I was in the same situation, was caseless since june 2017 waiting on the obsidian 1000d. I finally took thermaltake view 91. I think corsair won’t release either the 500d se nor the 1000d. One year later and no news, if they wanted to release it they would already done it. Either theres a problem with the yields of the front curved tempered glass and/or the cost doesn’t cover corsair profit. Anyways, don’t wait much longer, these will be abandonned.
