The short version

The 3500X RS-R ARGB is the current version of Corsair's 3500X line (the original 3500X ARGB is listed as discontinued). It has glass front and side panels, three RS-R ARGB fans, 425 mm GPU clearance and 170 mm cooler height, and 360 mm radiators on the top and side. Corsair lists no front fan or radiator mounts, which suits display builds more than maximum airflow.
