We tested two new silent chassis, one by Corsair and one by Cooler Master. We also compared them to six other chassis marketed as being quiet. If we look purely at the test results, then the Corsair 550D is slightly better. The Cooler Master Silencio co...
When we first saw Corsairs 800D case at CeBIT a few years back it was clear at that early stage they had a good hold on what makes a great case. A few minor tweaks later they launched a case which is still considered one of the best available on the marke...
Elegant and professional looks, Build quality is very good, Layout and design well thought out, Extremely quiet, Great cable management options, Quite affordable
Thermal performance (low RPM fans + lack of ventilation at front)
Fans of the Obsidian Series will be pleased to know the 550D is a resounding success. In similar fashion to that of the Corsair 650D, the 550D brings elegance and charisma to the mid-tower platform. Unlike the 650D, Corsair have decided to go without ...
Can be extremely quiet in use, Sleek, minimalist design, Excellent to build into, Great cablerouting system, Good soundproofing throughout, Quickrelease side panels, Plenty of dust filters
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...
Simple yet sophisticated design, Good build quality, Tons of features, Excellent noise dampening, Cable management can be done quite well, Push button to open side panels
Traps a lot of heat and gets hot from the inside, Expensive
We know this case is meant for silent system builders but when it comes to performance, there's absolutely no reason one can give as to why they should run their system hot when they can get some other cases in the market that does the job of being silent...
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...
Generell weiß das Corsair Obsidian 550D Gehäuse zu überzeugen. Das Design wirkt edel und hochwertig. Besonders die massive Aluminium-Tür sticht positiv ins Auge. die Verarbeitung ist ausgezeichnet und durch die integrierte Schalldämmung wird die Lautst...
