Launch coverage put them at $139.99 each and reported 1,337 units per colorway, but those are launch-era figures—not confirmation of today’s price or stock.
What are the FRAME 4000D Vault cases?
Nova and Galaxy are two finishes of the same CORSAIR FRAME 4000D Vault Series case. CORSAIR describes the paint as changing tone as light moves across the surface. The effect is visual, not software-controlled RGB, and the colors a buyer sees will depend on the room’s lighting and viewing angle. CORSAIR also identifies individually numbered aluminum badges on the limited editions.
How do Nova and Galaxy look different?
| Finish | Reported color range |
|---|---|
| Nova | Blue, teal and purple |
| Galaxy | Pink, green and gray |
These ranges come from launch coverage; they are not a guarantee that every tone will be equally visible in every setting. Choose between them by the shifting palette you prefer and by which finish you can actually find in stock.
What changes does the Vault Series make to the case?
Launch coverage describes both Vault versions as based on the FRAME 4000D platform, with several design and I/O changes:
#1 Best Overall
- FRAME Modular Case System - The revolutionary FRAME system gives new meaning to the word customization. Want to upgrade the motherboard tray to billet aluminum? Want to swap out your front I/O panel for more USB ports? Now you can. A case that can change and grow with your needs (or just your mood). The options are nearly limitless
- 3x CORSAIR RS ARGB PWM Fans - High-performance fans pre-installed in the front of case. Support daisy-chainable 4-pin PWM connections and Zero RPM mode for near-silent operation at low loads. Each Fan has eight LEDs and easily controllable with your motherboard’s +5V ARGB connector

- Clean Lines or Turbo Cooled - The internal side panel near the motherboard tray can be used as a cable cover for clean cable management, or you can remove it and mount fans to the side for increased cooling potential
- 3D Y-Pattern Airflow Panel - Optimized for high airflow and minimal restriction, the steel front panel is perforated in three dimensions with a Y-pattern that provides a low-obstruction path for cool air
- A full tempered-glass side panel.
- A shortened PSU shroud that frees room for a 120 mm fan on the case floor.
- Upgraded front-panel I/O.
One launch-era report specifies three USB-C ports—one rated at 20 Gbps and two at 5 Gbps. That speed breakdown is reported by secondary coverage, not confirmed here against a detailed CORSAIR specification sheet, so check the product listing or manufacturer documentation before buying based on port speeds. The available information does not establish a complete comparison of Vault and standard FRAME 4000D specifications, included fans or accessories.
How much do the Corsair FRAME 4000D Vault cases cost?
Launch coverage in February 2026 reported a U.S. price of $139.99 per case. That is a historical launch price, not a verified current price. CORSAIR’s U.S. PC case catalog provides category context but does not confirm current Vault Series inventory. Check a live listing for the exact Nova or Galaxy version, seller, stock and price; the available sources do not establish present availability, regional pricing, shipping or seller authorization.
