Corsair Obsidian Series 750D Full Tower Case Review
Bigger is always better and Corsair stays true to the cliche with its Obsidian Series 750D Full Tower computer case. It has room for just about anything you might want to put in it and does so with a very simple yet elegant refined look. Let's see if it brings value to the system builder and is worth your hard earned money.
Introduction
Today we are reviewing Corsair's Obsidian Series 750D full tower PC case.
Corsair is famous for its memory products, but as you likely know, the company has branched out in recent years with its cooling line, world class power supplies, SSDs, audio components, keyboards and mice and, of course, computer cases. Put it this way, if you call yourself an enthusiast, not only have you heard of Corsair, you've owned one or more of their products.
Corsair is a global company bringing innovative, high-performance components to the PC gaming market. Specializing in very high performance memory, ultra-efficient power supplies, and other key system components, our products are the choice of overclockers, enthusiasts, and gamers everywhere. Corsair has developed a global operations infrastructure with extensive marketing and distribution channel relationships. Corsair’s products are sold to end users in over sixty countries worldwide, primarily through leading distributors and retailers.
Founded as Corsair Microsystems in 1994, Corsair originally developed Level 2 cache modules for OEMs. After Intel incorporated the L2 cache in the processor with the release of its Pentium Pro processor family, Corsair changed its focus to DRAM modules, primarily in the server market. In 2002, Corsair began shipping DRAM modules that were specifically designed to appeal to computer overclocking enthusiasts. From its roots in high-performance memory, Corsair has expanded its award-winning product portfolio to include ultra-efficient power supplies, builder-friendly cases, ground-breaking CPU coolers, blazing-fast solid-state drives, and other key system components.
The subject of today's evaluation is the newest member of Corsair's Obsidian Series, the 750D. The company product page proudly states that the Obsidian Series cases are "designed by builders, for builders, with space for nearly any system configuration you can imagine." If this new chassis is anything like the 900D and the 550D, you are in for a treat. Let's see if the newest addition to the line-up can live up to the reputation of the Obsidian Series.
Product Packaging
The Corsair Obsidian Series 750D arrived in its bare product packaging with no signs of wear or damage. The overall package measurements are 25"H x 24"L x 13"W and is constructed of double-walled corrugated cardboard that is glued along the seams.
Once again, Corsair decided against flashy packaging and slick graphics, instead opting for plain cardboard packaging with product information, name and company logo printed in black. The case itself is wrapped in a plastic bag and held in place by thick Styrofoam inserts.
While the outside of the box showed no signs of damage, the case itself did in fact sustain minor damage during shipment. We found that one of the thick styrofoam inserts that holds the case in place was cracked and a few minor dents in the rear of the case but nothing that would prevent us from reviewing this case.
