Corsair Obsidian 700D coming , economy version of the 800D

CharlieCS · Feb 28, 2010

With the exception of the elimination of the hot-swap SATA bays and associated front panel changes, and the change to the windowed side-panel, the Obsidian Series 700D is identical to the 800D, boasting the same innovative multi-zone cooling system, removable CPU backplate for easy heatsink installation, tool-free 5.25 inch drive installation, and sophisticated cable-management system. Like the 800D, the 700D also features the capability to add a triple 120mm radiator, making it ideal for high-end, liquid-cooled Dream PCs. The 700D is built using the same high-quality, durable materials and retains 800D’s sleek, sophisticated looks.

I remember the talk when corsair released its first case , people wished it was cheaper or had a cheaper version , well there you go . I like it , could certainly live without a hot swap bay and a window .wondering how much cheaper it will be tho .

They should make a mid tower.

Something about the same size as Fractal Design's Define R2 case would be nice (W*H*D = 207*440*521 mm), except with the 800D design and window.

Hmmm... I hope they sell a window mod. I like how the 800D looks and I love the cable management and other cool features, but the price always made it see ridiculous to me. Hopefully this case will be in the 200's.

Nice case, but I would'nt buy diddly from Corsair. Their products are way overpriced and the customer support is down in the crapper.

The only reason I would want the 800D would be for the hot swappable drives but it does still look pretty sweet.

I hate any case that isn't a full tower, and I wish every case supported E-ATX. I like to have room to work in, and not having to bend cables to the point of breaking to plug things in.

Even their PSUs?

Lets just say I, personally, wouldn't buy anything with a Corsair label. This is personal preference.
