Corsair's Obsidian Line of Cases has proven itself to be almost the go to line for computer enthusiasts and today is no exception; the Obsidian Series 650D is the one of the best cases I have worked with yet. ...
Abstract: to the Corsair Obsidian Series 650D Mid-Tower People saw a new breath of life given to the world of PC cases when Corsair released the Obsidian 800D. When released the 800D became the new standard in PC cases, being the benchmark in which everyone wou...
A good way to describe Corsair's Obsidian Series 650D would be as a Graphite Series 600T wearing a tuxedo. Things are more or less the same under the hood, but the 650D replaces smooth curves with square edges and has no LEDs to draw attention to itself....
Abstract: Corsair has had a good run as of late with a host of new products that fall WELL outside the original memory vendor stereotype. I mean, seriously? We have had cases like the Obsidian 800D, power supplies like the HX1000W, headphones and speakers li...

I've been waiting for the Obsidian 650D for a good while now, and was really excited to get my hands on it. The idea was to get 800D quality and attention to detail at more reasonable size and price, and the 650D pulled it off just as I'd hoped. The c...

The Corsair Obsidian 650D is a high-end mid-tower case. The main problem is its price. It is a very nice case, but we think that, for the average user, there are other options on the market with better cost/benefit ratios – including the Corsair Graphi...

I'll start off by saying that, although the results from the testing aren't astonishing on the graphs themselves, this is only because of the small spreads of only a few degrees in each test. Even having one or two degrees difference, which isn't crit...
Just having finished looking at a couple of mid tower chassis', one from Cooler Master and one from IN WIN, I don't think the timing could have been better for me to look at the 650D. Each of the three have a very individual look, but the 650 has the...
