That looks pretty much perfect to me. I liked the 800 and 700, but they were just too big, this should fit the bill well for anyone who like me, prefers their cases just a little bit smaller.

The Corsair Obsidian Series 650D is expected to be available in April, 2011, from Corsair's worldwide network of authorized distributors and resellers. It has a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price of $199.99 and is supplied with a 2-year warranty. Like all Corsair products, the Obsidian Series 650D is backed by Corsair’s highly regarded customer service and technical support.

looks good for the price.

might have to sell my 800d for that 600d

Up on ocuk http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-036-CS&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=1489 for £146.

Looks like it's hitting a decent price point this time around too, nice

latest and new but no USB 3 support?

Is it just me or is that window in the wrong place? Great we can see the power supply, never seen one of them before, but only half the motherboard.

A fan for the hard drives would have been nice.

Looks good until you remember the 700D was around £145 for ages.

Looks like an abomination compared to the 800D. That side panel is hideous!

Corair have also showed off a new 600T case http://www.corsair.com/cases/graphi...hite-graphite-series-600t-mid-tower-case.html only difference is its white and has a window.

Hi. Will the 600t and/or 650d handle temps from a gtx 460 in sli?

I'm going to build a sandy bridge, gtx 460 sli rig and need a case. Ideally I'd like a window, usb 3 and (I think, a side panel fan).

Doesn't look like there's much support for water cooling (unless you mod it I guess). I always felt it was the out-of-the-box water-cooling friendliness that made up for the otherwise fairly bland look (imho) of the 700D & 800D.

This is basically a 600t with a different exterior.

No sata backplate no usb3 = no sale

both the 650T and white 600T have a single USB3 port

Yes, and you know some pals are questioning the positioning of the window on the new Obsidian 650D on forums. You have to hand it to Corsair though, good stuff.. hopefully they will give existing 600t owners the option of the window panel as seen on white version.. heard they will.

Looks like the window has been sized and positioned specifically to show off your (presumably Corsair) PSU. Can't say that I'm a fan; even if I did have £145 to spend on a case I'd probably avoid this one.

Apart from the window, looks pretty good IMO.

Do like the look of these, looking to build a new system in one of the Corsair cases around April time

scrlk · 8 Jan 2011 at 17:14

Looks like the love child between the FT02 and 800D.

shame about no usb 3 support
