Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted October 1, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted October 1, 2009 Our Lab has spent some time and produced a Video on how to use the Obsidian 800D Case. Good information here and worth watching. ::pirate:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slamscaper Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I gotta wonder the same thing. Who's going to buy this massive case and install a tiny micro-ATX mobo into it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 for a sample video your not going to use a $ 400.00 mobo It's about the info not about the parts don't wine, watch ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterFazekas Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 The ASUS Rampage II Gene is micro-atx for one. If the hardware that you want/have happens to be smaller than average, that doesn't necessarily mean that you need to buy a small case for it. At one point i had to run a micro-atx rig in a Chieftec Bravo which is larger than the Obsidian. I dont see what's wierd about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slamscaper Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 for a sample video your not going to use a $ 400.00 mobo It's about the info not about the parts don't wine, watch ;) The Gene II micro-ATX mobo used in this demo is just as expensive as most upper-mid range ATX mobo's, so your argument really doesn't hold water. $400 USD mobo's are rare, there's only a scant few. When it comes to a demo video like this, care should be taken to simulate how the average user (at least the average "enthusiast" end-user) would go about installing their gear into the 800D. I'm sure that "most" enthusiast's will be installing standard ATX boards into the case, so it would only make sense to use one in the demo. Not that it's a big deal or anything, as the video is still informative and the same logic can be applied to install just about any mobo. Just a bit curious, that's all.

Zmurfen Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 This "videos" should be included the case package... Very nice and informative.... Thanx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aZmoDen Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 These videos are why i bought my obsidian, h50 and corsair ssd's in teh first place. I also had them open whilst i was building my case and seriously, THANK YOU! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwish68 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Nice video's. This might be my next case! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timciren Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 without watching the videos as I went, I would have struggled a few times, like how to release the front bezel and fill hot swap, so it was very useful, but does everyone have access to a pc while building ? But why not use a nice tidy modular PSU when the case is designed for one ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMAN69 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 If there are no plans to fix the broken links; then why have the thread at all, then newbs (like myself) wouldn't try to connect to a link that is " 404 " :confused: But; in any case, I found the YouTube video link for the Obsidian 800D build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistermister Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Do they show you how to arrange your PSU cables in the back so that your right side panel doesn't bulge out in the middle? I've worked on that for HOURS and still cant get rid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x509 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Lol.. and I though I was the only one. Me three! :(: So here is what I'm doing. (On a 700D.) I keep my system in between a desk and a two-drawer file cabinet. The file cabinet is on the right. So I positioned the case so it is pretty close to the cabinet. Then I put in some bunched up paper towels in between the right side of the case and the file cabinet, so that the case side is "pressed in" flat. I'm hoping that with the passage of time (:sigh!: ) the wires that are causing the bulge will take a "set" and no longer bulge. What do you guys all think? x509 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistermister Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I dont think that is going to work. The PSU cables dont have very much give in them so unless you have a very small bulge, this wont make a difference. Of course I may be wrong so there is nothing wrong with trying.

Trying something is better than doing nothing in this case. (Ouch. No pun intended!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mad_coder Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 To use USB 3.0 in front, the kit has us route usb cables to the rear input ports, making them unusable. Seems to me to be quite the kludge. My MOBO has an extra input (20-1 pin) for USB 3.0. Is there an adapter cable to route them to that input instead? Otherwise, I'm stuck with the ASUS solution, which uses a 3.5 bay front panel, which I'd need to adapt to a 5.25" bay, another kludge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spillertwo Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 You can get a special cable to fix that. Just go on google and look for this cable: Delock cable 82941 You can also find it here: http://www.delock.de/produkte/gruppen/Kabel/Delock_Kabel_USB_30_Pin_Header_Buchse_2_x_USB_30-A_Buchse_nebeneinander_82941.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
