Smoked and hinged tempered glass side panels provide quick access and streamlined aesthetics, while the floating glass front panel adds much-needed softness to an otherwise hulking form factor, and as you'd expect, there are plenty of provisions for RGB lighting.Ĭorsair includes a Commander Pro lighting and fan controller, meaning temperature, speed and illumination can all be monitored and tweaked via the Corsair Link app, though do be aware there aren't any fans included as standard. Corsair reckons this is the most feature-rich case it has ever built, and also the best-looking Obsidian Series case yet. Still, if you want to go insane on your next build, the 1000D is an obvious starting point.

Corsair reckons the secondary system could be dedicated to streaming, or serve as a file server, but we're yet to be convinced and eager to hear your thoughts - can you anticipate any scenario where you'd want to build two rigs into one case?

Who actually wants two systems in the same chassis? That's another good question. Corsair obviously wanted to go one better than the already-gargantuan 900D, and so what's the next logical step? Yep, you guessed it, Obsidian Series 1000D has enough room to house two complete builds inside the one case. A massive chunk of change, but pick your jaw up off the floor Scan tells us this is a typical ballpark for extreme enthusiasts with particularly deep pockets, and though few could justify such an expense, the fact that you're getting two PCs in one helps soften the blow. It's called the 3XS Carbon Fluid Extreme Xp SLI and with a price tag of £13,999, it's worth more than my car, and truth be told, probably more powerful. Instead, we had the case re-routed to Scan Computers, whose 3XS team were tasked with using the monster to create a true modern-day dream machine.

It's a monster alright - so much so that when Corsair offered to send one in for review, we decided that despite our access to so much high-end hardware, we wouldn't have the gear required to showcase the 1000D to its full potential. Dimensions? A whopping 693mm x 307mm x 697mm. The good news for those who favour an over-the-top build is that the wait ends today with the launch of the Obsidian Series 1000D. The original Obsidian Series 800D laid down a marker way back in 2009, and though the subsequent 900D expanded the bigger-is-better approach in 2013, there's been nothing new to shout about for quite some time. Corsair's burgeoning range of PC enclosures includes something for just about every type of user, but for the ultra-enthusiast, you could argue that the last few years have been barren.
