Corsair Obsidian Series 650D Black Computer Case w/Side Panel Window
Cons:The fan controller broke on me. I've been contacting Corsair's tech support but its terrible. No help at all. I've heard other people having the same issue so I know I'm not alone on this issue.The plastic window on the side will collect a lot of dust.No place for side exhaust fans. Stock fans are low CFM.

Pros:Functionally okay. Except BROKEN FAN POWER & CONTROLLER !
Comment:
-Terrible Tech Support-Fan controller is cheap and will break in 30-120 days-Expect to be put through hoops to get it fixed + $$$-NCIX Refused RMA because its been more then 30 days-NCIX has not helped resolve issue

Corsair Obsidian Series 650D Black Computer Case w/Side Panel Window
Cons:The USB3.0 front outlets do not plug directly to the USB 3.0 mobo header, they have to be run out the backside of the case and plugged into 2 3.0ports

Pros:Stylish case without being gaudy or tackyLove how the side panels attach, pull 2 latches and its off.The cable management is simply amazing. The is no excuse to not have a tidy build in this enclosure.It is rather big for a mid tower.No sharp edges on this case, and my hands had no nicks or cuts from assembly
Comment:
If you're looking for a stylish, functional and well constructed case. The 650D fits the bill. Working inside this case was enjoyable. Next build, I'm going with Corsair again.

Corsair Obsidian Series 650D Black Computer Case w/Side Panel Window
Cons:-Side panels might be c

Pros:-lost of room-Everything is Black-Mod friendly-fan filters-200mm fan mounts and 240mm radiator support
Comment:
I am very happy with this case. It's very Attractive yet simple. Has more room than my CM 690 since it is wider and much taller. Since it doesn't have a fancy top panel I can mount fans on the outside if needed without modifying the case.The one issue i can see with this case is the back panel. since it has a convenient design with the 2 latches on top, What it lacks is the tabs on the left and right side. this causes the panel to bulge out slightly (barely noticeable) when cables aren't managed well behind it. I feel that only the showcase panel should have easy access and the other have more security

Corsair Obsidian Series 650D Black Computer Case w/Side Panel Window
Cons:- I find the 2 big whole to remove the side pannel to be really ugly. I wonder why they didn't do like on the 800D, much more subtle.- Expensive at regular price.

Pros:- USB3.0 at the front which my Corsair 800D doesn't have because it's older.- Best case in my opinion in the 150$ range for a medium sized tower.
Comment:
It's basicly a 800D but much more affordable and smaller but still long enough so you could fit the longest video card possible. I got it for 149.69$ so it was totaly worth it for the build of my cosin. I told him to get this case as I love my 800D. Imo Corsair is the best when it come to Keyboards, Case and Flash Drives.

Corsair Obsidian Series 650D Black Computer Case w/Side Panel Window
Cons:The weight might be a con for some. Not the best airflow for overclockers.

Pros:High quality construction, great look, lots of space, great features.
Comment:
I took a lot of time before I decided to choose this case and I don't regreat it. It sure doesn't have the best airflow out of the box but it is more than enough for a standard build with a single GPU and no overclock. I love the fact that there's a lot of space so when time comes for me to OC I have the room to install water cooling and/or go SLI.Visually I love the simple, robust metal frame all black. The front ports and reset buttons plus the 2,5 inches drive bay and fans controller are hidden behind panels so it doesn't compromise the shape of this monolith.The side panels are easily removable with the push of 2 switches so it's easy to do whatever you need to do in the chassis like adding a hard drive, which also has a screwless system.Also the dust filters are welcome.

Corsair Obsidian Series 650D Black Computer Case w/Side Panel Window
Cons:- Front cannot handle 2 x 120mm fans- No Mobo USB3.0 Headers must connect to the rear

Pros:- Build Quality- Cable Management- Lots of space to work inside the case- HDD SATA Dock station- HDD tray removable for extra-length video cards- No screws for side panels
Comment:
I am coming from a ANTEC 902 and I confirm that if you were like me and though (or think) Antec is a good case... well it's not the case. Corsair is way way better and quality is amazing. I will never return to Antec ever and I'm sold to Corsair now. This case is brilliant. Buy it now.

Corsair Obsidian Series 650D Black Computer Case w/Side Panel Window
Cons:-Size can be an issue with short PSU cables (plan ahead).-Brushed aluminum front plate can scratch easily. Not a problem if you're not reckless.-USB 3.0 cables need to run to back of case. Easy fix with a motherboard adapter.

