOW.
Corsair 3500X RS-R ARGB Mid-Tower PC Case — Black
The black Corsair 3500X RS-R ARGB combines a panoramic wraparound-glass presentation with flexible cooling support and a spacious builder-friendly interior. Removable front and left tempered-glass panels provide a clear view of the system while simplifying access during assembly, maintenance, and future upgrades.
Three Corsair RS120-R ARGB reverse-rotor fans are pre-installed on the side as illuminated intake fans. Their reversed airflow direction keeps the RGB side visible through the glass while drawing fresh air into the chassis. The case supports up to ten 120mm fans, 360mm radiators on the roof and side, and modern reverse-connector motherboards for cleaner cable routing.

Panoramic Showcase Design
Wraparound Glass with Easy Component Access
The removable tempered-glass front and left panels create a wide view of the internal components while allowing convenient access during installation and maintenance.
Front and Side Tempered Glass
The wraparound viewing area highlights the motherboard, graphics card, cooling hardware, and RGB lighting from multiple angles.
Removable Glass Panels
Both showcase panels can be removed to improve access when installing components, routing cables, or cleaning the system.
Dedicated Side Intake
The main fresh-air intake is positioned beside the motherboard rather than behind the front glass.
Black Showcase Finish
The black steel frame creates a deep, understated backdrop that emphasizes illuminated components, RGB effects, and premium cooling hardware.
Reverse-Rotor ARGB Cooling
Visible Lighting with Intake Airflow
The included RS120-R ARGB fans reverse the blade orientation so their illuminated side remains visible inside the case while they operate as side intake fans.
Three RS120-R ARGB Fans
The included 120mm fans provide vivid lighting and immediate side intake airflow without requiring a separate starter fan kit.
Reverse-Rotor Design
The reversed airflow direction keeps the clean illuminated fan face visible through the tempered-glass panels.
Magnetic Dome Bearings
Corsair Magnetic Dome bearings are designed for reliable operation and reduced mechanical friction.
Daisy-Chain Connections
The fan connections can be linked together to simplify PWM and ARGB cable routing to compatible motherboard headers.

Installation Planning
Confirm Cooling and Component Clearances
Maximum hardware clearance can be affected by radiator thickness, fan placement, vertical GPU installation, motherboard size, power cable routing, and storage configuration.
Check Side Radiator Depth
A thick side radiator and fan assembly may reduce usable space around a large graphics card and its power cable.
Check Top Radiator Clearance
Confirm radiator and fan thickness against motherboard heatsinks, memory modules, and CPU power connectors.
Vertical GPU Requires a Riser
A compatible PCI Express riser cable is required for vertical graphics card mounting and is sold separately.
Plan for an 180mm PSU
The listed maximum ATX power supply length is 180mm. Reserve additional space for modular connectors and cable bends.
