Corsair Obsidian 750D Full-Tower Case - Airflow Edition

My case arrived and the motherboard mounting screws were missing. Fortunately I was still able to mount the motherboard. I emailed Corsair’s customer support and they were very helpful and sent me the missing screws. As someone who works in customer service I can appreciate how easy they were to deal with.As far as the case itself I love it. It looks very sleek and is made out of fine quality material. It’s huge and pretty heavy but I can’t really deduct a point for that because I bought it knowing that, but just something to be aware of because it is not easy to move if that’s something you need to do frequently, I don’t so it doesn’t matter.Building in this case was a great experience. This was my first time building a PC so how large the case is made it very easy to work inside of. And there are plenty of routes for cables to be able to hide them and make it look nice.The one thing that is hard is getting the tool less HDD trays to fit with the HDD installed in them. I believe this is intentional to make sure they won’t move around when the HDD is running. Just something to note that you may need to push pretty hard but it will fit.As the name suggests the airflow is great. The 3 included fans plus the heat sink fan I purchased for the cpu are more than enough to keep temperatures manageable while gaming. And the fans are all nice and quiet. Once I put my headphones on, even with no audio, I can no longer hear the pc running. Plus the large size means I won’t have to worry as much if I decide to upgrade in the future that parts won’t fit.Great product, I love the sleek and simple look but that is subjective, and great customer service. I will be a Corsair customer in the future.

Pros and thoughts:I read many comments and watched several reviews on the regular 750D from youtube before deciding to buy this tower. I needed a tower that I could install closed water cooling loops into. This tower has a lot of potential to do exactly that. The tower also has some very nice additions. The hard drive bays are removable and stack-able. I found them very easy to use. The removable ssd bays are a very nice touch. The brushed aluminum made for a very nice look. There are plastic parts to this case. Most notably the front and rear feet and behind the cover panels for the 5 1/4 drive bays up front and the hard drive and ssd drive bays, but they are colored exactly the same color as the rest of the tower and don't hurt the esthetic nor did they seem likely to break imo. Cable management is super easy with this tower. I've never been good at cable management, but even I found a way to make the cables fit nicely. When installing components, I only had problems with my usb hub. It was too short to correctly use the easy snap installation bracket on 5 1/4 drive bays at the front of the case. Luckily, the cable side of the bay allowed me to put a screw in to hold the usb hub in place. I found the power and hdd lights to be bright enough but not to bright to be annoying.Something else to note, I would recommend getting the 750D Airflow Edition over just the plain 750D as the extra airflow from having the front designed to let air through helps with temps considerably. In comparison to my last cooler master mid-tower atx I am now getting temps at less than 83F/28.3C on idle as compared to 93F/33C before. This tower is noticeably larger than my mid-tower atx, but also has really good cable management which has helped with the airflow. The included fans, of which there are 3, are 140mm size and are really quiet. I only wish they came lit up in some color.One of my major concerns when buying this product was the reviews claiming damage during shipping. I did not receive any damage during shipping. I order my tower directly from amazon using amazon fulfillment. Youtube videos pointed out damage to the front panel and the side viewing window that happened from shipping. I believe based on those unboxing videos that the packaging has been changed. It appears that they now tape the front panel shut, which helps keep it from becoming lose and breaking. The side panel has both sides of it covered in a plastic static cling sheets to prevent breaking. All 8 corners of the case come with styrofoam corners to protect them. As long as the people shipping it aren't outrageously rough with it, it should come unbroken.Cons:-The front panel placed in front of the 2 large fans at the front of the tower has a delicate snap to close action that I don't care for. I feel like I am going to break it every time I take it off or put it back on. I don't think anything on a tower this expensive should feel easily breakable. I haven't broken it yet, which is why I haven't taken a star off for it but I feel like it could happen even with me being super careful. Seeing as how it has to be taken off to get at the filter to clean it, I don't look forward to the next time I have to remove it.-The hidden fan slots at the front bottom of the tower do not have an air filter.-Not really a con but more a nitpick, I found the headphone and microphone jack to be super stiff when I first got the tower. So stiff I couldn't plug my headphones in all the way until I worked it loose with a air can straw. I haven't heard anyone else complain about this so maybe it was just a problem on my jacks? Either way not really a major problem. The headphone and microphone jacks are working just fine.-Another con that I read about but did not have, I noticed some owners reporting the power button being really soft and then quit working altogether. I personally did not experience this, the power button seems to be stiff and well working.

I recently bought this case for a new PC I built for myself. I wanted something that had plenty of room for a liquid CPU cooler and fans and airflow, and this case delivers. Also, the size makes it easy to work on inside if you want to replace or upgrade something. Just know that this is a big case and might not fit well on all computer desks.Pros:- Looks nice and professional- It has plenty of room for things like a liquid CPU cooler and a long GPU- Organized: The different sets of screws were in separate bags. Also, the case allows good cable management, allowing you to route most of the cables and chords behind the motherboard so they don't clutter up the case above the motherboard too much.- Screwless installation for 3.5" and 5.25" drives makes installation of drives fairly easy- It includes real expansion slot brackets rather than pop-out throwaway placeholders that many other PC cases come with- It comes with 2 front fans (140mm) and a rear fan (most other caeses only come with 1 front fan, and some don't come with any front fans at all). The fans are quiet.Cons:- The front panel is supposed to latch in place, but it doesn't stay on very well. I contacted Corsair and they replaced my front panel for free.- Cosmetic: If you install an optical drive or card reader in one of the 5.25" bays, the front of the drive isn't flush with the front of the case- Know what you're getting into: It's a big case and might not fit well on some computer desks.Other thoughts:I installed a liquid CPU cooler to the top of the case using the long fan screws that came with the cooler. I put the fans on top of the radiator, with the long screws going through the top of the case, through the fans to the radiator.
