Obsidian 550D, Plain Side Panel

Hello Corsair!

It seems impossible to get the "plain side panel" for 550D without having to order it from USA, and that would probably be to expensive with the shipping and all. I guess this is a matter of supply and demand but perhaps you know how I could get one without having to ship it over overseas.

It would also be nice if you (in the future) could build a chassi like the 550D in aluminium, I wouldn´t mind the higher price. There is already to many "lowbudget" cases outthere in my opinion. You can make it look loke this!

Made this just for the fun of it! I borrowed the pic from your webpage and altered it a bit, hope you don´t mind!

As a 550D user with 2xSSD and one harddrive + a long PSU, this solution looks really nice

Thanks!

Another nice feature for the front panel could be simple multi bay solutions like a bracket for 2 x SSD or 1 x HDD instead of the existent bay covers.

Nice work, I'll pass this on to the chassis engineers!

For the side panel, I don't think it is available directly in Sweden (the part number for a 550D solid side panel is CC-8930049 - you want one without fan mounts, right?). If you can't find it, ping me a pm with your address and I'll see what I can conjure up...

Thank you Blackbeard!

About the side panel, yes that´s the panel I meant!

I would be very grateful if you could conjure up something. I haven´t actually bought the 550D yet when I spent all my savings on the stuff listed in my signature, although I will do that in the very near future and use that instead of the chassi I currently use.

Another query,

Do you know if I could use the Thermalright Archon Multi RT CPU cooler in the 550D?

The Thermalright would fit, though naturally I'd suggest a Hydro as a better solution Perhaps the newly updated H60?

In addition to this idea, I would very much like to see a set of hard drive cages, as removable accessories. That way there won't be any segment of users who'll miss out from your great designs

He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

Thermalright fits! Thanks!
The Hydro H60 would probably if not even fallibly be a better cooling solution but I would prefer to stick with air because I kind of dislike the idea of having running water inside my case. Thanks for telling me about my options though.

Hi again Blackbeard! About the side panel,

The other day I received the shipment from Corsair and I have also ordered the 550D from a vendor here in Sweden so now it feels like I will have a pretty unique version, at least here in Sweden, (quote me if I´m wrong).
Thank you so much for all your help! Really nice of you.

Another question,
I understand that it will come out a new PSU, AX860 (platinum). Will it have the same dimensions as the AX850?
