There are some little things wrong with the Obsidian 650D case, as there are with most every case. But, there are a lot of big things right with this case. It's easy to get into. It has four USB ports on the front. It has a hot swap bay for hard drives...
I'm not particularly happy with the results of Corsair's Obsidian 650D. I love everything else about the case: I love how it looks, I love how easy it is to assemble, I love how feature rich it is, and I love how clean the installations are by virtue of C...
The Corsair 650D was a pleasure to work with while reviewing it. The 650D oozes class with the brushed black exterior, which helps show the quality and pride Corsair takes in making their cases. The stealth I/O ports were a nice touch to help keep the...

So how would you go about creating a smaller case of an already excellent one and diversify your case line-up at the same time? Ask Corsair. They have not only managed to impress with the Graphite 600T (which is also available in white!), but have port...
Having inspected every nook and cranny of the Corsair Obsidian 650D, we have no doubt it's a high-quality product that shines in virtually every category. Perhaps the only true weakness of Corsair's new arrival is its price. At $190, we're inclined to...

When we visited Corsair at CES back in January their big thing is that they wanted to be in the top tier of each type of product they produce. Many companies claim that they want to do that, but Corsair has really done it, especially with their cases....
As I mentioned in the introduction to this review, the original Obsidian 800D is my all time favorite case. The only real issues with that chassis are its full size stature and the price tag. Not everyone has a use for a full size ATX case nor do the...
The Corsair Obsidian 650D is a very classy case, some people would even call it sexy, and even though it's a mid-tower, the interior is spacious enough to hold today's largest graphics cards and power supplies without having to remove one of the hard d...

The performance of a case is all about its cooling prowess and the noise it makes while doing so. The 650D is setup to keep every system but the most extreme overclockers cool using two 200mm fans and one 120mm fan. These together provide a total of o...
and ScoreCorsair has come out of the gate at full force with the designs of the cases they have. Who would have thought that a Memory/PSU maker could even make a half decent case. I mean there are others out there that only make cases and they can not...
