Guys, build is finished, check the pictures in first post (sorry can't turn them right...:/

I can tell you what is going on ! As you know the same thing happened with the 1000D. Corsair had problem with the curved tempered glass front, so they released the case with flat front glass instead. They have the same problem with the 500D SE. In my opinion, they will be no SE version, because they can't mass produce curved TG. And they can't do the same treatement as the 1000D, because that would be considered as a crystal 570x with the flat front glass. Only option corsair have is to used curved acrylic instead, but that would look very cheap, compared to TG. Unless they come with a solution to produce the curved TG, my opinion is there will be no SE version.

Hey guys, updated the project :)

Hey guys, As an early "moaner" and requester of this case, Corsair finally heard our prayers :D I'm going to update this rig build. Here is the configuration : Aorus X299 Gaming 7 Intel I9 7900X 64gb Corsair Vengeance RGB, 8x Sticks GTX 1080 - temporary, waiting on the 1180, for a SLI. LEPA 1700 Watts PSU 500GB Samsung 960 M2 SSD 500GB Sata Corsair force LE200 SSD 4TB WD Gold HDD Full Corsair HD 120 Setup 3x Commander Pro Sleeved Cables from Bitfenix Full Custom Watercooling Loops 2x 480 MM monsta Rads from Alphacool 1X 360mm Monsta Rad from Alphacool 2x D5 pump/combo RES, with 250mm reservoir, RGB Hardline Watercooling PETG EK HD Full EK Fittings EK Supremacy EVO Nickel EK FC1080 Waterblock Nickel EK 1080 GTX Nickel Backplate I'm going to USE the Slate, for Ionly one system, and fully fill it up hopefully ! BUILD IS FINISHED ! ------------------------------------ PSU shroud has been Modified to insert RGB Corsair LOGO ---------------------------------------------------------- http://i66.tinypic.com/67uxp0.jpg UPDATE----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Got the first Case here in France :D. Absolutely monstrous ! I began to mount the first watercooling elements i had in stock, so 7 Corsair HD120 and 1 Alphacool Monsta Rad 360mm for the top, in push pull. First problem, the obsidian comes with a 3x140mm fan tray at the top, and i only want 120mm rads, and the tray is not yet avaible. I had to modify the original tray to mount a 4x120mm, quite a tricky work, but it worked and i think it is a clean job after all. Here you got the first pictures. Cable management will be very hard, with the 24 rgb Fans, I have to have 4 commanders pro. Waiting Now for the 60mm front Rads and the "last" 15 HD120 RGB Fans, Watercooling fittings, PCIe Riser. In the end, i want to base my build on Corsair Original Concept Slate, but with thicker rads, Dual Loops, SLI, and X299, like that :

I know man, i was waiting for the 1000D, as you said no news from corsair, no announcement, no ETA, and -as it is corsair-, no answer of course, because it's not announced. Just bought a View91 from Thermaltake. At least they did announce a release date since the beginning and they stuck with it. Corsair did really take a bad practice. :!:
