Corsair launched their new case. The Obsidian D800

**MIG-31** · Jun 2, 2009, 07:43 PM

The Obsidian Series 800D is built to last through years of motherboard, power, memory, cooling, and component upgrades.

The steel structure has a matte black coating both inside out and is finished with a brushed aluminum faceplate for a professional look that’s both serious and awe-inspiring. A windowed side panel makes it easy to show off your work.

Alright thanks for moving, Mig.

It hasn't changed much since CeBit. I like it overall, but I'm not really a fan of the viewpanel (which has the shape of a corsair ship sail). Btw, I haven't seen it available for sale anywhere yet.

Yeah, looks like a damned fine case. I like the fact that it's flat on top, as my Koolance Exos would sit there quite happily. I'm not a big fan of windows on a case, but I could live with it, and it sounds like they might have a solid side version in the works as well. The REALLY nice feature is all of the holes for wire management, and the grommets that they use with them. Those just make it look really 'clean' inside.

I don't have enough space for a full tower case though

Now, if they were to come out with a mid-tower version...
