Hi, i am planning to buy Corsair Obsidian 900D to my new rendering workstation. I am concern about few compatibility issues:

 

1. there is in this case any special mount place for 2,5" SSD? or i need to buy an adapter for eg. from 3,5 to 2,5?

 

2. Does this case support workstation standard motherboards like Z10PE-D8 WS => EEB Form Factor 12 inch x 13 inch ( 30.5 cm x 33.02 cm ). Because on corsair page in specification it isn't listed (only Mini-ITX, MicroATX, ATX, E-ATX, XL-ATX, HPTX)

 

And i have one question about Corsair Hydro series. If any corsair hydro product is compatible with Socket 2011 (Intel SB-E & IB-E) it means also that is compatible with newer version 2011-v3 (HaswellE/EP)/EN or no?

DO NOT get a 900D for an AIO, or even for custom watercooling, just dont get 900d.

If you REALLY want corsairs signiture blend of lots of fetures, high price tag, and bad build quality, than get 750D, but I would recomend to you instead the entho Luxe, or Primo if you really want.

But velcro, painters tape,double sided tape or just sticking it in the bay works just as well. :D

I saw in real life 900D and it looks and feel like high quality build, it has also really good reviews. So what would you recommend as the best case for dual xeon setup (rendering machine). Earlier i've considerd:

 

Phanteks Enthoo Primo

NZXT ?

Lian Li ?

Rosewill Legacy MX2 (too small)

Nanoxia Deep Silence 6

CoolerMaster Cosmos II

Thermaltake Urban series

InWin 904..(too small)

Fractal Design Define XL

Razer NZXT H440 (too small)

SilverStone Tj11

XFX Type 01

Bitfenix Shinobi XL, Ghost, Shadow, Pandora

Tj11 is by far the best, but overkill

If you're using an AIO, then just get an enthoo luxe, 750D or H440. You don't need a massive case like the TJ11, enthoo primo and 900D if you aren't going to do a full custom loop in it. Also, these cases will have mounting points for 2.5" drives as well as 3.5"drives.
