  • The Obsidian 550D left us with a favorable impression of Corsair's ability to manufacture quality cases. The 550D design is well thought-out with good attention to detail. The overall build quality is appropriate for the price, with the exception of t...

  • Abstract:  We’ve been impressed with what we’ve seen recently from Corsair, and we were glad that the company saw fit to send us a couple more mid-tower cases to pore over and test: the Corsair Carbide 300R compact gaming chassis and the Obsidian 550D quiet case....

  • Despite being the first case tested under our new methodology, there's still a lot to process with the Corsair Obsidian 550D, both in terms of its design and in the data that results from it. By explicitly engineering their enclosure for silent running, C...

  • Door opens either to the left or to the right without any additional configuration or you can simply remove it, Meshes for optional top and left fans come closed with plastic lid and dampening foam, Air filters for the top, left, front, bottom, and power

  • The Corsair Obsidian 550D provides the best of both worlds. In its default configuration, it is a case targeted to silence, with only three fans and several features to reduce noise. However, if you want to improve cooling performance, you can, as this ca...

  • Push button side panel release. Sound dampening on almost every panel. Magnetic dust filters. Removable drive bays
  • Door can occasionally come completely off hinges rather than just opening
  • It's clear that a lot of thought went in to the Obsidian 550D. If your ultimate goal is quietness and you can get away with a mid-tower, definitely give this one a look....

  • Abstract:  With excellent build quality, enthusiast-focused features and plenty of expansion options, Corsair’s new 550D chassis personifies everything the Obsidian series is known for. But beneath its plain exterior lies one major departure from other products ...

  • Super quiet, Sturdy build with attention to exterior detail, Cools well considering lack of air holes and copious soundproofing....
  • Semidifficulty in accessing external drive bays, Slightly expensive....
  • Overall I’m pretty happy with the case. Not only did it surprise me with temperatures it was even quieter than I could have expected. It is simply a great case. It doesn’t scream, "look at my fancy case and my expensive or cheap hardware" – it’s subtl...

  • Excellent build quality, Spacious, neat internals, One button side panel removal, Quiet operation
  • Not hot swappable dock, Only two USB ports on the front I/O panel
  • Quality Comes at A PriceCorsair has a reputation amongst enthusiasts as a purveyor of premium, high-end components and their new Obsidian Series 550D mid-tower casing lives up to this billing. Aesthetically, we especially like the diamond-cut aluminum fro...

  • Corsair hat mit der Zuordnung des 550D in die Obsidian-Serie einen waghalsigen Schritt getan. Das 550D ist neben dem 650D das günstigste seiner Klasse. Es zeichnet sich durch ein Äußeres, das sich von den Übrigen der Serie doch sehr stark unterscheidet, u...
