Corsair Obsidian 800D ATX Chassis Review

I read that like 5 times and still didn't notice that, lol. Ok, I'm an idiot.

I'm just glad it was in there

I went to install a 3.5" internal flash card reader today (Nippon Labs Delux 3.5" Internal All In One Card Reader/Writer with USB2.0 & eSATA Ports Model ICR-BB) that I bought from Newegg.com... Yeah, ummm There is no way to mount any 3.5" device in this chassis for external access... I called Corsair and they said I need to go buy a 5.25" to 3.5" drive bay adapter and they suggested the Lian Li MF-515 as it would match the finish of the Corsair case the best.

The Lian Li 5.25" to 3.5" Converter BLACK (MF-515B) can be found at FrozenCPU.com for $15.99 plus $8.24 for shipping...

I now have $44.22 tied up into a flash card reader... unreal!

Just a heads up for someone looking into this chassis as this was an unseen expense.

Makes me glad my monitor has that built in.

I finally broke down and bought the the Lian Li MF-515 5.25" to 3.5" drive bay adapter and installed my memory card reader the proper way. I went through CrazyPC.com and got it for $11.99 plus shipping. It matches the system pretty good I must say. Corsair really needs to make one of these.
