The Obsidian Series gets a little brother

The Corsair Obsidian Series 650D is a smaller and less expensive version of the 700D/800D cases that we have come to love. Does the new feature set stand up to previous cases though?

Corsair has had a good run as of late with a host of new products that fall WELL outside the original memory vendor stereotype.  I mean, seriously?  We have had cases like the Obsidian 800D, power supplies like the HX1000W, headphones and speakers like the HS1A and the SP2500 and of course the water coolers in the vein of the H50.  The list goes on but Corsair has obviously done a tremendous job of expanding a roadmap to stay relevant and among the most cutting edge enthusiast companies on the map.

Today we are going to take a look at the Corsair Obsidian Series 650D chassis, a case that follows in the footsteps of the popular (but expensive) 800D and 700D options but lowers the price, and the height, quite a bit.

Priced at $199 on Newegg as of this publication, it is hard to not see the 650D from Corsair as a bit overpriced, but the design quality, build quality and unique features seem to counter our initial impressions in that regard.
