The Obsidian Series 450D has an elegant brushed aluminium front panel and a solid steel body. The interior is designed for superior cooling efficiency, with a modular removable drive cage system and dual SSD bays that mount behind the motherboard tray and out of the airflow path. I have to confess that I took those paragraphs from the side of the Corsair box but they are bang on the money and sum up the Obsidian 450D very nicely indeed.

In essence the Obsidian 450D is a high airflow mid-tower PC case.
