Prawn here with a review of the Corsair Frame 4500x, which is perhaps one of Corsair's more interesting cases of late. This PC case features not only that fishbowl aesthetic but uses wraparound glass to show off the internals. It also comes with a choice of RS120 PWM ARGB fans or LX120 iCue Link fans, both of which are reverse blade fans mounted on the side as intake fans.
As usual you have the option to side mount an AIO instead, so I'm showing what difference that makes.
