Corsair Obsidian 450D Review

Conclusion
| General | + | - | |
| The Corsair Obsidian 450D is a great addition to the well known Obsidian Series from Corsair. The build quality reflects the Corsair standard and the product is very good in almost all aspects. However, the Obsidian 450D is not perfect, as we would have liked to see more space behind the motherboard for a better cable management. We particularly enjoyed the presence of large magnetic dust filters and a very good bundle. Inside the Obsidian 450D we found two 140mm fans and one 120mm fan which are pre-installed at the front and the back of the case. | - Design

| The build quality with this case is on a really good level. For example, Corsair
did not hopelessly save weight on the side panels. Furthermore, putting all the components in place is very comfortable, since there is plenty of space everywhere. We liked the rubber grommets and the
use of large dust filters. For our configuration we used an all-in-one water cooling system from Corsair which fits perfectly at the top part of the 450D. |

| The Obsidian 450D is a mid-tower case for ATX motherboard. The finish of the front is well done. Overall, the design is timeless and the case would look decent on, as well as underneath, any desk. We would even go to the point to say that installing a 5.25 inch drive would ruin the looks of the front. Even on the inside, Corsair has used a cool solution for 2.5" drives, in order to keep the clean design. | - Design | ||
| Recommendation | + | - | |
| Should you be looking for a mid-tower case with a cool design, with a good bundle, manufacturing quality and a very reasonable price tag of US $119.99, then you will not make a mistake by choosing the Corsair Obsidian 450D. | -
