First case of Corsair Obsidian 700D is the (same as the 800D, only without Window Kit) really noteworthy. The build quality is excellent, the simple yet chic look and it's all (except for the Corsair logo) completely black. With each push of a button can be even the cabinet doors open, virtually. The interior offers plenty of room for a water cooling system. A 360mm radiator, equipped with three 120mm fans, which can be mounted on the front cover prepared, has an average of 15-25mm place to motherboard, hose guides outward and into the lower sector are also provided. For system components such as graphics cards are about 37cm square to the cable cover of the hot-swap bay. Both these cable cover and the cover is attached to the side 140mm fan are unfortunately cheap-looking plastic, which you can figure out but. The almost revolutionary cable management is probably the main point, which makes it, for the present state of things, unique. Thus, it leaves the cable management of power supplies already seem almost superfluous, but only almost, because focusing too many cable strands at one point, the right cabinet door can not close (it has predominantly margin of a maximum of 3 cm), and pops through the opening - and closing mechanism on easy again. Did you consider that the 8 pin motherboard connection of the power supply is not sufficient to upward Corsair has ready the relief it is an extension cable for this case, which should be enough in most cases. Also for the care, the housing could replace the vacuum cleaner, was counteracted, a retractable dust filter which is beneath the housing, provides the necessary protection; This can be washed off simply. Both 3.5 "and 2.5" HDD or SSD can be used in the hot-swap Bays, for the lower HDD bay but must for the installation of 2.5 "hard drives, a 2.5" to 3.5 "adapters or similar can be used. For installation in the lower HDD bay, the front cover of the housing with a little effort needs to be removed. The perfection comes close unfortunately a strong headwind. The steel structure (which does not necessarily justify the price) brings this housing to a whopping 16kg empty weight. Unforgivable is the compatibility of components, which require at least two 5.25 "slots, or in this case, the non-compatibility, this simply is not getting in. Through the one-sided slider which the 5.25 "securing components, these still need to support carrier which in protrude about 1 cm into the shaft and thus the installation for 5.25" makes multislot components impossible (removing these carrier with eg a Flex could allow the use of such again, this was not tested or read something in this regard, I hope someone will dare and report on the outcome). Already good, but in need of improvement. On the whole, I was still pleasantly surprised this case. Eliminates Corsair these blunders and takes advantage of this construction in the next generation / revision (or whatever), is from the 4 Stars 5 Stars safely.
I hope my review was helpful to you! If so, please click -Yes. Many Thanks.
