It's been a while since Corsair updated the high-end part of their Obsidian series. A few weeks ago we have published a review on the 500D and the company might add soon another case to their portfolio. With the Obsidian 1000D, Corsair is going to introduce a new super-tower case which sport a lot of interesting features.


The 1000D is a super-tower chassis that's been made from steel, aluminum and tempered glass. On this case the tempered glass is used on both side panels while the main chassis is made out steel with aluminum covers. The 1000D is a real monster and measures 693 x 307 x 697mm, with a total weight of 29Kg and it classifies as a super-tower.

On the inside there is space for E-ATX or SSI-EEB motherboards. Cooling wise there is enough room for two massive radiators (480mm) that can be mounted in the front and for another big one (420mm) on the top. In addition there is enough space for high-end tower coolers, which can measure up to 180mm in height.

According to the pictures, the internal layout has been reworked if compared to the Obsidian 500D. While on the 500D the layout is overall simple and straightforward, on the 1000D there are two doors placed behind the motherboard tray where you can install all the storage drives. Inside the 1000D there is enough space for five HDDs and six SSDs. On the top the case, there are four USB 3.1 Type-C ports as well as standard HD audio jacks, alongside power and reset switches.

Since the Obsidian 1000D should cost around $500 dollar, we expect to see some lighting control or fan controller included in the delivery.
