Corsair, a designer and supplier of high-performance components to the PC hardware market, today announced the immediate availability of the Obsidian Series450D performance mid-tower PC case. The 450D matches the iconic, brushed aluminum design of the Obsidian series with an increased focus on high-airflow, ensuring your system not only looks great, but runs cool.

Behind the 450D's aluminum mesh intake grill are dual 140mm AF140L intake fans to direct airflow straight to a PC's hottest component, the graphics card. The rear AF120L 120mm fan keeps the airflow moving smoothly and five other optional fan locations give you serious cooling flexibility. The 450D's fan mounts also accommodate a wide range of water-cooling radiators, with room for up to a 360mm radiator in the roof, a 280mm radiator in the front, and a 240 mm radiator in the floor.



The 450D also boasts all of the features that make the Obsidian Series a favorite among enthusiasts around the world. Easily accessible dust filters on the roof, front, and bottom ensure your system will stay looking its best, while modular tool-free 3.5"/2.5" hard disk mounts offer a wide range of storage options, or can be removed entirely to prioritize airflow.

"From day one, our Obsidian Series has made our case lineup a force to be reckoned with." said George Makris, Product Manager at Corsair. "With Obsidian 450D we've now added a mid-tower case that has outstanding air cooling capabilities, but can house lots of water cooling parts, too."

So. Cal.
Have to check the review. The first thing I Like in the front facing I/O port so many are moving that to the top. What I don't care for is that top grill, the punched perforation and having all the mounting screw visible and the way it looks has it like any other cheap box. They should have a matching perforated panel as the front that covers that and make it all smooth.

Edit: Ok looks like the pictures here don't have the magnetic flex filter panel that sits on top. Still would like to have seen a ridged panel with matching punched perforation that has the filter between. Actually then not have the punched perforation where the fan/rad mounts just big openings.

I would rather pay $40 more to get a full-featured and more spacious 750D instead.
