Corsair Obsidian 250D Mini-ITX Chassis Review

Final Thoughts


Total installation time was a breezy twenty minutes, having the ability to remove both side panels and the top panels makes for an easy installation process, with lots of extra space to work with for large graphics cards, cable routing and certainly a lot of room for airflow.

There is a decent amount of space for a large CPU cooler, but a low profile cooler will prevent you from blocking the view from the top panel window. With a large fan on the front driving air over all major components, the single 120mm exhaust should be more than enough to remove any heat, I can’t imagine many builds will require the use of the 80mm fan mounts at the rear.

Overall layout looks great, but I would have liked to see better cable routing holes around the motherboard to prevent trailing cables over the motherboard.

The space to the right of the motherboard will support a slim radiator, but fans could conflict with the motherboard, although there are plenty of low profile fans on the market that would be ideal.

Around the back we see everything looks neat and tidy and I love that the hard drive bays are separate as it keeps the interior of the build looking neat and tidy.

The view through the top panel looks nice and clear, investing in LED fans could provide you with some stunning effects in a dark room, especially once the LED lighting starts to shine through the left and right side ventilation.

The chassis looks great from both sides, but you would have to avoid keeping it next to a wall as ventilation does rely on the left and right sides of the case being kept clear.
