Corsair Obsidian 550D

So, right then, let's start off with the review. As always we begin with packaging. It's a simple yet informative thing to show as when you purchase a chassis, honestly you do not want any defects and scratches on it. The 550D is packaged in cardboard.

Once you take the unit out of the cardboard box you'll notice two layers of foam protecting the unit, which on its end is covered in a plastic bag.

Once you remove that you'll notice the important parts have been covered with a plastic wrap. Packaging was done carefully and the chances of damage and risk, thanks to that, are minimal.

And there is is fully unpackaged. The three S'es -- Simple, Silent and Stylish. The front door is made out of aluminum and can be opened up from both sides. pull it forward and you can remove it completely. The mechanism is simple yet works well. The size of the chassis by the way is 20.9” x 8.7” x 19.5” with the chassis supporting both ATX  and mATX form factor motherboards. Do observe the rectangular panels, we'll talk about them in a tidbit.

Corsair Obsidian 350D review
We review a new chassis from Corsair, it Obsidian 350D. It is the mini-me version of the new Obsidian 900D chassis. Not mid, not full, mini and this intended for small form factor PCs. Now the product might be tagged as mini, the details and features however are grand. Armed with a price much better then the 900D this might be the product a lot of you are on the lookout for.

Corsair Voyager Air review
We review the Voyager Air, it is a portable storage unit allows you to connect it towards USB 3.0 and Ethernet, but it also includes WIFI support and it actually comes on a 100 GB HDD model as well. This great looking device might just be what the doctor to move or stream your content from.
