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

    • The design is great and has many useful features
    • The design they use is genius
    • Love the large design, huge window, and boat load of extra scews and upgrade potential.
    • I adore the design, from the simplicity and elegance of the rectangular, black frame, to the usefulness of the magnetic dust-filters
    • To me this is just bad design on corsairs part
    • Removing the CD drive panels for a CD Drive ruins the sleek design
    • It lacks the more garish design aesthetics I’ve seen on other cases, which you may appreciate (or not) depending on your own tastes
    • Has more than enough room and a very sleek/clean design to it.
    • Nice design, beautifully crafted.
    • After buying it and observing all these flaws, I also took a closer look at the cases we already have at work and noticed they also vibrate while in operation, which came as no surprise given the poor design.
    • It's a terrible design, especially since this makes the panel entirely dependent on the strength of the glue, instead of the screws
    • Would have given 5 stars except for poor front filter design, I expected more from this manufacturer for the money I spent
    • The case is also an upgrade in appearance from my previous case as I've kind of grown out of my desire to have a PC that looks like it was designed for 80s era sci-fi
    • The MB installation required that I remove the back fan to mount it; not very good design but not insurmountable
    • Oversized feet to keep the base off the carpetCon:Window is a fairly soft plastic subject to easy scuffingBottom line:If you want more space and you like an understated very functional design that will fit in almost any decor this is your tower.
    • Completely subjective, but it has great aesthetics if you like clean cut lines and that sort of modern design it's got going for it
    • So that's not lack of space, that's just poor design
    • Comes with filters, fans and incredible designs for screws/etc
    • This is actually a very well designed case, with carefully thought out arrangements for... everything
    • I wish there was room for a single optical bay, but hey, with the easy open design, you could actually put an external USB one inside the case
    • It seems to be of good design, large enough for good airflow/pressure.
    • Design is very stylish, easy to clean filters, everything is well thought-out
    • Bad design and hardware issues, so a lot of modifying to get it up to snuff.
    • It is designed for those that want a great looking, well designed, gaming desktop case that makes building your dream machine easy & neat
    • Also the modular design makes swapping parts super easy.
    • Pros: Plenty of room, classy design, features out the wazoo
    • As expected from Corsair at this point, the product is very well designed both in form and function.
    • Beautiful, clean design.
    • And, cable routing on this case is made very easy by some simple design elements like the way the sheets of metal are shaped at just the right places
    • Clean design
    • benchmarking!The frame is solid and well designed and looks good!The 2.5" drive mounts are a nice thing to have!
    • This case has tons of room for customization, great airflow, and a sleek, minimalist design
    • Removing the CD drive panels for a CD Drive ruins the sleek design
    • I like how spacious it is and the design for better airflow
    • Bad design and hardware issues, so a lot of modifying to get it up to snuff.
    • Great design choice there
    • My only issue is the flimsy design it has or feels like
    • Very well designed for a water-cooled system with stellar air flow.
    • I prefer this hinged design much more than the bolted on design of the 570x case
    • great looking case, easy to work with not only because of the size but because of the wonderful design
    • Purchased this case for my PC build, and I absolutely love the design of the case
    • Corsair uses a "Tool-free" design and the clasps to slide the drive bays in and out feel like they could easily bend or break if you aren't careful
    • Absolutely fantastic, brilliant design
    • It really is well designed.
    • High quality case but designed for high airflow not low noise
    • The case has a nice and sleek design
    • I also like it's sleek design and the fact that is made mostly of steel and aluminum and no plastic.
    • It's a simple sleek design and has a nice big window to show off your build
    • but it has a critical design flaw that I couldn't overcome
    • Excellent air flow, cable management, and well designed.
    • well I unboxed it and as soon as I took the case out you can see it and for a guy who likes
