welcome to the courser suite always lovely to visit these people see Jorge see other people and this place is always so busy but they have some new cases that we obviously are gonna check out so come along see we have people and some more people so the 500 decays I'm really excited about that stuff there but it's quite busy so let's first check out the carbide spec Alfa okay so the spec Omega is an exciting mix between the original spec Alfa case and the 460 X so the interior has been completely changed up but that Bulldog gaming exterior remains the same we get three color options all of which are $99 we have tempered glass at the front with that angular portion that looks awesome it's much cleaner versus plastic and we also have the large side tgd panel that is weirdly attached with hex screws instead of thumb screws so corsair believes a thumb screws don't provide a good user experience because of fingerprints and unattractive looks because they stick out too much so the lower profile hex screws were introduced here the jog or the cutout beside the PCI area is non present here so you need to fit this screwdriver through the holes to secure your PCI slots there's also no power supply shroud so the full interior is just open exposing your drive cage in the front in the power supply you can fit a 360 rat in the front and dual 140 mm fans up top so it's a nice refresh to a unique frame with better internals but I am curious if you think it's a good deal for $99 so let me know in the comments and now let's check out the Corsair obsidian 500 d it's the new case it's kind of like the merge between the 570 X and the concept slate that we looked at Computex aka I guess if you cut that in half you get 500 d kind of makes sense but yeah these two variants one a little bit more on the premium side aluminum and tempered glass and RGB fans versus the other one that's a little bit more you know kind of like okay sexy in black so that's the 500 deep let's check them out so this one is a bit more exciting because the interior matches that of the crystal 570 X but with a revamped exterior shell to add some life into the Obsidian series so the fully SPECT out 500 e with all the tempered glass panels and the curved GG panel and the front that by the way has terrible yields is the 500 d SE or special edition with a pretty steep $249 price point while the regular 500 d sells for only 150 so the reason as e is that expensive is because the commander pro fan controller / lighting controller hub is included with three RGB fans plus one non RGB and all that glass on quality hinges for that suite swivel action the power supply shroud here is closed at the front with ventilation and cutouts there are reservoir and pump mounting points in front of here too there are two vertical PCI slots but for some reason they don't include the PCI riser cable and they don't even sell that yet but at least it's future proofing that enclosure the top fan bracket can accommodate 8 to 80 min radiator with a total of 60 millimetres stack on thickness because of the additional height of the frame and you can fit a 360 rad and different to the top of your features a type C port which is one the first for Corsair and as for the empty interior you can see the motherboard is slightly compressed inside and that helps with cable management and for storage we get three SSD caddies behind the tray and dual three and half inch caddies and the front so I would say that's pretty good and the only difference between the special edition and the regular 500 D is the brushed aluminum exterior versus glass and you also get non LED fans inside the 500 D and it's also $100 cheaper making the case actually quite an attractive full tower option at $150 so stay subscribe for our full reviews to come soon and the last thing here is this a X 1600 eye power supply make tell me it's the best part plane in the world that just got better oh and behind me is the best view of any boot that will visit so we'll conclude here thank you so much for watching what do you guys think about the spec Omega and the obsidian 500 d I'm really looking forward to actually working with those cases just to see what the experience is like you know even though it's just a little revamp of their previous iterations but it's really good that they have upgrading the frame and they're listening to our feedback so thanks so much for watching make sure to check out our other CS content I'll see you in the next video
