There is very little wrong with the Corsair Obsidian 750D. It is well-sized, offers excellent water-cooling possibilities, boasts a few unique features—all with a good mix of materials. The ability to hold a wide array of motherboards in combination with several cooling options really shows that the Obsidian 750D caters to high-end enthusiast. But those looking for a simplistic, understated design in tandem with excellent cable-management options will also end up loving the chassis. Add in the fact that Corsair also includes three AF140L mm fans while keeping all the cables black and one has to get quite picky to find anything wrong with the chassis. The chassis would come mighty close to perfection had Corsair then included an option to hang both cages off the 5.25" bays, which would free up the floor for a third cage, while including a 5.25" to 3.5" drive bay adapter to match the front design. Even as it stands before us now, the Obsidian 750D does everything right, including its well-placed price. If you have not noticed until now, Corsair is a force to be reckoned with, and the Obsidian 750D will only further validate their successful presence in the case market.
