A Closer Look Part I

Once we start to remove the panels, it becomes obvious the Corsair R&D team did a great job. The option to install a 240mm AIO in a case of this size is amazing; a 120mm Fan is used to expel the heat from the top of the motherboard.

 

 

  

 

Both side panels received a large cut-out inclusive a meshed grill and non-removable dust filter. The smoked window in the top panel allows a glance at the utilized hardware. The aluminum brushed front panel adds that little extra Pro look to this Obsidian 250D case.

 

 

 

The front panel I/O is located next to the optical drive. On the left a power button alike the 750D and the reset button. On the right hand side two USB3.0 ports and the in and out jacks for the audio.

The Obsidian 250D rests on four oversized plastic feet with rubber inserts.
