Great Case

Corsair Obsidian Series 700D CC700D Black Aluminum / Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case
Corsair Obsidian Series 700D CC700D Black Aluminum / Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: I love the open space, cable management system (rubber grommets) and drive trays. I love that I can put the mother board in and tighten it down before adding the CPU cooler given the latch door under the mother board flooring. Absolutely the cleanest build I have ever done.

Cons: I couldn't easily mount a 2.5" SSD drive in the 3.5" bays as the SATA connecter was blocked by the case build wall, but I put the SSD drive in a 3.5" then into a 5.25" bay. I then mounted this under the DVD player. This was a complete work-around, but it sufficed. Also, there is no plate for exposing an external 3.5" device like a card reader. So I spent another $15 on an external reader.

Overall Review: I would absolutely recommend this case and already have. I love it and the deficiencies are few and far between. You will need a PSU with long CPU power cables though if you want to keep the wiring clean. I have a 700w RaidMax and had to use extenders. Every other cable worked just fine.
