Corsair just released what we find to be an exceptional chassis, meet the Corsair Obsidian 500D PC Case as we review it. The PC case was fitted with two tempered glass side-panel doors that can be opened up at the front side, it also includes aluminum elements, at 139 USD, it isn't that expensive either.

The doors look like they were pulled from the 'concept slate' design from a while back:

I love the way they open - I hope they launch a slightly larger variant of this design for a ~700D or whatever refresh. I want something smaller than my 900D but I still want to be able to fit my quad rad.. if that's even possible.

I've been looking for a new chassis to replace my busted CM Storm Stryker. This might be it, I like the dark looks as well as the latest IO ports and the price sub $150, winner winner chicken dinner

I've become wary of cases that have no fans in the side door above the PCIe slots. My old Silverstone KL-03 kept everything fabulously cool with that. The tower that I had before that was one of the very first that had fans there. My new case doesn't, and things get quite hot, even though there's plenty of ventilation.

Fellas is it okay to want to sleep with a pc case?

Because that's one sexy case I'll tell you that

months later but thx for the review
I have a case with acrylic side window and a giant 200mm fan that kept my SLI cold but now on a single card I don't think I need that anymore it was mostly to blow fresh air between the two cards

Saucy little case. I'm building a new rig next year so I'll be looking for an upgraded version of my 750d.
