Corsair Obsidian Series 650D Case Review

Conclusions

The Corsair Obsidian 650D is a high-end mid-tower case. The main problem is its price. It is a very nice case, but we think that, for the average user, there are other options on the market with better cost/benefit ratios – including the Corsair Graphite Series 600T.
