Corsair Obsidian Series 500D
Overall, enthusiasts shopping for a feature packed, attractive, builder-friendly case for an exceptionally quiet system build, will no doubt find the Corsair Obsidian 500D a viable option. Overclockers and performance enthusiast will need to factor in the cost of added fans and/or water cooling components to the price of their system build to compensate for lacking thermal performance. In the end, we believe this chassis would be a much better value in the $120 range.
