  • If you want the full indepth nitty gritty on the 250D then you really need to watch the video above, due to our inability to shut up if we wrote everything down this review would be about 40 pages long and I doubt you'd get past page 3 eh boys ;)The 250D...

  • Abstract:  2014 could be the year of the small desktop. An ever growing number of motherboard manufacturers are introducing Mini ITX boards, as well as a lot of new cases that are being put on the market. We thought this called for a new test on Hardware.Info of t...

  • Professional aesthetics, Good build quality, Good cooling performance, Can house high-end graphics cards, Plenty of fan options, Allocation for 240mm radiator, 2.5” and 3.5” drive support
  • Cable management is tricky, Some space not utilised
  • The Obsidian family has gathered lots of appeal over the years and rightly so, the models within this range are professional, elegant and aesthetically pleasing. The only piece missing from the puzzle is the inclusion of a Mini-ITX option, which is wh...

  • Understated design, Supports 240 mm radiator, Solid build quality, Well designed internal layout
  • Home / Component / Cases / Corsair Obsidian 250D Case Review
  • Overall we are very impressed with what the Corsair Obsidian 250D has to offer.  Even though Corsair are clearly targeting a similar market to that served by the Bitfenix Prodigy, the two cases are very different.  The Obsidian 250D is a much more subdued...

  • We have to admit that on opening the box, we got pretty excited with the Obsidian 250D. Its water-cooling potential all but matches the BitFenix Prodigy despite being smaller, it has excellent GPU cooling and while it's CPU cooling isn't amazing, it ha...

  • Solid build quality, Room for a highend graphics card, Can house a 240mm radiator, Ample aircooled potential, Toolfree storage bays, Multiple dust filters
  • A bit big, for a SFF chassis, Does little to minimise noise
  • It has taken the best part of five years for Corsair to add a Mini ITX chassis to its burgeoning product line. This prolonged absence from a growing market opened the door for rivals, who were quick to fill the gap with high-performance solutions that ha...

  • Solid build quality, Holds tops of hardware, Options for a fairly high end custom water system or AIOs, Tool free storage bays, Good air cooling potential, Multiple dust filters, Price
  • Kind of big for a MINI-ITX case, Mechanical hard drive can make a lot of noise, A better cover for storage bay would have been nice
  • Corsair says Obsidian 250D “Mini ITX without any compromise” and they are not wrong. Although 250D those not really look like your regular Mini-ITX cabinet it is on a rather larger side is not something you might hide in your living room near your TV,It’s a case for those...

  • Corsair's past offerings have been very solid and the new Obsidian Series 250D - their very first Mini-ITX casing - follows in this tradition.It might not be the most stylish or eye-catching casing, but the Obsidian Series 250D has a pleasant design and c...
