Default [G3D] Corsair Obsidian 800D review
Quote:
Today a review on what we consider to be the near perfect PC chassis. Corsair has a reputation to deliver products in the somewhat more high-end region, they set the bar really high when it comes to enthusiast hardware and tend to really think things through. As such, when the first ideas started to float in the coffee room in a building about a Corsair Chassis, the R&D team put together some great minds and did not at all look at building a chassis, no, they very likely reversed roles; what would you guys like to see or need when building your dream chassis?

Their first ever PC chassis is called the Obsidian 800D, and it is without any shame I dare to state that this is among the best ever PC cases I personally have ever tested. Yes, this chassis is marvelous.

Ohh... That's sexy.


Like not just kinda sexy either. I'd literally have sex with it if the opportunity presented itself.

I think this case was mainly made for watercooling. The airflow of this case isnt very good other than the fact that it blows bottom to top instead of front to back.

This case screams "Put a triple rad up in here and get some raid 1 shenannigans up in this biaaa-!
