Corsair Obsidian 500D Mid-Tower Chassis Review


Corsair Obsidian 500D

With a long history of creating some of the finest enthusiast PC chassis in the world, Corsair has a big reputation to live up to. It’s been on the market a little while now, but we’ve finally gotten our hands on the mighty Corsair 500D. We’ve heard great things about this chassis, but now it’s time to see what all of the fuss is about!

Equipped with dual tempered glass side panels, and a premium aluminium exterior, it’s one of their most prestigious chassis for ATX systems. It comes with impressive cooling support for both air and liquid cooling systems too. You’ll find room for a 360mm radiator in the front, as well as a 280mm radiator in the top. Of course, you can also opt for 3 x 120mm fans and 2 x 140mm fans for air cooled builds. With a built-in PSU shroud, robust cable routing, removable glass doors, and modular components, it’s sure to be a fine build. So, let’s jump in for a closer look!

Features

  • Sharp, Black, and Beautiful: Iconic Obsidian series styling combines clean exterior lines and smoked tempered glass side doors.
  • Built Better: Aluminum front panel, top plate and door handles add a refined feel and premium look.
  • Superb Cooling: Direct Airflow Path™ design channels cool air where your PC needs it most.
  • Removable Fan and Radiator Trays: Installing fans and radiators is now easy with removable trays that can hold up to five 120mm fans or four 140mm fans.
  • Expansive Storage Space: Easy-to-use mounts for up to two 3.5in HDDs and three 2.5in SSDs.
  • Future-Proof Front I/O: Featuring a super-speed USB 3.1 Type-C port and additional connections for all modern peripherals.

So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
