We've seen plenty of Corsair's first-ever chassis - the Obsidian 800D - in recent months, but we've always been wary of the suggested price tag.
Corsair had originally stated that the monster chassis would hit stores in July with a price estimated at around $299. Well, here we are, nearing the end of July, and the Obsidian 800D has finally made its appearance at UK etailer SCAN.co.uk* with a pre-order price of £209.99.
That's a whole lot of cash, but then, this is a whole lot of chassis, too. As with most things Corsair, the Obsidian 800D is targeting the hardcore enthusiast, and it aims to do enclosures better than all the competition. There's the promise of lots and lots of room, thorough cable management, hot-swap SATA, a tool-free design and plenty more.
But is it worth over two-hundred notes of your hard earned? Stay tuned as we'll be passing our verdict in an upcoming review.
In the meantime, if you're itching to know more about the chassis itself, check out the following video walkthrough with Corsair's Rob Pearce:
