Corsair Obsidian 1000D started life as Project Slate at Computex 2017 with the key features of support for dual systems and a colossal amount of cooling hardware. The Corsair suite at the Hyatt had Slate positioned in a dark corner to make absolutely certain we got the full impact of the extensive RGB lighting. Corsair highlights the fact that the Obsidian 1000D support 21 fans out of the box with 16 at the front (that’s two 480mm radiators with fans arranged in push/pull), three fans in the roof and two at the rear. Corsair had populated the entire collection and the result was impressive, so it took us a while to appreciate the 1000D is supplied without any fans at all. When you consider that a triple pack of Corsair LL120 fans costs £90, well, you can do the maths. The other talking point about the Corsair Obsidian 1000D is the support for dual systems with E-ATX in the main chamber and a Mini-ITX system towards the bottom of the case. If you take this approach you’ll require two of everything, including motherboards, CPUs, graphics, power supplies, RAM and cooling systems. Naturally we couldn’t resist going for the maximum so we arranged a massive pile of components and got stuck in.
