Corsair Obsidian 350D mATX Black Window Gaming Case 2X5.25 2X3.5 2X2.5 Front USB3.0 Audio No PSU
Cons:USB front panel does not work. Rear fan has no filters.
Pros:Beautifully designed, lots of room for cable management. Very easy to build. Lots of room for fans. No window fan slot to ruin the look. Comment:
This case is designed very well. IMO the best case I have ever seen and worked with. I always wanted a good looking case without a fan slot on the window, as it makes the case look ugly.First being a minor issue, I installed an H60, and thought I'd have it exhaust out the back (because theres no filters, I didn't want dust to get pushed in). Unfortunately, those types of coolers have to be intake (when I had it as exhaust, it was idling high 30's and full load would reach mid 80's, but after changing it to the recommended intake config, idle temps went to high 20's and 65 max on full load on an i7 4770). I will buy air filters for the back intake now.Second is a major issue. The front panel USB 3.0 does not work properly. They disconnect and reconnect external hard drives constantly. When I plug in the device on the back panel, it works flawlessly. Corsair has yet to reply to my support ticket (over a week). I use to hold their customer service in high regards, might give them a call tomorrow and be more direct.Overall happy with the case, minus the USB front panel issues.--update: Called Corsair and within 5 minutes of speaking with a live person, and very few questions asked, they are sending me a replacement part. Corsair customer service is as good as I knew it 3 years ago. Up rating to 4 stars, we'll see if the replacement part actually fixes the issue. This review was modfied by poster @ 10-01-13 10:40 PM |

Cons:front panel door is easy to accidentally remove
Pros:Excellent cable management options, elegant design, one of the best cases I ever used Comment:
I chose this case to build a mini version of this year's dream PC. Used a maximus v gene motherboard and built around that. Also used an H100i and everything fit perfectly. Highly recommended. |

Corsair Obsidian 350D mATX Black Window Gaming Case 2X5.25 2X3.5 2X2.5 Front USB3.0 Audio No PSU
Cons:-(if you really care about symmetry) power button has 2 led, one for for power and other for harddrive activity led. The latter is usually off (unless hard drive doing something).- for m-atx motherboards (asus gene VI),found SATA cables need to make really tight bend to fit through cable management cut-outs to connect with motherboard SATA ports.-must install a thin rad (on the top) with push or pull configuration for the fans.-could have included more than 4 zip ties.
Pros:-simple and clean design-white led for power, and harddrive activity.-side panel window is tinted.-side panels very easy to install and remove.-cable management was fairly easy-after fitting custom loop, the inside of the case is a bit cramped, but still looks tidy. -very light (weight) Comment:
coming from cooler master ATCS 840, corsair 350D was easy and very enjoyable to build a pc in. The only real con is the cable management cut-out for the SATA, extremely close to the SATA port on the Asus motherboard (m-atx). The SATA cable has to make a very tight bend in-order to fit through cable management cut-outs. |

Corsair Obsidian 350D mATX Black Window Gaming Case 2X5.25 2X3.5 2X2.5 Front USB3.0 Audio No PSU
Cons:A bit bigger than I expected and compared to other matx cases
Pros:Sleek and elegant, plenty of room to work with inside with cabling, solid construction, gorgeous windowed side panel Comment:
A solidly constructed case in matx form factor. Although it's a bit bigger than other matx cases, it allows for plenty of room to work with inside when installing your parts and routing cables in the back. Installation was a breeze and even supports radiators for water cooling.Aesthetics are absolutely gorgeous with the brushed aluminum front, and the huge windowed side panel. Very worthy of the Obsidian brand of cases from Corsair |

Cons:It was hard to find a con, but the front panel looks a bit odd with an optical drive installed. But who uses those anyways, right?

I don't ever get excited about a chassis, but the 350D has blown me away. There are so many things done right, I can't really find anything to complain about.For mATX builds I typically grab the Fractal Design Arc Mini. While the Arc Mini is a fantastic case, it's 20lbs. I take my PC to LAN events on occasion and it can be a bit of a pain to lug around. The 350D is a whopping 33% lighter than the Arc Mini. That may not sound like a big deal but we're talking 7lbs difference. When you're carrying your PC around, that makes a huge difference.It'll also support a GPU with a max length of 380mm, a 180mm PSU and a 160mm CPU cooler. (Yes, it should fit the Hyper 212 Evo/Plus)I just can't say enough good about the 350D. Corsair has really made an excellent product here, I'll be using this as my standard mATX chassis for builds until something better comes along, which probably won't be for a while. Don't hesitate to pick up the 350D, it's a real winner. |
Built my ROG dream machine in this case. Black and red, using Corsair fans, H100i, ASUS motherboard and video card. It's just perfect. Small enough to sit on my desk, yet big enough for AIO coolers and 2-card SLI.I could not have asked for a better case. Cable management rocks here.When shopping, I was comparing it to the Fractal Design Define Mini and Arc Mini R2, along with the Bitfenix Phenom M and Prodigy M. I made the right choice, despite my last 2 builds being in Fractal Design cases.With the H100i installed, the top 5.25" bay would be useless for a drive, but okay for a fan controller. I wouldn't put anything in the 5.25" bays anyway, as it really ruins the look of the front of the case.Replace the stock fans - I chose Corsair AF 120 Quiet for the rear and 2x Corsair AF 140 Quiets for the front. Also, I put the H100i with fans running pull into the case. All air is exhausted quickly through the back and it stays dust-free thanks to positive pressure.
