Unmatched build quality for a case in this category. Sleek looks courtesy of glass and aluminum. Clearance for virtually all hardware

Price
For some
Single 120mm intake fan
Lacking cooling performance
USB 3.1 Type-C I/O is nice
But most boards don't offer the right plug yet
Main side panel tint could be lighter
Cable routing inside the chassis not ideal for audio cable
Vertical expansion-slot covers of the break-out kind
Not enough 2.5" mounting s
Expensive for a midtower chassis at $140 and it doesn't have the longest feature list (you may want extra fans or LED lighting etc.)

USB 3.1 Type-C port on the front I/O panel, Tempered glass side window doors are hinged, Great build quality
Only two fans included, No lighting and fan hub, Expensive
The Corsair Obsidian 500D brings the basic features you would expect in a premium case. It continues the legacy of the Obsidian series to support high-end cooling solutions. Of course, it could have done better. In 2018, it's expected now for cases to inc...

Lo cierto es que aunque es un chasis con algunas características que nos gustan mucho, tampoco es algo sorprendente por su precio, tiene unas buenas características y acabados muy pulidos con cristal templado.Si te gusta la estética más oscura combinada c...
Espacio interno muy bien aprovechado, sin módulos, Diseño atrevido, con acentos de color blanco, Direct Airflow Path, para una refrigeración superior, Lateral con ventana de vidrio templado, Incluye USB tipo C frontal

Precio algo elevado, No incluye el adaptador riser
