Corsair Obsidian 500D Review

I think this looks slightly better than the 570X, which is a bold thing to say because that's a sexy case. This looks more industrial and robotic and less like a museum centre piece; more up my alley. I also love the layout and features.

Thanks a lot for the competition. I've entered. All the best to everyone!
 
I'm excited for another awesome competition so soon after the last one. Thanks for the chance to win another great looking system!
 
WOW ! just wow !

The Tiny One knocks it out of the park yet again ! this is an incredible system and to think i stand an honest and fair chance at winning this beast fills me with absolute joy and excitement ! what a marvellous and magnificent machine it truly is ! this mounts up to one MONUMENTAL GIVEAWAY ! win or lose i thank you for the chance ! GLORIOUS !!! AND SO SOON AFTER THE LAST FANTASTIC GIVEAWAY ! respect goes out to you Tom for doing this generous giveaway , and my thanks also goes out to any sponsors that also helped make this possible
 
I just finished watching the review video and it seems like a great case. It's been many many years since I've been able to afford to build a new system so I haven't paid much attention to newer cases. I'm happy to see such simple quality of life improvements like dust filters, built in cable management, and easy open doors. That's probably standard these days but they are changes I would have greatly welcomed when I did my last build. I really enjoyed the looks of the case and I absolutely agree that the smokey glass looks sharp on a dark obsidian case like this one. Thanks for the comprehensive review, I will definitely consider this case as a possibility once I finish saving up for a new system in the next few months. Now all I need is for GPU prices to drop closer to normal again. :)
 
That is undoubtedly one solid build! Of course, it's a big thank you to the sponsors of the giveaway but it can't be ignored that this has been beautifully pieced together too. Best of luck to everyone!
 
That's a great review. The case is pretty roomy and that's what I like about it. Will it be able to accommodate 2 30cm twin slot GPUs in SLi or Crossfire, along with them being water cooled using custom hard-line?

Maybe that gap is the only way this case has good airflow?

Let's be honest, cases have had totally closed sidepanels for decades, plenty of those had proper good airflow, these gaps just attract dust and it just plain looks bad, kinda surprised TTL didnt mention it as he did on the 570x review.

He mentioned it in the written review in the conclusion. He said it was the only major design flaw.
 
Definitely an improvement over the 570x imo, I like the idea of the air filters just sliding out instead of needing to take the case half apart
 
One of my favorite line of cases gets an update, looks good so far will check the video later today.
Now if only there was some way to win this? :worship: :oc3d:
 
Sat here with a pillow on my lap, god that is a gorgeous case.

Now to come up with excuses for the inevitable £140 hole in my bank account... :lol:

This looks miles better then the 570x but that gap between the chassis and sidepanel is terrible if im honest.

Agree.

I wish I had held off buying the C700P. This one has promise

Much, much better than the 570x

Wish I saw a revamped 900D though. I'd be all over it like white on rice on a paper plate in a snowstorm!!!!
