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.

This is far and away the highest quality chassis I've ever built a rig into. It is also the best bang-for-buck deal I've found anywhere for a high-end quality chassis. Double win for Corsair on price/performance AND on designing a fantastic case with thoughtful, useful features and user-friendly functionality. Most everything is toolless -- not that I mind using a screwdriver, but in this instance I only needed it to fasten down the mobo and attach an H100i cooler to the inside top. Three installed 140mm fans (2 intake, 1 exhaust); generous space behind mobo tray with lots of rubber-grommeted access points to route/hide wiring like a boutique build; clean, elegant aesthetic that does not stand out like an eye-sore; excellent fit and finish; solid construction; matte black surfaces (inside and out) mitigate fingerprints; front-panel audio, 2x USB 2.0, and 2x USB 3.0, all well-spaced to accept even ungainly-sized USB thumb drives; plenty deep enough for the longest video cards, and then some; lots of room in general that makes it easy to work in; flexible drive cages (accepts 3.5" and 2.5") can be mounted a number of different ways; 4x dedicated 2.5" bays tucked behind mobo tray in addition to the 6 main internal drive trays; big side window (not really my cup of tea, but since this case makes it easy to do such a nice wiring job it turned out to be kind of cool. Thankfully, there are no lights anywhere unless you put your own in, so it is still fairly unobtrusive, in own dark, hulking sort of way.) The only quibble I have is with the odd choice for the 5.25" bezels. If you don't put any drives in there, then it looks fantastic. And clean. Like the side of El Capitan. But if you install an optical drive (or anything else) in any of the three front 5.25" bays, the clean lines are broken and there is no shaking the fact that it looks... unfinished. Like a door is supposed to be there covering that. I don't particularly care that much about it, other than to note what a shame it is that this otherwise flawless beauty allows itself to be slightly marred by installing something in the front drive bays. Seems like there could have been a less clunky-looking solution. But this is Corsair's fault: if they hadn't tried so hard to make the whole case look so sweet, I probably wouldn't even have noticed. 5 stars!

Let me start by saying this: I have been building custom computers for well over ten years, I've built half a dozen systems for myself and at least the same number for family and friends. So I'm an experienced builder (I'm also a software developer) and I expect a lot from the components I buy... The Corsair 750D is hands down the best case to build in that I've ever seen. It has the perfect balance of size, function, flexibility and layout. It is incredibly easy to route wires for a nice clean build, it is solidly constructed, looks elegant is both quiet and cool with a proper fan setup. It will fit any aftermarket air or water cooling system you can put together and can easily accommodate 6 or more fans (I have 5 140mm and 1 120mm and it is whisper quiet). The only con I can even think of is that the bottom fan location is just barely too small for a 140mm fan, which would have given me 6 of the same size instead of 5 with one smaller one. That's being REALLY nit-picky though, I'm pretty sure if I removed the second hard-drive tray I could fit a larger one there. The little touches are especially nice: pre-installed stand-offs for the motherboard, the dust guards for the top and front, the easy to re-organize internal layout, the extra space behind the case for cable management. I can't say enough good about this case, I just finished a second build using this case because my Dad wanted the same case I had. After building my GF a system last fall with a slightly smaller case I had forgotten how nice this one was!!

I purchased the 750D to replace my Cooler Master Storm Trooper. I loved the Trooper but it has a critical design flaw that I couldn't overcome. The power and reset buttons are big and located in a perfect spot for your cat to jump on right when you're the middle of important work or important gaming. It happened way too many times and alas the Trooper needed to be replaced. Enter the 750D. The case obviously address this design flaw with its simple/small front facing power button. The large window and aesthetics in the product shots made it an easy choice for a replacement. I purchased it at 9pm on a Friday and it showed up at 10am on Sunday. Amazon is quite possibly the best company ever. Anyways...back to the case. After unpacking I immediately thought wow those product shots do a great job translating the slickness of the case. It does looks really good in person. Much more sleek than the CM Trooper. After putting my hands on it I noticed something a bit disappointing. The build quality just didn't feel as good as the CM Trooper. There was a noticeable drop off in sturdiness and overall "feel" of the case. The pro of that is that the case was much lighter. Either way I was initially disappointed and because I didn't have the time to immediately transfer my parts to the new build I spent the day thinking I had made a mistake. Fast forward a day and now its time to actually work with the case. While building the machine I noticed a lot of subtle little touches the case had that made me realize I didn't make a mistake at all. The amount of space to work with inside is excellent. Removing the hard drive cages gave me a huge palate to work with. The integrated motherboard stands were a great touch. Lots of the fan screw holes have rubber washers on them to dampen vibration. The optical drive bays are completely tool-less. Like real tool less. Same for the 3.5" drive bays. The release clamps for these are nice and big and easily accessible. Its subtle but it was appreciated. The SSD cages were also a pleasant surprise. They were a little difficult to get securely mounted but one you locked them in place essentially all wiring for these could be hidden. Overall cable management was superior to the CM Trooper in every way. Did I mention there is a lot of space in this case? I was able to do push/pull on my H100i with the radiator mounted at the top of the case. I could not do that on the CM Trooper. It was curious considering the cases have similar dimensions. Aside from the build quality I did have one other annoyance with this case. The power button isn't very "tactile". There's really no feedback when you're pressing the button. It sometimes take a few tries to actually push it correctly to get the thing to turn on. Its minor thing but something I will note for prospective buyers. Overall, this is a good case. Its not perfect but as a rig building machine is has a lot of advantages. The quality is of this case comes in subtle ways that don't show themselves until you're actually working with it. -1 star for the quality of the materials.

