Hochwertige Bauweise

Hinter dem vorderen Staubfilter verbirgt sich ein großer, schwarzer 200-mm-Eingangslüfter, durch den Ihre Festplatten und Grafikkarten mit einem gewaltigen Strom kalter Luft versorgt werden.

Der obere Lüfter kann durch zwei 120-mm- oder 140-mm-Lüfter ersetzt werden und bietet genügend Platz für zwei Kühler, wenn Sie eine Wasserkühlung einbauen möchten.
Alle Lüfter werden über einen Vierkanal-Lüfter-Controller mit drei Modi gesteuert, damit Sie eine individuelle Entscheidung zwischen Geräuschpegel und Leistung treffen können.

It currently has 5/5 Eggs on NewEgg, and should that not convince you then the 5/5 Eggs on the 800D with 294 reviews should, but if not still then maybe it's $10 MIR (good till 5/31/2011) can be it's saving grace."

"As is often the case with impressive products, the Corsair Obsidian 650D doesn’t come cheap. At a price of around £125 at YOYOTech we think it still offers great value for money but won’t be affordable for a lot of users. But for those who can find the cash, we would definitely recommend it, especially for those who want to use water cooling."

"They have not only managed to impress with the Graphite 600T (which is also available in white!), but have ported the great feature set found within that case and infused it into a new chassis worthy of the Obsidian name tag. The extra features, looks and quality give the Obsidian 650D plenty of unique aspects, while the shared use of the case internals should keep the price lower. For anyone eying with a 700D or 800D, but wanting something smaller, the Obsidian 650D is it."

Corsair 650D wims award at Hexus
"Despite being the smallest Obsidian Series chassis to date, the 650D has ample room to house a seriously high-end PC, cooling is well catered for through three pre-bundled fans and there's adequate room to install elaborate liquid coolers. Couple that with more cable routing options than you're ever likely to need, a hot-swappable SATA bay, integrated fan control and first-class build quality, and you're left with an impressive overall package." "Bottom line: the Obsidian Series 650D's spacious interior, solid build quality and abundance of features make it one of the very best mid-tower chassis on the market."

"Of course, opinions are subjective and every individual's take will differ, but the Obsidian series from Corsair is already a proven line and has many admirers. The Obsidian 650D is no exception and definitely has my vote for one of my top favorite cases that I've had the pleasure of using. Wire management has a solid design and it was very easy to use. This is the roomiest mid-tower I've ever used, though it is only about an inch and a half shorter than the HAF932, which is a full tower case."

Overclock Intelligence Agency approves the Obsidian 650D
"As of writing, the Corsair Obsidian 650D retails for $199.99 at Newegg ($189.99 currently after rebate). This is $79 cheaper than the 800D currently sells for. Don't get me wrong, $200 for a mid-tower case is still a lot of money, but this price point is fair considering the features and level of craftsmanship that accompanies this chassis. Simply put, if you want a premium mid-tower with a wealth of features, this is the one to get. If you need more space for additional hardware, the 800D is still my top choice for a desktop PC case."

650D wins the Editor's choice award at Metku.net
“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 case is significantly smaller and lighter, without losing too many features. For 4 hot-swap bays you'll still have to go for the 800D, but for the rest of us everything is still there. The layout of the 650D is my current favourite of all the cases I've reviewed. The Silverstone FT01 held this crown for a good while, but compared to that the 650D drops the positive pressure cooling, uses larger fans, has better cable management, clever HDD-cage and overall just that little bit more room.”

Corsair 650D wins the Gold Award and Performance Award at Hardware Heaven
“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. Summary Excellent build quality, great airflow, low noise, a spacious design and an ideal price point means the 650D is a great addition to Corsair’s Obsidian range.”

650D scores 9.3 out of 10 at Benchmark Reviews
"Overall my time spent with the 650D was wonderful. It was easy to work with, easy on the eye, and full of features that would be useful every time I needed to work on my system. Every person whom I have shown it to that currently owns the 800D says they wish that this was the size that the 800D had been. At the same time it is an expensive case and still very large especially for a "mid-tower" case. Non-the-less I would recommend the 650D to anyone who asked me about it, and if it were not for the fact that I love the Silverstone RV02 I currently use, I would be using it as my main case at this moment."

Obsidian 650D wins the "Best Features" award at TweakTown
" As much as I love what this case offers, how sleek and sexy it is, and the beautiful looking results, I think even I might pass at this pricing. Don't get me wrong; I really, really like this chassis. The only issue is how I recommend it over the previous two we have just seen at double the price"
