My first case was defective out of the box, the front fan grill/panel's mounting points are made of thin, weak plastic that after some use have the potential to break. I bought the case for the looks (mostly) which doesn't disappoint.

Looks; dust filters; fans included; zip ties included; black everything

Front panel defect; flimsy side panels and drive caddy; limited tie down points for cables; short front panel connectors; 5.25" bay mounting does not line up with front fascia

I wanted to give this case five stars and for the most part it has earned it. I only have one complaint, The front panel wires are too short! In order to reach my Motherboard (MSI Krait Gaming) I had to stretch them way too tight. Even after rerouting them I was worried I may break a wire.

KitGuru says: This is a good, effective case however the stock fans are too noisy. It doesn't take much work to fix it up but that shouldn't be necessary.

Smart appearance; Dust filters are simple to remove; clean and replace; The free flow nature of the case gives epic cooling; Plenty of space for a huge graphics card and CPU cooler; Reasonable price; Loads of options for installing after-market cooling

The stock Corsair fans are too noisy and don't have speed controllers; Not enough room for tidying away the cables; Flimsy side panels flex too much and can be awkward to replace

In a bid to supply the system builder with just about every possible size of computer chassis, Corsair are back again with yet another Obsidian Series enclosure. Their continuous dedication to this series has certainly been a worthwhile venture with success across all parts of the globe.

+ Stylish aesthetics; + Good build quality; + Decent cooling performance; + Tool-free mechanisms throughout; + SSD support behind mobo tray; + Can accommodate high-end kit; + Multiple locations for varied radiator support

Would be awesome if quality was slightly higher. Some parts are falling off and I had to glue them myself. HDD tray is really bad. Fan filters are very easy to take off and clean.

For the past couple of years, Corsair has enjoyed success in the mid-tower chassis market with award-winning enclosures such as the Graphite Series 600T and Obsidian Series 650D. Both options continue to have plenty to offer, but the ￡140 price tag is overshadowing the company's earlier efforts.

Originally, the Obsidian series cases were large full-towers, consistently developed as cases for extreme high-end hardware. The current culmination of this development was the Obsidian Series 900D: a double chamber case which could effortlessly accomodate HPTX motherboards, and even a powerful...

high cooling performance with three pre-assembled fans; four cooler spots; modular HDD/SSD cage; plus two 2.5" drive bays behind the mainboard; tool-free installation for expansion cards and all drive formats (2.5" only behind the tray; all three dust filters can be cleaned quickly; generously-sized...

noise level; material thickness not meeting the premium standards of the series; not enough space for some high-end tower coolers

I bought this case with 2x120mm SP120 Corsair fans for the bottom, 2x140mm ML140 Corsair fans for the front and an NZXT Sentry 3 fan controller. I already own a Corsair 240mm AIO watercooler so I have a total of 7 fans, including the rear exhaust. This case fits them all.

As a case manufacturer, Corsair's quest is now complete. Just recently it filled out its product stack with a mini-ITX model, the ) all of which fall under its Obsidian brand. However, while technically complete that doesn't mean there's isn't room for a few more additions.

I also have a 250D from Corsair. The obsidian line takes are definitely the best cases I've come by. Corsair also has rock solid customer service for anything that goes wrong. Just log in and submit a ticket - chances are your new part will be shipped the next day!

- Tons of fan/radiator mounting options - Magnetic dust filters on top; front; and bottom - this thing is very easy to clean - Excellent cable management - Excellent drive mounting (has 2x SSD brackets behind the motherboard); and tons of room to expand on the existing 3.5" mounts - Looks clean and...

- None
