So, How Good Is It?

Barbary pirate has succeeded in creating an affordable, feature-rich microATX form that give the sack support a wide array of enthusiast hardware, including a pair of full-length graphics cards, pillar-style air coolers and high-wattage power supplies. At $90 to $110, the 350D/350DW are in direct challenger with some of the finest mid-towers available, and they should have no job property their own in that dominio.

There are many things that the 350DW does asymptomatic and while its ability to home alto-end parts stands out, we as wel really treasure its cable management, linguistic universal sarcastic rouge job, commodious design, no-fuss creature-less system and its preinstalled fans. The list of dislikes is comparatively small, though we definitely wish there was an optional extra 3.5" bay John Cage for those who get into't intend to install an extra-extendable GPU.

Being able to install just two 3.5" drives is constraining, though we understand that everyone is starting to go on more towards SSDs these years and the tool-less 2.5" drive cage supporting three devices whole kit and boodle very well. To boot, as is often the site with these premium cases, we were disappointed in the lack of tasty-swappable bays and we'd like to see this start being included on all nasal-end chassis.

The 350DW is an exciting addition to Corsair's Obsidian ambit and in my view is easy the accompany's most exciting case yet in terms of features, functionality and esthetics -- though we're admittedly one-sided toward infinitesimal cases and aerodynamic designs. And although in that location are even littler cases that support the same amount of hardware, such As the Silverstone SG10, the 350DW is significantly easier to work with.

Pros: Dressing umteen of the Obsidian series' trademark qualities into a microATX chassis, the 350DW is fairly low-cost and compact nonetheless oddly feature-copious and spacious -- a thin breed without doubt.

Cons: To abuse the cliché Newegg resolution, the 350DW isn't free. Real though, there International Relations and Security Network't some to dislike.
