Corsair's success in the case market has been undeniable, yet there has always been that one missing option; a micro-ATX chassis. Enter the 350D, a chassis which sits in Corsair's Obsidian series and aims to provide enthusiast m-ATX users with a high-quality enclosure.
Since entering the chassis market with one of the most highly regarded cases of recent times, the Obsidian 800D, Corsair has slowly expanded its range of enclosures to suit the needs of a growing number of users. Today we will be looking at the company's first micro-ATX model – the Obsidian series' 350D windowed edition.
As is tradition with the Obsidian range, the Corsair 350D’s target audiences are high-performance system builders and watercooling users. With out-of-the-box support for up to three watercooling radiators, two of which can be up to 280mm, Corsair's 350D is aiming to bring extreme cooling to the micro-ATX market.
With a sleek brushed aluminium and steel finish, intelligently designed cable management options, and support for large dual card graphics configurations, can Corsair's 350D prove it is worthy of flaunting the Obsidian series' name tag?

- Motherboard support: Micro-ATX, Mini-ITX.
- Expansion slots: 5.

A fan controller is a good idea, but few companies add them in, which is sad. I know my last thermaltake case was very loud. Corsair fans are generally slightly higher quality although I know a lot of people are complaining lately.
This is a great case.
The window really makes this case IMO, would be criminal not to have one with it if you bought it. THe price is ok too. nice one.
Great review luke, tons of detail on the fitting and inside, really wanted to make me look at building a second system now.
Great series of cases, I own an Obsiadian already and its going to last me many years – great build quality on their products which always distinguishes them from the masses.
I agree, bundle a corsair bundled fan controller in future, if the budget allows it. would be hugely beneficial as we could turn down the fans when working on the machine or general use, then enhance the speeds when gaming.
