Did I miss a thread on this? - Corsair Obsidian

Couldn't find a thread on this here, so apologies if a repost but this case looks too nice to ignore (link is to Corsair's site - they're not a competitor are they?):

There's a vid as well:

Again, sorry if this is a repost....

And forgot to ask - are OcUK likely to stock this?

Blackhawk47 · 2 Jun 2009 at 20:48

There was a thread about it, quite a while back.

Cant remember exactly though.

Cable management looks nice and easy! Abit too 'boring' for my liking.

mjones1 · 2 Jun 2009 at 21:40

The cable management looks top notch!

Thats a nice case i like it

chuck990 · 2 Jun 2009 at 22:04

i love it... any ideas on price? is it out yet? eta? OCUK stocking?

EdGey · 2 Jun 2009 at 22:24

looks brilliant. i may need to buy one of those if it isnt stupidly priced.

Looks like an ideal water cooling case, but for air cooling, I can't see how it's being ventilated.

The removable plate on the motherboard tray is ingenious!! It would make installing bigger heatsinks much easier.

Edit: seems it draw air from the bottom and exhausts it at the top. Brilliant!

Gammawolf · 2 Jun 2009 at 22:38

Wow, looks like something i'd have to give my arm and leg to afford :confused:

I'm liking the front access to the hdds.

no_1_dave · 2 Jun 2009 at 23:10

Apparently its out early July
$300

owenbglos · 2 Jun 2009 at 23:20

that is defo one for someone who likes cases with no bling but should perform well hopefully

HighlandeR · 3 Jun 2009 at 00:36

looks awesome

$300 thats like £200 here right ?

jlss · 3 Jun 2009 at 00:47

Around that price, but who knows would'nt be suprised if it was more

HighlandeR · 3 Jun 2009 at 00:55

wonder if they will sell that vapour type corsair cooler.....

EdGey · 3 Jun 2009 at 01:37

i think they already are selling it^

at 200 it seems like a decent buy imo, but as said i think it will be more.

RJC · 3 Jun 2009 at 07:14

I think case looks pretty smart

Just going to be quite heavily negative pressure based if you put more fans to top.
I guess that's why 5.25" covers seem to have looser fit/quite gap between them.

That's what I thought as well after I posted, but it'll be interesting to see how it fairs. From what I can see, it only has one fan at the top with possibility to add more.
