Today we will be taking a look at the 750D, a Full-Tower case that is designed and produced by Corsair, a company that first appeared back in 1994, since then Corsair has been growing and expanding their product portfolio, always keeping quality and innovation in mind.
The 750D keeps Corsair's tradition of bringing us cases with sleek designs, always going for a more elegant and clean look than most of their competitors, there are no bright colors or awkward shapes here, the 750D keeps most of the front panel free of buttons or doors, instead opting for having all of your usual and necessary ports, plugs and buttons right at the top. There's only one other thing in the front panel and that is the Corsair logo at the bottom, once again very minimal and not disrupting the elegant flow of the brushed aluminium.
In terms of cooling options at the front you can expect to find 2x140mm fans (included) with already pre-installed dust filters that can be easily removed for cleaning, if you prefer you can replace the fans with smaller 2x120mm fans instead.
On the left side of this Full-Tower you will find a massive acrylic window that shows everything that's going on inside, for those that like to show off their components this is a great thing to have. Personally I think that a nice and clean side panel would better match the minimal look presented to us at the front.
The right side panel as with most cases is plain.
Both of the panels have no slots for installing any sort of cooling option which can be disappointing for some people.
The top of this Full-Tower looks very good both visually and in terms of functionality, the magnetic dust filter that sits at the top provides the case with a bit more protection from any dust that might be floating around, it's also extremely easy to remove and put back into place.
The number of cooling combos that can be achieved here is astonishing, you can install 2x140mm or 3x120mm fans, if you prefer water cooling you can easily install a radiator up to 360mm as well.
Under the case you will find some nice rubber feet that prevent the case from moving around and also function as a nice cushion to greatly reduce any sort of vibration that might occur.
A few cooling options are also available here, 2x120mm fans can be installed if you remove the 3.5' cages.
Moving to the back of the case you will find the mount for your PSU at the bottom (with removable dust filter), 9 expansion slots, 2 grommets, another 140mm fan (120mm option is also available) and some extra ventilation holes at the top. Note that the mount for the PSU is missing some rubber feet to reduce vibrations, a weird mistake since it's something very basic.
Moving on to the interior of the 750D, it's good to see a nice amount of space available behind the motherboard tray, always useful when organizing your cables. Multiple cable tie down loops are also present(zip-ties included). Speaking of cables, glad to see that the grommets where they pass are rubberized, always a nice touch that improves your case interior look and also protects your cables from any sort of damage, the decently sized CPU cutout will work with most motherboards, definitely a time-saver.
Still regarding the right side of the box you will find 4 totally tool-free 2.5' bays that sit sideways and allow the user to remove the 3.5 bays at the front if he so desires, this improves air flow inside the case and just gives it a more clean and tidy look overall.
On the front of the case you will find your traditional 2.5/3.5 toolless HDD cages that like I mentioned before can be removed, they can also be stacked or placed side by side, it all depends on your preference and the type of air-flow you want for the case.
Personally I removed both and just used the 4 toolless 2.5' bays present on the back of the case as this helps greatly with the air-flow inside the 750D.
At the top there are 3x5.25 drive bays, these are also completely tool-free and feature a very shiny Corsair logo in the locking mechanism, once again it's nice to see such small but nice details being included in this Full-Tower.
The case is also pretty large, supporting most motherboard sizes, CPU coolers up to 170mm in height and graphic cards up to 450mm.
The several fans and radiators that the case allows you to install will guarantee low temperatures to most of your components.
Final Thoughts
Corsair has done it again, the 750D is a very elegant and at the same time robust Full-Tower that gives the user a ton of options when it comes to components and cooling combos, the large size, great price ($159) and roomy interior work great to improve the airflow inside, making this a very interesting case to beginners and veteran system builders alike.
Like I said in the beginning of this review the only thing that really feels out of place is the acrylic window on the side, I would have much preferred to see something a little bit more elegant and classy that would match the rest of the 750D visual design.
