    CORSAIR Obsidian 500D RGB SE Mid-Tower Case, 3 RGB Fans, Smoked Tempered Glass, Aluminum Trim - Integrated Commander PRO Fan and Lighting Controller

    • Ultimately, the 7000 was too expensive and the 5810 didn't have enough hard drive bays
    • The top optical drive bays are not removable, if you don't plan on using them it is wasted space in the case
    • Removable HDD/SDD bays are easy to remove and add back in
    • One of the hard drive bays was bent and installed incorrectly, as a result the hard drive bay scratched the plastic window during shipment and now has a ton of scratches in front of the hard drive bays and is kind of annoying
    • I use SSD slots on the wire side and removed the hard drive bays to allow for better air flow.
    • Side panels come off and on easyCons:- May be hard to fit a 120+120 CPU cooler on front fans?- Hard drive bay housing seemed a bit flimsy
    • This case has a unique way to rig your SSD's they can be placed vertically on the back side of the case, so they are visible, but the cable management is hidden, and you don't have to waste a drive bay to install a drive.
    • Slide and stack bays are cheap and subject to vibration.
    • I work both for Amazon, and my own enterprises from this office, so a noisy computer just will not work.- The 3.5" hard drive bays are a con
    • The hard drive bays are removable and stack-able
    • Rivets hold two sides of the bay, but I had to perform surgery to sever the bay from the rest of the case's metal up front
    • Pros:- Large enough to house my mobo and R9 390 without any issues- excellent bays for SSD & HDD.- good
    • SSD clips and hard drive bays are flimsy thin screw stripping soft sheet metal.
    • It has 6 hard drive bays and an additional 4 or 5 SSD bays that don't require special mounting
    • Only drawback is the 5.25 bays look weird if you decide to occupy them with anything.
    • I opted to stack both bays and secure them on the front
    • Ultimately, the 7000 was too expensive and the 5810 didn't have enough hard drive bays
    • Just get rid of the hard drive bays using a screwdriver if you don't need them
    • The hard drive bays are easily configured to each person's build style or requirements
    • Front 5.25" bays look odd (not horrible, just odd) when populated since the cover plate is removed and the ODD or other does not sit flush with the remaining cover plates
    • Awesome drive bays
    • love the clips for all the HDD's, love the clip side bays for my SSD boot drive, love the finger tight/loose screws for securing component cards and the case side covers, love the clips that keep the front I/O drives in place.
    • The additional 3.5/2.5 hard drive bays were awesome as well and easily configurable from 0 to 3 or 6 if you choose
    • Front 5.25" bays look odd (not horrible, just odd) when populated since the cover plate is removed and the ODD or other does not sit flush with the remaining cover plates
    • the case that I received had bent hard drive bays and the entire back plate was bent away from the interior of the case which made it impossible to line up the components in the PCI slots (Graphics card, network adapter)
    • Will be doing some custom work to it eventually, but it looks so good as
    • That thing is a pain to clean as it takes multiple wipes in order to get a small smudge off
    • This case really did not impress me as much as i thought it would
