    News - Corsair Obsidian Series 700D chassis priced, heading to retail next month

    Corsair's second high-end chassis is ready to make its retail appearance, but don't expect massive savings compared to the fully-featured 800D.

    A saving of £22? That's pathetic

    Nonetheless, I'd pay £22 extra not to have the window...

    if nothing else, hopefully it will force the price of the Silverstone FT02 down.

    Re: News - Corsair Obsidian Series 700D chassis priced, heading to retail next month

    Actually, that's only £7 cheaper in my book, since the 800D was on special offer yesterday when I looked, down to £193. If this were priced nearer £150 it'd be a very viable option for those looking to watercool without spending silly money - that's then only ~£50 more than other mid-high-end cases, and probably worth it for convenience. At over £185, it's nearer double the cost of a decent case, and starts looking like a waste of money.

    I think they know that if it was a reasonable price no one would get the 800D.
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    They need a micro ATX version of this case IMO. I love the cable management but it is way too big for me.

    Closer to £150-£160 and this thing would sell like hotcakes. I would probably buy one.

    Doesn't offer enough to justify the price imo. These are economical times & the majority of people are shopping clever. There are just as well featured cases out there for less money.
