Corsair Obsidian 900D review

We test and review the all new Corsair Obsidian 900D chassis. Not mid, not full, heck, this is a super tower. Probably one of the biggest products you have seen to date. It is highly configurable, has hidden options in every corner and a craftsmanship that will stun you.

That is Beautiful. Time to start saving up for the case and the slight addition to my power bill. But it will be glorious.

I don't want to nitpick, but I will. The panels don't match the front mask at all(they aren't flush with it), for that amount of money it's sloppy work.

Yeah it does look like crap -- maybe it wasn't pushed all the way in for the photos?
As I said in the other thread they are up for sale on Corsairs site today but it's shipping direct from China for $200 each. They will obviously get more in stock at a different time for way cheaper, Corsair gave people the option and a bunch of people were willing to spend $200 to ship it.
Anyway I think the case looks awesome and I'm going to eventually pick one up when it's in stock at a reasonable price.
Thanks for the review.

Anandtech's photo looks like that as well.

Makes me wonder if it's worth grabbing an EVGA SR-2, one of these and a pair of dual socket Xeons, another H100i and another 24 GB of RAM...

That is a very nice watercooling case, The 2x480 rads is more than enough cooling for anything.
Pretty epic.
How much is it then? I reckon around £350-£400.

When i last bought my 800D it cost somewhere around $187 to ship it lol. I will get this case if I consider getting IVY-E, if its worth it.

Well matey I'll be coming to you for advice but everything is up in the air at the moment as we are buying a new house and it needs lots of work doing to it. So I may not be able to buy everything I want straight away. I think I will be ok to secure the case and then do my research and buy the loop bit by bit. I will have 2 bathrooms a kitchen some with some structural work and a new boiler to pay for, oh and redecorating an entire house!
Love this case though.

Beautiful case. Don't think I'll ever own it though, I just couldn't justify that money. But really nice.

If I ever but another large case, it will be this one! Though I can't see me getting rid of the Switch anytime soon, but man it would be great to have a couple of 480 beasts cooling everything!

No probs mate, Theres a handful of us always at hand to help out.
Most of it is just common sense and taking your time, Im sure you will be fine and it will be a great build when finished.
Good luck with the house, I know what your going through, worth it when finished!

$350 for a plain jane black case!?
Hell no.
If it included the water cooling then it might be worth talking about.

Dunno why but these days I really like small cases, getting sick of massive ones.
and yeah the price is ridiculous.

Depending on how long it takes for Amazon to get this in, I might go for the Silverstone TJ11 instead. IDK though.
