Well I couldn’t resist. Grabbed an Obsidian 800D. That doesn’t mean I’ll be getting rid of my TJ07 machine. Just putting together a new machine for another member of the household. Iteration number one (basically only some final specs, no cable management, no liquid cooling, fail build) is done. The machine is functional but there’s a LOT of work to do… Here are some pics. I’ll be updating when I have some time to get a better video card (thinking of grabbing a 4870 X2 used at a good price) and when my special order liquid cooling parts finally arrive

Nice case, but too “space-y”. Any info about a Midi-Obsidian “400D” ?
not at this time. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Corsair expand their case line if this one is successful though.
I love “too “space-y”" cases. Gives you no worries when you are getting a Video card. Mine is an Asus Ta-m21 which i bought becuz was cheap and had the opening between the hard drives cases giving me more than 40cm to put a video card, IF my pci-e was the first slot >.>. Now i have a M4A78 PLUS and the pci-e slot is 2 slots below the standard. So i’m stuck at 29cm. the 5870 fits really tight there, but the 5870×2 i dont think so haha..
Anyway, YAY for too space-y!
Awesome job on you Obsidian case, it’s what I’d like my case 800D to look like! (someday
) I’m a bit new to the WC stage but have been doing a lot of research and reading everything I can. I’ve got a couple questions, would you say the delivery time on you T Virus res is the standard wait time? I’m contemplating ordering one but not if it takes 2+ months to get. Also, how much feet of tubing would you recommend and what size tubing do you use. Great job on your build you posted on youtube, I love it!
cool, great management of wires etc..
That is one dreamy case. But I think my girlfriend would murder me if I brought home an actual tower with a window…
Have you had any hands on time with the Graphite 600T? It certainly looks nice and seems to have the great Corsair cable management. Just haven’t really heard much about it. Everyone seems to gravitate towards the impressive Obsidian 800D.
Also, what’s your take on the fans Corsair includes?
Hey Linus, i have been checking out lots of your Videos lately. i just built my gaming PC I month ago. and Wish I saved up for a ALL Corsair one. but what ever.. lol
My next build I plan will be ALL Corsair parts as possible. So im looking forward to that..
Right now i got a AMD 955 X4 3.2Ghz and OC to 4.0Ghz..
My temps are MAX at 46c under a room temp of 70c. I love my Antec Khuler 620. Man its the best!
hey i was wanting to upgrade my system here soon but i only have a 750 watt gold power supply and i wanted to go to 2 580′s but im not sure what power supply i should go with my current system is sabertooth p67, 2600k clocked at 4.8ghz, 1tb caviar black, bluray drive and a single 580… will the 850 watt gold corsair power it all without a problem cause i dont want to rewire the system but i will if i have to….
