Corsair Obsidian 550D Case Review

Corsair sent us their latest mid-tower case to review and it is a whopper. They went down the silent path by covering all the panels with sound deadening material and even made panels to cover any optional fan holes to maximize silence.

open the door first!

take the door off!

You can open the door with devices attached, as long as the cables are not super short. I constantly have my headphones and a gamepad plugged into the front ports and can easily open/close the door without issues (it just slides along the cables smoothly). That said, I rarely open my front door, usually only to clear the front fan filters. The only disc I've used on my new build is Windows 7 (haven't put it on USB yet).

Looks like a great case but one thing I don’t get is why they putted the front usb, audio and power button on the front :/ First it looks ugly and you cannot open the door while charging your phone or using usb drive and so on. Bothers me, why don’t just put it on the top of the case…

its practically a 500R w/ some stuff replaced. I like the fact that it looks clean and sleek.
