Introduction

I would like to thank Corsair for supplying the review sample.


We are taking a look at the Corsair Obsidian 450D today, which expands upon the already fairly large Obsidian line of cases. Going from the top, there is the 900D, 800D, 750D, 650D, 550D, 350D, 250D, and now the 450D. Seems as though a case with a four was missing, which makes me wonder if there will ever be a 150D – NUC case anyone? That said, with its MSRP of 120 US dollars, the 450D fits right in.

Specifications

Packaging

Like all Corsair cases of late, the Obsidian 450D ships in a plain cardboard box, with a picture of the chassis on the front. Turn the package around and you will come across a blow-up diagram of the chassis. Both side panels feature a detailed specifications list and some carrying holes.


The case itself is secured inside the box by two sturdy Styrofoam spacers, and a plastic bag has been placed over the case to protect it from fingerprints and scratches.
