The Obsidian 800D is Corsair’s first foray into a very competitive chassis market, and they've certainly made an impressive debut. As we’ve seen with Corsair’s move into other component markets, it appears they take their time to ge...
Abstract: Corsair gets our praise as its debut Obsidian 800D model will surely enjoy a warm welcome. It seems to be the most versatile product among the three and is one of the few that offers a 4-disk rack (with the hot swap feature) accessed from the..
Obsidian 800D is without doubt one of the best computer cases in 2009. Although the company has only recently entered this market and Obsidian 800D is their first product, Corsair’s engineers have already set high quality standards that many case-orien...

Manufacturer: CorsairPrice: $280 USAuthor: Steven WaltonEditor: Kylie PerrinDate: 30/12/2009DISCUSS REVIEW [ Conclusion ]The Obsidian 800D is easily one of the best quality cases we have ever reviewed, thanks to Corsair’s extreme attention to detail...
Corsair 800D is certainly a nice case, full of nice features, but we think it is highly overpriced, especially when you can get a Zalman MS1000-HS2, which has six hot-swap hard drive bays (two more than this model from Corsair), for USD 175. Of course ...
If I could sum up the 800D in one word, it'd be substantial. The Obsidian is a no-nonsense, extra-large case with an impressively uninterrupted, blacked-out aesthetic both inside and out. Even though this is Corsair's first entry into the market...

Overall then, the 800D is exactly what it says in the tin - an enthusiast case that's especially aimed at water coolers. It just seems to check all the boxes so well there's not much to add, really. The build quality and design are outstanding, yo...
With the Obsidian 800D Corsair really brings a near perfect and very innovative chassis to the market. Sure, it's a little expensive at 299 USD ~ € 225 - for most of you... but if you are keen on how exactly a PC should look, or if you are into w...

Front panel covers don't hold well at all, Triple radiator allows for noise to exit the case, a cover would have been nice, No 3.5 to 5.25 inch drive bay adapter, Fairly sharp edged front panel, ODD screwless system does not work well, Not a secure LA...
Corsair has really done a great job with their first chassis. They have invested a lot of work and thought into the design and look of the chassis. Instead of going with elaborate looks, the Obsidian 800D goes for the understated look with clean lines ...
