We take a look at the NEW Obsidian Series 500D ATX mid-tower case from Corsair along with some ML Series RGB fans and the Commander Pro. The New 500D features smoked tempered glass side doors and premium aluminum trim that gives the 500D a new look and style. New features include tempered side panels that hinge open and installing fans and radiators is now easier with removable trays that can hold up to five 120mm fans or four 140mm fans. The backside of the Obsidian 500D brings you easy-to-use mounts for up to two 3.5in HDDs and three 2.5in SSDs and improved cable management to route and hide all your wires. Take a look at our video for a deep dive into the New Obsidian 500D ATX Mid Tower Case.
