Corsair Obsidian 500D: Premium aluminium and tempered glass gaming case


The Corsair Obsidian 500D mid-tower PC case features a premium design and premium materials. It combines elegance, simplicity and cooling performance. Made of aluminium and tempered glass, it is both attractive and robust. The side panels open easily to allow easy access to components. The unique design allows for perfect airflow for optimal cooling. Supplied with two 120mm fans, it has free slots for the addition of case fans or an All-In-One CPU watercooling system.


Corsair Obsidian range


The world-class Obsidian Series enclosures are made of hardened steel and brushed aluminum for exceptional durability and great looks. Their advanced features are designed with the sole purpose of meeting the needs of professional assemblers, high-end system integrators and performance fans. The construction is simple and efficient. And it offers space for virtually any configuration imaginable.


Tempered glass side panels


The side panels of the Corsair Obsidian 500D case are made of tempered glass. A light "smoke" tint has been applied to the side panels for a beautiful, elegant and unobtrusive effect. Both panels open to allow easy access to components and the core of the system. This allows for easy maintenance and servicing.


Optimal and scalable cooling


The Corsair Obsidian 500D comes standard with two 120mm fans: one intake fan at the front and one exhaust fan at the back. However, if you want to optimize the cooling performance of your machine and push your components to the limit, you have the option of adding additional fans at the front (supporting up to 3 120mm or 2 140mm fans) as well as at the top (up to 2 120 or 140mm fans). In addition, it is also possible to install an AIO watercooling system with a 240, 280 or 360 mm radiator.

    Almost perfect

    Good box, lacks a little space for power cables but otherwise close to perfection.

    A very nice case

    After much research and comparison I finally decided to go for this camera. Far from being disappointing, it is beautiful, practical and quiet. It is easy to handle inside. The 2 glass side doors, although beautiful, are a real plus and a real comfort for the assembly and disassembly.
    Once assembled it adds a touch of class to your set up! Thank you Corsair! And thank you LDLC for the VERY fast shipping!

    beautiful and practical

    This tower is very pretty and practical with the transparent panels that can be opened. They are closed by efficient magnets (this is rare enough to be highlighted).
    Beware that the tower is a little bit higher than average, depending on where you want to place it.

    PREMIUM quality from Corsair

    It is clearly a premium camera, among the whole market of cameras.

    Made of brushed aluminium and with tempered glass on the sides, the setup can only be beautiful.

    The housing itself is a cost, but the quality is there.

    I would almost say that you can go for it with your head down.

    Corsair Quality

    Replacing a Carbide 400C because it was too small, this Obsidian 500D is simply TOP.

    A really great design, not flashy but sober, no more plexiglass windows that are scratched after 2 cleanings, this is really glass and on the long term it's better.

    Inside it's really spacious, the space to work is very appreciable. Cable management is well thought out to have a minimum of visible cable :)

    Very good and beautiful product I recommend.

    I would recommend this product to anyone who wants to use it.

    Super

    Great box!

    So, I took this case for the design, but not only.

    The advantage that made me fall for this case is mainly the two side windows. The advantage that made me fall for this case is mainly the two side windows. Openable on the side (like a door), in tempered glass, tinted in black, which allows not only to have easy access to the components but especially to be able to pass a small blow quickly and easily to not have dust which spoils the rendering of your configuration!

    I had a case with a plastic side panel and what a pain ! Every day I had to wipe the side panel with a microfiber cloth to remove the dust that was accumulating...

    I attached the Corsair COMMANDER PRO + 4 Corsair HD120 fans (3 front 1 back) + 2 HD140 (on top) + 4 Corsair lighting NODE PRO LED strips.
    !! WARNING !!! I already had all this stuff before buying the case, and that's why I chose this version rather than the identical version but RGB (which is about 250€ or 100€ more but with 3 LL120 fans on the front + the Corsair COMMANDER PRO), which is more advantageous and which I advise if you don't have any stuff already ready.

    The + :

    The side windows, super practical if you are a maniac.
    The cable management, with a sheath for all the cables at the back, frankly super practical too.

    The -s :

    The price, a little abused for a box, compared to the same version with the pack LL120 + the corsair COMMANDER PRO (which is really worth the cost).

    The lack of rack space for storage (2 SSD racks and 2 HDD racks at the back only, that's more than enough for me, but it can be a problem if you have a lot of storage).

    I was looking for a case that was easy to maintain, and I found what I was looking for.
