CORSAIR Obsidian Series 750D Performance Full Tower Case (CC-9011035-WW)

The Corsair 750D provides a solid experience for a reasonable price.This is not my first build, and I would call myself an somewhat experienced builder, who's too poor to afford to make extreme builds. That said, the Corsair 750D was the easiest and most comfortable build I've ever had. This case is a fantastic option for anyone who wants a high quality case for a reasonable price. The case features a brushed grey metal exterior with standard mic/headphone ports 2 USB 3.0 ports and 2 USB 2.0 ports. The only LEDs provided with this case indicate power and HDD/SSD activity(right and left side of power button respectively).Pros: This case is highly functional, and extremely roomy. I enjoyed working with it. The majority of components have a decent build quality. Also, this case is compatible with most PC mods or additions, making it a solid, lower price substitute for the Corsair 900D. The interior of the case is the most notable part of it. It's roomy and provides both the compatibility and space that both novice and experienced builders can make use of. Also the inclusion of dust filters that are extremely easy to remove makes cleaning a breeze. The fantastic cable management allows you to create a clean looking case. There are rubber grommets everywhere, and my case has never looked cleaner.Cons: Due to the finish used on the front panel, it scratches very easily (it can be scratched by your nails when turning the PC on). However this problem is mostly aesthetic, as the scratches come off with a little water. The build quality on the side panels leave some to be desired, as they are cheaper and decently flexible. The side glass consists of some sort of Plexiglas that is extremely bendable and feels cheap. The front panel (the part with the Corsair logo on it) is removable, and this presents a problem, as the latches that connect this part to the rest of the case have a tendency to break. This happened to me, but after I filed an RMA I was shipped a replacement exactly 10 days later (at no cost to me). When you add a new 5.25" drive to the front, it doesn't sit flush, and in my opinion, taints the aesthetic of this case. I ended up stealthing my drives, an easy process that you can just google how to do.Other: This case is very minimalistic. If you want flashy parts covered in RGB lighting and that kind of stuff, then this case does support that, but you would need to purchase these things separately. This is the type of case that wouldn't look out of place in an office, but still provides and appeals to your wildest fantasies without a $400 price tag.Note: I bought this case on sale for USD $99.99, so at this price point my views are likely to be skewed.Also, this review was written as of 2 and a half months of purchasing this case and learning what I could about it.

I upgraded to this case after using a funky old mini tower for quite a while, and this is a really nice upgrade. It's very big (which is what I wanted) and it looks cool without looking too "gamer".The cable routing options are nice, and there's a big enough gap between the case and the back of the motherboard tray that even with a lot of bulky power cables and whatnot routed back there, the case closed very easily without anything getting stuck or wedged. The motherboard and power supply all screwed in nicely.The 3.5" hard drive mounting brackets are great. The plastic is quite flexible which feels weird at first but it means they won't shatter when you flex them to attach them to drives. The fact that there are so many of them is really nice, as i've seen quite a few cases that are huge but have nowhere to put drives. There are cutouts which make cleanly routing the sata cables easy too, which is great. The three 5.25" mounting bays up top work great too.The fans pre-mounted in the case are all dead silent, i attached them to a fan controller because I expected noise problems but turns out I didn't need to worry about that. I added two LED 140mm fans on the top which look cool through the screen on the top.Overall I'm extremely happy with the case. There are a few negatives, but they're not dealbreakers. First, because of the size of the case, the thin steel just seems a little flimsier than I expected. The case as a whole feels sturdy and fine, so I don't think it's a problem but still when I look at some of the pieces they seem quite thin. The other downside is that the 5.25" fan controller I got doesn't quite fit properly with the tool-less mounting. It fits, but I could only put a screw on one side, the tool-less clamp can't be removed and blocks all the other screw holes. This is probably more the fault of the fan controller having too shallow of a mount, and it does still work ok with one screw, but that was the one real problem I had.In the end, I'm super pleased with this case. I think it'll handle quite a few upgrade cycles, and it really looks awesome without being too obnoxiously GAMERRRRrrr like many cases are these days.
