Corsair Obsidian 650D

Robzere31 · 2 Jan 2014 at 19:19

Coming to the end of picking up my parts for my new build.
Think I've finally decided on my case, the Corsair Obsidian 650D.

Is there any reason I should buy this?

I don't want a case that dominates the desk, but I do want a case that has enough room in it to fit everything
& be a centre piece when running as I intend to have it iluminated inside.

If you want to go with something slightly smaller but still big enough to fit a full length modular power supply, drives and room for radiators you could go with the corsair 350d.

Although it depends on your motherboard choice and if you would be willing to go to the MATX size. It really is a great case and a good size.

Does anyone know if the 650 have a PSU filter as well as a front filter?

I have looked at the 350D, but not sure on it.

Also looked at the Antec P280, which I really like, but no window available at the moment, although Overclockers reckon they'll have stock in a couple of weeks.

I can confirm the 650 has a dust filter under the psu. Its in a small tray and slides out

Excellent, thank you.

Dust filters on the 650D work really well at keeping control of dust from inside the case but dust will still get in over time through other holes and such like (fan grilles).

Great case though, had mine for over a year and midded teh frotn fan grille with a CoolerMaster Megaflow fan.
