.... And what a massive disappointment it turned out to be. For $300+, I was expecting something sturdy and modular and what I got was something that was built by someone who didn't know jack squat from head to ass.

What the hell, man? The side panels for the fans wouldn't stay shut though one of the magnetic fan filters would stick while the other didn't.

I cannot imagine what the rest of the case was but the drive cages were garbage, and the side panel (window) was flimsy beyond what I had expected.

I could go on but I don't own this exact case. Though I will be getting my friend to return it. Maybe I could sway him to the HAF Stacker for now?

I have a Case Labs ST10. Worth every penny.

Could you please explain to the class the difference between a Jack Squat and a Head To Ass?

I had to look up what the heck this was, thinking it was some kind of fancy tankless air compressor for the garage.

I've never really been a fan of Corsair cases. In fact, cases more than $60 shipped are a hard sell for me. Especially ones in the size range of the Obsidian. What on earth does the case need to be so large for? I work at a computer shop, and I really do "specialize" in making a silent computer, so I know cooling incredibly well. I assure you, big cases and lots of fans do not help.

My dual xeons are in a NZXT Source 210 Elite...plenty of space, plenty of cooling.
