Corsair Obsidian 250D Mini-ITX Chassis Review

Exterior


The left side panel features a large ventilation section that will provide plenty of airflow for your GPU. The panel is held in place with a pair of quick release thumb screws at the back of the chassis.

The right side panel is of the same design as the left, behind which you’ll find two 120mm fan mounts and a single pre-installed 120mm fan.

The front panel features a sleek aluminium panel with the Corsair logo at the bottom, there are two push-click clips at the top of it that allow you to easily remove the panel to access the dust filter and fan mounts behind it.

the top left corner features the power and reset buttons, as well as two LED indicators for power and hard drive access.

The top right corner features a pair of USB 3.0 ports and HD audio connections.

Around the back you’ll find two thumb screws at the top, these are used for removing the top panel, there are two 80mm fan mounts and the motherboard I/O cut-out below that. This being a Mini-ITX chassis there are only two expansion slots, more than enough for a dual slot GPU. At the bottom there is room for an ATX PSU which is held in place by a removable cover.

In the bottom left you’ll find a ventilated panel that is held in place with four thumb screws, behind this you will find your hard drive bays (drives are installed from the rear of the chassis).

One of my favourite features on the 250D is the top panel, it features a large window that looks like a sunroof! This gives you a great view of the chassis interior.

On the underside we see very little, but there are four rubber tipped feet that provide great ground clearance, this will allow for plenty of airflow to the PSU air intake, over which you will find a slide out, washable dust filter.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
