Corsair is a relatively new player in the case market as they’ve only been selling cases for about two years. But every case they’ve produced to date has been very well received by enthusiasts and most have won a number of prestigious awards. In f...

When I think of the Corsair Obsidian series, I am reminded of the massive full towers like the 700D and 800D that are immensely clean and perfect for watercooling, housing multiple video card setups, gigantic power supplies, and large hard drive array...

I'll start off by saying that, although the results from the testing aren't astonishing on the graphs themselves, this is only because of the small spreads of only a few degrees in each test. Even having one or two degrees difference, which isn't crit...

The 650D is the hybrid many have been waiting for. It combines the features of the 600T but adopts the professional, sleek styling of the 800D. The 650D is the first mid-tower inside the Obsidian series and offers this ‘fusion’ at a lower cost than bo...

Today we will be looking at the newest entry in the Obsidian range of cases from Corsair, the 650D. Unlike the 700D or the top of the range 800D, which are both full tower cases, the new 650D is a mid-tower case which should make it suitable for a larg...
With the 800D and 700D Corsair had set the bar exceedingly high and this newest entry into the Obsidian range certainly had a lot to live up to. So we were delighted to find that the high quality of the previous cases has been carried on with the 650D...

Just having finished looking at a couple of mid tower chassis', one from Cooler Master and one from IN WIN, I don't think the timing could have been better for me to look at the 650D. Each of the three have a very individual look, but the 650 has the...

Corsair pretty much stormed out of the gate when they entered the enclosure market, starting at the top with the Obsidian 800D and gradually working their way down, and each case has been well-received. Their first "budget" offering was still fairly...
I'm not particularly happy with the results of Corsair's Obsidian 650D. I love everything else about the case: I love how it looks, I love how easy it is to assemble, I love how feature rich it is, and I love how clean the installations are by virtue of C...

The Obsidian Series 650D mid-tower case is manufactured with strong, stamped steel parts for increased rigidity, and coated in a black textured paint. The front panel features a black brushed aluminum faceplate to bring a subtle elegance to your next...
The Corsair 650D was a pleasure to work with while reviewing it. The 650D oozes class with the brushed black exterior, which helps show the quality and pride Corsair takes in making their cases. The stealth I/O ports were a nice touch to help keep the...

During our recent gaming case roundup, we compared six unique enclosures spanning from BitFenix's $60 Shinobi mid-tower to the Cooler Master's $200 HAF X full-tower. Shortly after publishing that review, some of you were disappointed that we didn't inc...
Having inspected every nook and cranny of the Corsair Obsidian 650D, we have no doubt it's a high-quality product that shines in virtually every category. Perhaps the only true weakness of Corsair's new arrival is its price. At $190, we're inclined to...

A little over a year ago I had the opportunity to check out Corsair's first ever computer chassis, the Obsidian 800D. I expected something along the lines of a cheesy OEM rebrand, but was I ever wrong. In the conclusion to that review, I stated that th...
As I mentioned in the introduction to this review, the original Obsidian 800D is my all time favorite case. The only real issues with that chassis are its full size stature and the price tag. Not everyone has a use for a full size ATX case nor do the...

The Corsair Obsidian 650D is a very classy case, some people would even call it sexy, and even though it's a mid-tower, the interior is spacious enough to hold today's largest graphics cards and power supplies without having to remove one of the hard d...

The Obsidian 650D is Corsairs second attempt at a mid-tower case and the third case in the Obsidian line that started with the 800D almost two years ago. The 650D was created in response to the two biggest complaints about the 800D, which were price a...

The performance of a case is all about its cooling prowess and the noise it makes while doing so. The 650D is setup to keep every system but the most extreme overclockers cool using two 200mm fans and one 120mm fan. These together provide a total of o...

Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass and it is produced when the felsic lava from a volcano cools rapidly. So something so hot can be really cool looking, can we say that about the Obsidian 650D from Corsair? You should be able to make that...

I've been waiting for the Obsidian 650D for a good while now, and was really excited to get my hands on it. The idea was to get 800D quality and attention to detail at more reasonable size and price, and the 650D pulled it off just as I'd hoped. The c...

As hardware reviewers, it's our job to remain impartial about the products that we look at - but that doesn't mean we can't get friggin' excited! This is Techgage's resident case freak, about to have a look at the long-awaited Corsair Obsidian 650D mi...
For those of you with space constraints but want the look and quality of the Obsidian 800D, this is the case for you! Clearly, this is a well-thought-out case, so I'm not sure how the team missed the bottom hard drive tray being rendered useless when...

It's time to hit up another chassis review. Many of you guys were shocked and awed when Corsair released their first ever Obsidian 800D chassis. Many purchased it and then there is a residual group of you that would like to purchase it, yet face the...

The Corsair Obsidian 650D is a high-end mid-tower case. The main problem is its price. It is a very nice case, but we think that, for the average user, there are other options on the market with better cost/benefit ratios – including the Corsair Graphi...

There are some little things wrong with the Obsidian 650D case, as there are with most every case. But, there are a lot of big things right with this case. It's easy to get into. It has four USB ports on the front. It has a hot swap bay for hard drives...

About a year and a half ago, we got our hands dirty picking apart Corsair's first stab at the whole "computer case" thing: the Obsidian Series 800D. Then, last September, we brought in the newer and more affordable Graphite Series 600T for a similar run a...
A good way to describe Corsair's Obsidian Series 650D would be as a Graphite Series 600T wearing a tuxedo. Things are more or less the same under the hood, but the 650D replaces smooth curves with square edges and has no LEDs to draw attention to itself...
