Corsair Obsidian 800D

She has gotten pretty loose for me :D
 
I picked up mine locally at MicroCenter for $240 :)
 
I’ve replaced all stock case fans now I can say I love this case. If I didn’t already have a HAF 932 for myself, I would buy an 800D for my house. Cable management options are great for OCD people like me!
 
Those ceiling fans, are they 120mm or 140mm? Also are all the fans 120mm or are there a couple 140mm/something smaller? (yell at me if I simply missed something about this in the review haha)

EDIT: Okay, what I meant was the ceiling vents which allow for fans to be mounted, I've seen in other pics that there's obviously fan mounting holes there, so what I'm wondering is whether or not they're 120mm or 140mm.

Otherwise I'm ordering mine later this week lol.

What ceiling fans? No ceiling fans come with the 800D. I'm playing dumb, but come on... you can ask a better question. Here... Let's see if this works.

::Intense chanting::

Oh mighty gods of TPU, I thought of reading the full review of the 800D, but instead I decided to skip to the forum feedback and see how the community reacted to this product. Do not hate me, for I will buy the product based on the positive user response, but I have doubts and silly quandries. My most puzzling doubt is about the case-top fan mounting. At the spot which can be mounted fans and perhaps a tripple radiator is there by chance 120mm or 140mm fan mountings? Which other areas of the case support 120mm fans and which areas support 140mm fans? Thanks again oh mighty and benevolent lords of TPU!

Fucking LOL. Okay, what I meant was the ceiling vents which allow for fans to be mounted, I've seen in other pics that there's obviously fan mounting holes there, so what I'm wondering is whether or not they're 120mm or 140mm.
 
They're 120mm. There is a 140mm fan mounted above the PSU bay for intake, one at the back of the case for exhaust, and another mounted to the side of the hot swap bay for intake.

120 at the bottom of the racks if you add it;)
 
And incase anyone wants to know there is 15mm spacing between the 120mm fan screws.

NOT ALL 120.3 rads will fit!

only the MONSTA won't fit now. Thermochill revised their PA 120.3s.
 
AM I stupid? It's a great looking case - yes, but where's the air INTAKES? from what I can see it's got no way for air to come in from the front...

Obscene at this price that you have to pay for a non-windowed side panel. No 3.5" bays - so am I the only one using a card reader? No external SATA...

At least there are no blue fans! But for the money every fan hole should be filled and a fan controller built into the case.

(I must stop moaning...)
 
ok - I AM stupid

OK - so it's got three air intakes at the bottom - of which 1 is dedicated to the PSU and no fans... would love to see some temps on this
 
would love to see some temps on this

+1. Anyone who's got an Obsidian care to take some and post them up? Man I love that name :laugh:
