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.
