Overview

 
The left side panel features a huge window made in plexyglass. In the bottom right corner there is space for three 3.5 inch drives, which have to be mounted on carriages which need to be slided in place afterwards. Right above the drive bays, you can find some free space as well as a 120 millimeter fan, which makes sure, that you can install even oversized graphics cards and that they also get plenty of fresh air. Again, a bit closer to the top there are two 5.25 inch bays which are totally tool-less. A closer look at the bottom left corner reveals the location for the ATX power supply. The bottom of this case has a dust filter, which makes sure, the PSU and the lower fan stay dust-free. Above the power supply you can find another 120 millimeter fan as well as space for an ATX motherboard. On the top you can mount a 240 or a 280 millimeter radiator or two 120 or 140 millimeter fans. When compared to the older model which we previously reviewed, the Obsidian 350D, there are a few differences: first of all, the space for HDD / SSD is placed in different area while the dust filters are larger in size.

We decided to equip this case with a Corsair H100i all-in-on cooler, which fits perfectly. Once we have assembled all the hardware in place, you can see that this case offers a good internal space, even for high-end components. Installing a dual radiator in the top as well as huge graphics card was not a problem at all.
