Conclusions

If you are looking for a Full Tower case with outstanding gifts and expandability with the potential for above-average cooling, the Corsair Obsidian 750D is the product for you. The build quality and finish levels remained at the usual excellent standards put on display in the Corsair Obsidian Series products, with the use of quality materials and a pair of parts completely free from misalignment or inaccuracies.

The integral painting, black in color, is just perfect, smudge-free even in the most inaccessible places, very durable and porous at the right point: enough to avoid retain fingerprints easily, but not too much to prevent the accumulation of dust.

With regard to the design, we are in the presence, once again, classic lines. You may love it or not, but they certainly are appreciated for the elegance that gives the product which, in our opinion, will never go out of fashion. The ventilation system in each room offered is a top notch, the use of fans with their generous size at low revs, and a well-designed flow system ensures the right balance between good indoor temperatures and quiet operation.

For those not satisfied with the standard cooling configuration, they are still provided ample opportunity for expansion, either by increasing the number of fans, both opting for sophisticated cooling liquids, which are in this case their ideal environment.
