Corsair Obsidian 800D

Woodzy · Mar 30, 2010

I am building a new system and have had my eye on the Corsair Obsidian 800D
have not come across any threads on it though :shrug:

What do you all think about the case?

MattNo5ss · Mar 30, 2010

Most people consider it one of the best watercooling cases.

I don't have any personal experiences though.

Basically VERY good for water cooling and alright for air cooling.

If you don't need the hot swap hdd bays, the 700d that is coming out very soon will cost a lot less.

800/700d are great cases. You get what you pay for IMO. If set up right, the air cooling can be greatly improved.

The only real thing that appealed to me about the 800D was the hot swappable HDD bay. Without it you have a case that can do watercooling but doesn't really offer anything new.

You don't use the HSBs... their just for aesthetics

if you want a great all around case, the antec 1200 is the best there is for its price

I do. If you are looking for a monster case that will hold up to a triple rad (even double depth) has oodles of cable management options, this is the way to go.

While the cooling results are not the best (compared to my old 1200), they were only a couple C off in my non scientific testing. Im about to mod my window to allow a 120/140mm fan as intake to get some cooler air in there...

One note to the OP is that you can look at the "SIMILAR THREADS" section below. There has been a bit of discussion on this recently outside of my review.

LoL U can either Buy the 800d with a cold cathode. Order Over 300$ = freeshipping and u have a Cold Cathode

or u could buy fan..

Edit: I checked for shipping on the 800d it was 48$

I am thinking about the 800D as it does look really slick and i am building a new system that will be water cooled so it seems the case for me.

Haven't seen many mods on it though only one i have come across is taking out the bays at the bottom of the case to make room for a 240 Rad
