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

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 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.

I'd like to give this case five stars because there really isn't anything inherently wrong with the case. The only issue I've had is that the power button simply doesn't work. After doing a bit of googling it seems this problem isn't anywhere near isolated to me. A lot of people out there are complaining about the quality of the front panel on this specific case. I decided the simplest route to fixing this was to wire up a third party power button which works great as far as I'm concerned. Even with my faulty power button I'd have given this case five stars if it weren't for the numerous complaints I've seen online for this specific issue. I figure if it's widespread enough to feed multiple lengthy complaint threads it's probably enough of a problem for people to be generally aware of. With that out of the way, here's the good stuff. The case is extremely spacious. Concealing all of my wiring was super easy. I was considering picking up a modular PSU to avoid all the unnecessary cables filling up the case. Fortunately that's not really much of an issue with this case. There's plenty of space along the side panel to keep everything out of sight without feeling like it's cramped or wadded up. I'm using a Corsair TX-750 PSU so there are quite a few extra wires to tuck away. One thing I really appreciate is the ability to mount SSDs on the side panel. This approach helps keep all of the wiring right there at the side panel with my HDDs and the DVD drive. Great design choice there. The main reason I upgraded to this case was to fit my new GPU which was pushing the limits of my old case more than a bloody glove on an ex-NFL player. My Sapphire R9 290x 8GB fits comfortably with plenty of room to spare. The case is also an upgrade in appearance from my previous case as I've kind of grown out of my desire to have a PC that looks like it was designed for 80s era sci-fi. This thing looks sleek and stylish without sticking out like a sore thumb when people walk into the room.

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!!

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!

Pros -TONS of space -Lots of rubber hobbits, I mean grommets for cable management -The look of this thing is that of something that comes only from dreams -Side panel window is massive to show off your swag(really) -Removable HDD cages. You can side by side them or stack em high. -All front panel connectors work. Cons -Front panel in front of fans blocks air flow, but some still gets through. I wonder if the fans are struggling to pull air and that will degrade them over time? -..... Bzzz... BZZZZZzzzzzz.... WHERE IS THAT COMING FROM??? After several occasions to taking off my headphones to hear a vibration, I narrowed it down, after a week of listening, to the power supply fan filter. Locked all the way in, this thing is loose. Back it out a notch and it will be tight and stop vibrating. Specs for anyone who is looking to build close to what I have This case Intel i5 4690k @ 4.2ghz stock voltage Asus Maximus hero vii motherboard Asus GTX 970 strix (yes some coil whine but I play with headphones so I can hear it in them(razer carcharias)) 8GB Gskill 1600 ddr3 ram Samsung evo 250gb, Crucial M4 128GB, Western digital black 1TB Old antec earthwatts 750W still going strong Corsair H80i cpu cooler. Really big for single style radiator. Had to mount the push fan on the outside sucking air in from outside the case because I didnt want to torque the water pipes too much and have em break. Had to mount cpu block on its left side.

I was able to purchase this case for my new Workstation I was building. The current workstation I have right now is all built into Corsair’s previous Full Tower king the 800D. As I was looking at it on the internet through Corsair’s Website, here at Amazon and on YouTube, I came to the conclusion that it had everything I wanted in my new build. 1.) A nice, clean and “basic” look too it. (I don’t like cases that have all these fancy looks or angular designs.) 2.) Dedicated mount position for SSD’s (More than 3!) 3.) Opened bottom for air intake from underneath the case. (I like to have my PSU’s draw air from the bottom, allowing them to get their own air from outside and not any of the contaminated warmed/hot air from inside the case. 4.) Opened top for air output (I’m looking to put the top of my RAD’s on the top of the case now whereas before I would put a single 120mm RAD on the back.) 5.) Large enough space for the parts I want to get. 6.) Cable management space in the back. As it came here, I opened the box up, took out the case and started to look around it to get the feel of it in person. And the more I looked, the more I started to dislike the case. For starters part of case front (the outer edge) is plastic, it felt a little cheap to me and it was something that was bothering me the more I touched it. The power button was something I was a little on edge for. While I didn’t dislike it totally, I also didn’t like it at the same time. The reset button however was bothering me. It was indeed too small like some other reviewers have said here. I was able to press it when I try, but I seemed like it was more a “pinky” finger operation just to press it. That or you can use a pen. Coming from the 800D, I was a little disappointed that this case didn’t have a button to remove the side panels. Removing screws to open up the side panels reminds me of working on my Gateway I had back in 2006. Speaking of the side panels, while the case was standing up, I unscrewed the two screws to open it up the case and the panel just fell off. Looking at the side panel a little more I notice that they didn’t have much hooks to stay onto the case to prevent that from happening. The only hook was at the bottom of the panel, so the thing just fell over from the top. The last problem I have, (but I honestly think it’s just me) is the build quality of the case. The plastic outer rim the front has was a problem for me, but the rest of it felt a little thin. I guess it could be the actual metal parts of the case were all smooth and not “brushed & ruff” like my 800D was. I ended up sending the case back after having for 4 days and decided to go for the 550D a second time for my new workstation. The case is a great case, but after looking at it in person and thinking about it for a few, It’s just not for me.