Pros:-Spacious! Makes cable management a breeze!-Looks very professional. The brushed aluminum front plate is very pleasing.-Solid construction. Very high quality case.
Comment:
Corsair has once again impressed me with a quality product. The 650d looks very professional with its all black interior, aluminum side panels and brushed front plate. It has Plenty of room for all components while maintaining good airflow (I recommend replacing the front intake fan with different 200mm). If you're thinking of buying a Mid-Full size tower case the Obsidian 650d is well worth the price.

Cons:-no usb 3.0 for motherboard

Pros:-great design-slick and clean, not flashy-removable hard drive casings-big window on side-latches for side panels
Comment:
Great case. Does not include cables for your USB 3.0 mother board, but instead, provides USB 3.0 cables that can route to the back of the case to the rear I/O ports.Amazing corsair case, great if you want to mount H100 for push/pull config.

Corsair Obsidian Series 650D Black Computer Case w/Side Panel Window
Cons:- only 200mm fan can be mounted in front- noisy front fan when mounted flush to the front (makes whirring woooshing sound...a little fan mount modding improves this a lot!!!- USB 3.0 still plugs to the back...I plug them behind the mobo tray with the rest of the cables (removed the PCI bracket that came with the ASUS z68 pro)

Pros:- larger than average mid towers- hot swap bay- removable hdd racks- excellent cable management features- easy to open side panels- easy to remove front bezel- tool-less features
Comment:
After a little work on the CONs, this is a perfect case for me!

Pros:Great cable management,Roomy,Features
Comment:
Very nice looking case, got it today via UPS, the box had a large dent in it, and also the case had some small/medium dent in the top, and a couple of paint chips. Not really enough to send it back though. Besides the dents, I love the case, it's roomy, and flat black,very nice.

Corsair Obsidian Series 650D Black Computer Case w/Side Panel Window
Cons:I dont have any complaints about this case thus far. You wont regret this case.

Pros:Case has a very nice black finish to it, rubber grommets make wire-hiding look very nice. Case although it is a "mid-sized" case is fair big and will fit all your necessary components without and troubles. Tool free hard drive bays are a plus. Also what is huge is all of the Hard drive slots include four screw holes which you can easily toss in your SSD's without having to purchase adapters. Includes fan controller where you can hook up to 4 fans, this keeps your motherboard from getting cluttered with sysfan cables.
Comment:
I was debating between this and the Antec Twelve Hundred case. I thought this case did a better of keeping everything nice and neat. cable management is great. incredibly worth the investment if your looking for a case that has all the space you'll probably need and has nice airflow. Very clean and sleak. Highly recommended!

Corsair Obsidian Series 650D Black Computer Case w/Side Panel Window
Cons:5.25" bays are removable plates, not hide-away plates to keep consistent look. Fan controller a little dinky. Hard drives go to far back and can cause panel to bulge once the wires are there.

Pros:Great design, amazing tool free design, ultra quiet fans, color matching screws (all black)
Comment:
Amazing case, low noise from the fans. Tool free design makes for very fast access and modifications inside the case. However, I do wish the 5.25" bays were hide-away plates and not just removable plates that expose any 5.25" device installed. The hard drive cage also pushes the hard drives to far back and this can cause the panel to bulge when the SATA cables and SATA power cables are installed.Other than those two little issues, all around amazing case.

Corsair Obsidian Series 650D Black Computer Case w/Side Panel Window
Cons:-Many internal cables-No 3.0 USB mobo headers

Pros:-Great cable management-Lots of space for mid tower-Sleek finish-High quality polished besel-Quiet fans, discrete-CPU backplate cutout-Tool free HDD/DVD bays and side panels
Comment:
This is a solid case, I replaced my Antec 1200 with this as I felt the full tower was a bit excessive. I could not be happier with this product. The cable management is excellent and is very spacious, even for a cable management noob like myself. It is quiet and has a very simplistic look while providing a window to view your components. Only downside is the USB 3.0 connectors run out the back and connect to the mobo ports. It can house the biggest video cards since the HDD cages are removable.

Corsair Obsidian Series 650D Black Computer Case w/Side Panel Window
Cons:-USB 3.0 front header cable should have internal usb 3.0 connector for motherboard-Wish a brushed aluminum front bezel was included for drive bays

Pros:-Looks amazing-Cable management is very well thought out-Hot swap bay is nice-Front brushed aluminum cover looks great-USB 3.0-Dust filters all around-Can fit water cooling setup-Full black finish
Comment:
This is a very nice case, nice style inside and out. Lots of room for cables to make your system look nice. The fact that a custom water cooling loop can be installed is great. The case has good airflow keeping the internal temperature of the case low, as well as the components temperature. The side window is nice so that nothing is hidden.
