First up, we have the Corsair Obsidian Series 550D. The chassis – steel and brushed aluminum – come with two 120mm intake fans and one 120mm exhaust fan, with additional fan-mounting locations for a total of 10, including side-mounted and top-mounted (with radiator support) locations. With a matte black interior, the Corsair Obsidian 550D provides 8 expansion slots and claims to allow GPUs up to 17.7-inches (450mm) in length, 6 hard drive bays, 4 optical drive bays, and magnetically-mounted dust filters. The Corsair Obsidian Series 550D is expected to be available in February with a SRP of $159.

Next, we have have the Corsair Carbide Series 300R. Though slightly smaller than the Obsidian 550D, the Carbide 300R also allows for 17.7-inch (450mm) GPUs and a matte black interior, but instead offers 7 expansion slots, one intake and exhaust fan (with room for 5 additional fans), 4 hard drive bays and 3 optical drive bays. The Corsair Carbide Series 300R is expected to be available in February with a SRP of $89.

“Inexpensive, compact cases often fall short in builder-friendly features, airflow, or the cosmetic features that make great gaming PCs really stand out,” continued Mr. Mookerjee. “The Carbide Series 300R hits the mark for an affordable, enthusiast-quality compact PC case. Its innovative features will be appreciated by both seasoned system builders and PC gamers who are taking the leap and building their first system from scratch.”
