Corsair 250D & 730T Cases & Vengeance M45 & K40 Peripherals - CES 2014

The video covers Corsair’s CES 2014 showroom offerings, starting with the Obsidian 250D, a compact ITX case that emphasizes no compromises despite its small footprint. Linus notes the case design blends Corsair’s classic Obsidian aesthetic with practical features such as front USB 3, a full-size 5 1/4 and 5 1/4 bay, and robust internal layout that supports dual radiators on the right side and space for a dual-slot graphics card. He highlights clever cable management through front-oriented routing, including a wire fan guard to keep cables and components from snagging the fan, and praises the rear-loading drive bays that simplify maintenance by letting you load SATA drives from the back. The segment emphasizes cooling potential, including front 140 or 120 mm fan slots and compatibility with high-end PSUs like the AX1200i, while noting that even boards with raised VRM PCs can fit a dual radiator setup. The discussion then shifts to the 730T, comparing its acrylic side panel and overall chassis vibe to the larger 760T and 750D, but at a lower price with a distinct look. Additional hardware touches include the M45 gaming mouse with a Pixart PWM 3310 sensor and enhanced DPI granularity, and the K40 RGB backlit membrane keyboard positioned as a more affordable option in Corsair’s lineup, offering RGB lighting at a $80 price point. The host wraps with a reminder of CES coverage sponsorships and thanks to Corsair and Western Digital for supporting the event, while reiterating the practicality and design choices evident across Corsair’s 2014 peripherals and cases.
