CORSAIR Obsidian 500D Review
Packaging & Contents »Introduction
I would like to thank CORSAIR for supplying the review sample.
We are reviewing the CORSAIR Obsidian 500D today. Having spotted it at CES earlier this year, we are eager to dive right in. While it may sit right between the 450D and 550D in the Obsidian line-up, both of those are quite old, which makes the 500D quite the different beast in comparison.
