Originally posted by EdgeCrusher Your not asking me, but if you were I would say it seems like a step backwards. I really think you guys should be getting more professional and sleek looking cases. Or at least one. Let me try to explain what I mean. I'm not asking you to start building boring office pc's or something now but to use an analogy I used in another post, to me all the cases you guys offer are like the honda civics that are parked outside the highschools. All mismatched colors and neons, strobes, spinning hubcaps and plastic body kits in your face and stuff bolted on to places they never belonged. What I'm looking for is the Cadillac fresh off the lot type case. A luxury car case that's black and chrome, solid and heavy, reliable, stealthy and classy. The kind of car the Honda civic owners buy once they grow up, get a real job and make real money. I want a rolex watch case and not an apple smart watch case. I suppose the 400q is technically in the "classy" category but its like the cheapest, oldest, smallest, least capable Cadillac out there with some general pretty low reviews from what I'm seeing. I would really like to know why it is you discontinued the case but I won't push. It's just me being curious and I'm sure you have more important things to respond to me but why? Was their problems with it? Did the techs not like working with it? Was it not selling well enough? Or did that style of case not jive with the look DS is going for?

The slade had been on DS site for years, they usually tend to change cases every so often like the Apollo which use to be the Corsair 600t which is now the Corsair 760T. I believe Corsair discontinued that as well as the 550d which is why DS no longer offers either one.

To see if they have a case, when you go to customize click on Change next to Chassis Model. But in short no they don't have the 550D listed anymore and the 400Q is the correct one listed. Whether they still have any left i don't know you would have to call and ask. Unless Alex replies again with an answer. ]]> Sun, 31 Jul 2016 05:02:11 +0000 https://www.digitalstorm.com/forums/corsair-obsidian-550d-slade-overview-tidf21111/ https://www.digitalstorm.com/forums/corsair-obsidian-550d-slade-overview-tidf21111/ Author: EdgeCrusher

the Corsair 750D Obsidian is the perfect full-tower PC case for those who are not looking for overkill. It features a plentiful of fans and dust filters to keep the chassis cool and clean. Overall, the Corsair 700D is a beautiful case that will look good in any build. ]]> Thu, 30 Oct 2014 23:01:56 +0000 https://www.digitalstorm.com/forums/corsair-obsidian-750d-full-tower-overview-tidf21095/ https://www.digitalstorm.com/forums/in-win-901-mini-itx-unboxing-and-overview-tidf21896/ Author: Meller

I find their cases to be very beautiful. I love the brushed metal + glass builds they are doing. They're launching a 901 in the UK for 149 Euros. It's essentially the same case. Very minor differences.

Still such a solid case in today's market. While yes Corsair has the AIR 540. I would consider this case, and the AIR 540 to be two of the best straight air systems... though the AIR 540 is a little more liquid cooling friendly, this one is completely supportive of all AIO cooling systems... or even a nice 360mm at the top with a bay res/pump combo.]]> Fri, 02 May 2014 00:10:42 +0000 https://www.digitalstorm.com/forums/cooler-master-haf-942-x-dreadnought-overview-tidf21110/ https://www.digitalstorm.com/forums/in-win-904-inwin-unboxing-and-review-tidf21907/ Author: Meller

Have you seen there Tou case?

http://www.engadget.com/gallery/in-wins-tou-desktop-case-is-also-a-mirror-all-over-itself-almost-too-good-looking/485742/#!slide=485742

I like it kind of... it's almost too reflective. But the concept is quite beautiful. Almost wish it was just tempered and tinted, rather than reflective.

I wish I could find the pictures of it, but there was a PC build that was posted on facebook about a year or so ago, where someone customer build the liquid cooling directly into the glass. The flow paths and everything were in the glass. It was so cool. Do something like that in a build like this, could make it a truly unique and high end build.]]> Fri, 02 May 2014 00:09:05 +0000 https://www.digitalstorm.com/forums/in-win-904-inwin-unboxing-and-review-tidf21907/ https://www.digitalstorm.com/forums/in-win-904-inwin-unboxing-and-review-tidf21907/ Author: Nav

InWin is known for producing amazing, one-off cases that push the boundaries of a normal chassis The 904, is no exception. With its $280 dollar price tag, the 904 is also not for the budget-minded PC enthusiast.
