The Corsair Obsidian 500D can be a great upgrade to enthusiast looking to build a powerful rig with high-end cooling systems.

USB 3.1 Type-C port on the front I/O panel; Tempered glass side window doors are hinged; Great build quality

Only two fans included; No lighting and fan hub; Expensive

The new Obsidian is a pretty awesome chassis. The side-panel door concept that can open up at the front side and fitted with tempered glass really is the icing on top of the cake. Design and looks, however, are personal. I totally dig the dark looks, but then again some might disagree with me.

Unfortunately unable to test as still waiting on the rest of my rig... but came with adhesive bottom unprotected on inner devices... commander module stuck to the tempered glass... Trying to carefully remove it without damaging or breaking anything...

Great Case would recommend this case

Unmatched build quality for a case in this category; Sleek looks courtesy of glass and aluminum; Clearance for virtually all hardware

The CORSAIR Obsidian 500D offers sleek looks with a thick slab of aluminum up top and heavy swing-open glass side panels. But it does not stop there.

The Corsair Obsidian 500D is a sleek and stellar looking chassis which is more than capable of housing your components. We do feel the cooling needs help, and current pricing is a touch high, yet at the same time, we cannot stop ourselves from recommending it!

It was a bit difficult to remove from initial packaging. Package arrived earlier than expected and allowed me to rebuild my computer with the necessary upgrades the same day my other parts arrived. Great product, well worth the money, airflow increased and dropped my computer temps by almost 25%.

The 500d SE is by far the most beautiful cases I've owned. So much, in fact, that I often find myself just admiring it! Pros: -Visually stunning. Sleek smoked tempered glass along with RGB fans will "wow" your family and friends every time -Super accessible with case doors -The quality-of-life...

Corsair hardly needs an introduction here: The company is a key provider of enthusiast-grade components over the past two decades, with a major following among the PC performance community. Today, the company is rolling out the latest addition to its Obsidian line of premium computer chassis.
