What are the main materials used in the construction of the case? Steel? Aluminum? Magnesium? (Corsair Obsidian Series Black 800D Full Tower Computer)

The steel structure has a matte black coating both inside out and is finished with a brushed aluminum faceplate for a professional look that's both serious and awe-inspiring.

Aluminum is mostly used in the case the only real plastic piece is the glass

It is a steel body and aluminum face plate. The outside and inside are black. The side access panel window is plastic. Corsair sells a replacement side panel if your want to get rid of the side access panel window. It (the case) is very heavy, so be prepared for a workout if you move it around.

The face of the case is aluminum, but most of the case is steel. But the case is fully painted looks great inside and out.

Motherboard, CPU, Power supply, RAM, fans (the fan plane and fans that come with it are loud, so plan accordingly), cables and software to run it. I don't think I missed anything, but ...

The case is metal. I would say tin. The part is shown sticking up is like a magnifying glass. Except for the hole you see, the circle surrounding and the stick appears to be hard plastic. The hole is a lens. On the compass packaging it says: Durable metal case, hairline guide wire, (appears to be sturdy/thick) ,floating luminous digits, needle for exact bearing, carry handle, instructions on reverse. Hope this helps.

Yes it's made of aluminum and yes it flexes a tad, but once the machine is completely built with power supply, mobo, optical drives, etc., that's a non-issue. I've used these cases for six custom builds so far without problems. Note: As a custom builder I wouldn't worry about "flexing" when you remove a side panel, I mean, after all, how often are you going to be yanking the machine apart once it's built?

The case contains 200mm/120mm fans with blue LED's. They are all lined with blue LED's. Hope this helps!

Aluminum. Has held up well so far.Do not unplug by pulling the rubber end. I accidentally pulled the actual electronics from the metal casing.Super-glued it back together, then ran some HD Tune Read/Write test to heat it, to help set the glue. Seems to have worked so far.

It's made of plastic, honestly the case is really flimsy. My case had a crack in it. However the hardware is very good. I don't store anything in the case. I just placed it neatly in my toolbox with my other lathe stuff.

You did say cheap, so make sure you computer componets are snug when installing and not overly tight. Also, parts bend easily, feels more like this case is made of tin. So far no issues for the last 2 years.

I'm sorry I cannot answer this question. The fans are installed in the case and are working well.

It's plastic. I've never seen metal laptop case. I don't think that would be too good for the electric components.

The case is plastic. So pretty much everything you touch will be plastic. I assume the inner workings are metal, but I'm guessing that doesn't really matter.

Haha, make sure the curiosity doesn't get the better of you and make you open it up for a tour. I am also wondering how its managing heat. My guess is the traditional copper piping with aluminum "fin" style heatsink attached behind the LED chips with the fans blowing across.

I haven't gotten my build up yet, but from what I can see, there is an LED for the power on the front of the case. It would be easy to add LED lights though. You can get case fans with them for a few dollars a piece. I recommend corsair case fans.

Everything is in the case. Power Supply, Screws, Legs. That's it! Great Case! It would be nice if you use a motherboard with an onboard USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 socket for the card reader and the USB 3.0 outside port. I like the white one best!

The top is brushed aluminum and the bottom is white plastic. Looks very nice. It is a great very fast light laptop.