Wonderful case! This case is huge, I upgraded from a Vengeance C70 and am not sorry I did. The first case came damaged from shipping or warehouse handling, one of the feet was cracked so I had to send it back for another one. The second one came missing one of the rubber pads for the feet, Corsair RMAd one out FAST, great customer service! One of the aluminum drive bays came with a little mar on it, not bad enough to want to RMA, but just visible enough it's a bummer. I think the quality control missed the mark (get it?) here. Other than that, the case is fantastic! There is soooooooo much room inside, I fit a UT60 360mm rad up top, an XT45 240mm rad in the bottom, AND a UT60 240mm rad on the front ... which brings me to the front of the case. There are enough mounting holes, and seemingly the foresight, to have your two 140mm fans mounted in the front of the frame as well as a 240mm rad on the inside of the frame! The mounting holes are raised and recessed in such a way that none of the screws interfere with the components. There was probably room to fit a 120mm rad on the back, however I wanted 140mm fan there so I'm trying to figure that out. I fit a 250ml Res X3 inside the case as well. The SSD mounts on the back really helped save some space in the case. The only thing I wish is that the case came with some other options to mount an HDD, such as brackets or hardware for mounting it in the optical bay, or brackets for mounting one or two on the SSD rack in the back. Overall this case is absolutely, hands-down, an excellent and sleek desktop PC case. If you're thinking about purchasing one, I highly recommend it!

The best case I have ever worked with. So glad I made this change. Not only do I sleep better at night now that I have perfect cable management, but my wife said it looks like I've been losing weight. Love the large design, huge window, and boat load of extra scews and upgrade potential. Thank you Corsair you've made me a believer. Highly recommend if you want a case that rocks and gets chicks. My first case I received had a crack in the plastic of which Amazon sent an overnight replacement case! Amazon rocks! Update 12/02/2015: This case is still the greatest. The ease of cleaning the intact screens makes this a winner, my motherboard and internal components stay nice and clean. I like the SSD hideaway drives that can be seen but are out of the way. I mounted a 5TB in the provided hard drive caddy and screwed it in on the bottom near the front of the machine. It took some tinkering as every once in a while I would get some vibration noise (not much, but I likea a quiet machine). I found using some rubber with adhesive backing (from some fans I had laying around) and a few minutes of tinkering resolved this issue. Pros: Still sexy as ever, great cable management, easy maintenance cleaning, girls (my wife) flock to me because this thing looks so nice. Cons: None, wish I would have found this case in my teen years...

Truly phenomenal case! I own the 350D for a Micro-ATX build, and as it was time for a new primary build, I was in need of a case that was Extended-ATX Motherboard friendly. I will get it out of the way, and say, that many current case designs scream "hey look at me, I'm 12!". While that would work if I was still a child, such is not the case. I've been using Lian-Li cases for the majority of all my PC builds, however I decided to step outside the box a little this time. The only down fall I've found of this case is the steel/plastic design. While it is nice don't get me wrong, everything about a aluminum cases screams quality! But aside from that, WOW! this case really hit the spot! From SSD mounting brackets in the back, to the HDD cages, plenty of room for extra 120 or 140mm fans, and plenty of room for multiple graphics cards :) This case is extremely roomy & provides superb air-flow. The washable front fan grills like that on the 350D are a nice touch, and the magnetic top filter gave me one of those "hey now that's brilliant" moments. If you're looking for a clean, yet sexy looking Full size case & a great price point that allows easy cable management, Corsair has really provided an excellent option! I couldn't have been more happy with this build!
