Corsair Obsidian 800D

[EnJoY]

Hey guys,

I'm curious to know what you guys think of this case. I'm currently starting a review on it. Inside the case I'll be housing the following:

AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE
Asus Crosshair III Formula
2x2GB Mushkin CAS6 1600MHz DDR3
Intel XM25 80GB Gen2
2x 1TB Western Digital's
ATI Radeon HD4850 1GB

And the following sponsored by Corsair (including the case obviously)

Corsair HX850W Modular PSU
Corsair H50 compact watercooling unit

I took pics of the case less than an hour ago and will be starting the build tonight with pics along the way. Expect the full review in a couple of days.

if this case was not so expensive I would have it for every computer in the house. It looks amazing and seems to have amazing cable control features to it.

one thing I am curious about is the air flow ...

you are lucky Alex SOB :up: :)

My thoughts on this case are that it basically sucks for airflow and will work great if you were to go for a good liquid setup....

Beautiful looking case, too pricey for me (I am a cheap basterd :) ) interested to see the air vs water cooling capabilities of it too.

I plan on going a legit watercooling setup in the near future. I have one in my current rig (cosmos S), but for this review and for now I'll just be using the H50.

Great case after I have had my way with it!!! Can you say 50% perforated Stainless steel? The window would be replace with a fan array.

how is it coming along Alex?

What kind of camera are you going to be using?

Using my Canon PowerShot SX200 IS. Great compact camera.

Build should have been finished yesterday but we got a ton of snow and UPS could not deliver my mobo and cpu. So it will be completed tonight instead. Everything takes a lot longer when you stop to photograph every 10mins or so. ;)

EnJoY if you are interested LMK the dimensions and I can get you some perf to replace that window.

I like the window. Give the steel construction, despite all the fan holes, I'm actually expecting it to be quieter than most of the larger aluminum cases I've dealt with.

Ahhh! quiet rig:) I use the lappy for that.

Quieter huh?
That would be a huge plus for this case if that comes to be true.:up:

[EnJoY]

It's all together. Just need to snap a few more pics. Gonna start editing the photos I do have, there's a ton! I'll be starting the review today.

[The Duke]

how did everything fit? I am assuming everything fit great and still have tons of room left over.

Oh my god, so much space and it all looks so clean. I've always been fairly good with wire management, but this thing seriously makes it ridiculously easy to have a clean case.

how is the write-up coming bud?

It'll be up tomorrow, or possibly later tonight. ;)

you sir have made a jealous man out of me with that case

I could barely get it through my hallway, up the stairs, into my nerdy laboratory.
that lab looks a lot like a dining room :rofl:
