The editors didn't like
Kind of big for a MINI-ITX case
Mechanical hard drive can make a lot of noise
A better cover for storage bay would have been nice
All air intakes filtered, Most functional mini ITX case yet, Accommodates four drives, ATX power supply, and 5.25″ drive without requiring you to pick and choose which you want, Easy to build in
Flimsy latch mechanism for 5.25″ bay drive, No documentation on radiator mounting, Very large for a mini ITX case
On the box for the 250D, Corsair says “If you want to build a Mini ITX system without compromising expansion, flexibility, or performance, the Obsidian Series 250D is your answer.” And this is in fact true: you will not compromise expansion, flexibility, ...

All factors combined makes us think that the Obsidian 250D from Corsair is a very funky product. It looks really nice and comes with features that you typically only find starting at the more high-end mid-towers. Next to that the build quality is good as...

Corsair says, "if you want to build a Mini ITX system without sacrificing expansion, flexibility, or performance, the Obsidian Series 250D is your answer". Although that may be the case, the Obsidian 250D does sacrifice one thing: compactness. The volume...
The current trend of unleashing mITX cases onto the community is overwhelming. The Fractal Node 304 was a great example how it could be done, though it had one major setback and that was the omission of the optical drive in favor of more storage capac...
So here it is. Corsair's first stab at a Mini-ITX chassis—something cut from the same cloth as its other cases, but much more compact. It's a solid start, no doubt about it. The 250D combines small-form-factor dimensions with the amenities of larger encl...

If you want the full indepth nitty gritty on the 250D then you really need to watch the video above, due to our inability to shut up if we wrote everything down this review would be about 40 pages long and I doubt you'd get past page 3 eh boys ;)The 250D...
Corsair's past offerings have been very solid and the new Obsidian Series 250D - their very first Mini-ITX casing - follows in this tradition.It might not be the most stylish or eye-catching casing, but the Obsidian Series 250D has a pleasant design and c...
