Launch coverage reported a price of $139.99 and 1,337 units of each finish in 2026; neither figure establishes today’s price or remaining stock.
What are the FRAME 4000D Vault cases?
Nova and Galaxy are two limited-edition finishes built on CORSAIR’s FRAME 4000D case platform. CORSAIR describes the paint as changing tone as light moves across the surface, and says each case has an individually numbered aluminum badge. The finish is a painted color-shift effect, not software-controlled RGB lighting. CORSAIR’s announcement describes the effect, while launch-period coverage supplies the colorway names and further product details.
Nova and Galaxy colorways
| Colorway | Reported tones |
|---|---|
| Nova | Blue, teal and purple |
| Galaxy | Pink, green and gray |
Those descriptions are not a promise that every tone will be equally visible in every room: the apparent color depends on ambient lighting and the angle from which the painted panel is viewed. Choose between them by the look you prefer in your setup; the available reporting does not establish a feature or cooling difference between the two finishes.
What changes from the FRAME 4000D foundation?
Launch coverage describes several Vault Series changes shared by the two colorways:
#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
- CORSAIR InfiniRail Fan Mounting System - This steel multi-point mounting system offers unmatched flexibility in front and roof fan configuration. Simply slide the rail to mount fans up to 200mm (140mm in the roof) wherever you like, ensuring targeted airflow
- 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 power-supply shroud, leaving room for a 120 mm fan on the case floor.
- Upgraded front-panel I/O.
One launch-era report specifies three USB-C ports on the updated front panel—one rated at 20 Gbps and two at 5 Gbps. That detailed speed breakdown comes from secondary launch coverage, rather than an official detailed specification sheet cited here, so confirm the particular model’s official specifications before buying based on port speed. The available source material also does not establish a complete compatibility or included-accessory comparison with the standard FRAME 4000D.
How much did the Vault cases cost, and how limited were they?
Launch-period coverage in February 2026 reported a U.S. price of $139.99 and 1,337 units per colorway, or 2,674 total across Nova and Galaxy. These are historical launch figures, not a current price or an inventory count. Current regional pricing, shipping, seller authorization and remaining stock are not established. CORSAIR’s U.S. PC case catalog is a general category listing and does not by itself confirm that either Vault colorway is currently available.
