Obsidian 650D pics

Recommended Posts

First impressions are good. It seems like a solid case with a high build quality. It comes apart to a point, but there are a lot of rivets. I expected it to be big and it is.

 

 

Enjoy:

Hey Faulkton -

 

Thanks for getting pics up so fast.

Any chance you could take a few more please?

 

I want to buy this case to mod it, but need to make sure it will work which is why I ask.

 

A shot of the underside of the case would be cool

One of the back (cable routing side) with a ruler to show depth

If you could either state or show a pic giving the distance from the inside top of case to the top mobo stand

What is the thickness of the removable front grill.

 

Thanks in advance!

Thank so very much!!!!

I have already updated my cad model based on your first set of photos and these additional ones will really help.

 

Since I will have to wait until at least 4-1-2011 to order it will be some time before my mod is done. I will post some pics then.

 

I still can't believe you snagged one. Good job.

 

Enjoy this case and thanks again!!!:biggrin:

any reason why you took out the large 200mm fan from front and replaced it with thermalright fan? if you can fit 2 sure why not but still 1 large fan = silent and more cfm

 

because the tr fan was thicker and i wondered if it would fit or not. the tr fan is L160mm x H140mm x W26.5mm and it's probably about as wide of a fan as will fit in the space down there. it was just for a minute.

It looks like with the aircages removed or repositioned even a 30mm fan can be used as an intake. I plan removing both cages since am running just SSDs but I am gonna give the Corsair fans a chance, see how they work out. Two megaflows ready to go if need be, but the Corsair fans look so nice! Can't wait until faulkton powers this baby up for the very first time!;)

What is that base thing underneath the air cages? Can it also be removed??? I tried to add this on to the other question but this page won't let me edit, it won't load up completely due to the amazing photos, at least on an iPhone! The real question before us today seems to be can a man survive for three days soley on Corsair components, chicken wings and fosters lager with little or no sleep? Not sure but I'm gonna give it a try come April!;)

what kind of stuff are you going be putting in this case ?

 

So far i have bought:

 

2600k

thermalright silver arrow

eVGA 570 w/backplate

8g Corsair XMS

intel 510 120g ssd

2tb sata3 deskstar hdd

ax850

asus DVD

 

I'm thinking i will pick up another 570 for SLI.

 

I had an open box p8p67 EVO board ordered but newegg recalled the shipment.. really bummed me out :(

 

All i need is a board and i'll build.

I just got back from Cebit and had a little glance at this case there but your photos are really helping with the details, so thanks!

 

What sucks about this is my dealer has just set the delivery date from today to end of month :greencry:

Don't think I would have gone with Intel this time around for the SSD! I love my X-25M but this time I am going with Corsair the new Force GT SSDs they are debuting at Cebit this week using the SandForce SF-2200 controller with 500/500 read/writes and Trim support!!! Intel's latest offering uses a Marvell controller. When Intel who put SSDs on the map, has to use a 3rd party controller and still can't reach 500/500 somethings wrong. SandForce is just a little company in CA with 83 employees but they are rockin' the ssd market right now! Also are you able to run the silver arrow with no fans attached? I heard the 2600K is SuperFast! Always interesting to see someones hardware choices!;)

I'm tempted to go with the 650D for a smallish dual loop WC setup but I really need to fit a 360 and 240 rad instead of 2 x 240's... 800D it is, shame, the 650D looks like an awesome case. I just wish Corsair would bring out the 800D V2 to fix the current 800D airflow problems and lack of bottom rad mounting support.
