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.
Very well-designed; Hinged tempered-glass side panels; Great fit and finish; Great looks
Price; for some; Single 120mm intake fan; Lacking cooling performance
When Corsair announced its arrival in the PC chassis arena, it did so with a bang. Who remembers the epic Obsidian Series 800D The beautiful Graphite Series 600T Or the super-sleek Obsidian Series 550D
Sleek; uncluttered design; Easy access hinged doors; Removable fan/radiator trays; Solid build quality throughout; I/O panel includes USB 3.1 Type-C; Good cable management
Top and front dust filters are fiddly; Only two bundled fans; Does little to contain noise
The 500D is a welcome return for Corsair to more premium cases, and it feels like a worthy addition to the much-loved Obsidian Series. The combination of brushed aluminium and tempered glass is hardly revolutionary, but that doesn't mean it doesn't work very well, and we like what Corsair has done...
Corsair does a great job at designing beautiful looking cases, everything on the Obsidian 500D screams high-end. The finish on the case is flawless, and the attention to detail shows. With Tempered Glass side panels, you will want to have a clean interior to show off your components.
