naturally many enthusiasts loved the Corsair 800 d because of its over-the-top greatness and the 900 d is kind of that plus some however I was always a little bit more interested in the 650d because it took some of the over-the-topness and replaced it with some practicality that I found kind of refreshing the 650d was enough to fit everything that you needed without just being a little bit on the ridiculous side this my friends is the 750 d having not received a reviewers guy and i'm opening it with sting by the way I was saving sting sting unboxings to start with something very special so the 750 d is what it looks like is without being completely ludicrous everything that most enthusiasts could possibly want including unlike the 650d very strong radiator support as well as compatibility with even excel ATX motherboards which have somewhat gone out of vogue that was sort of a thing for a bit there and I'm kind of glad that it went away because standard ATX motherboards are just fine unless you're going to make an excel ATX motherboard that actually has nine PCI slots on it for example which nobody ever did for some reason so it uses hard foam actually not the most robust foam I've ever encountered so I don't know how strongly I would be able to recommend shipping your system across the country once it's fully built especially if you go crazy and add all 10 hard drives that you can to this system and a bunch of liquid cooling and stuff because I don't know how how well that foam would hold up with that said I guess we'll find out if it arrived here in one piece because this was shipped from Corsair all the way to me up here in Canada so if it arrived then at least it tells us that is probably adequate for shipping the case by itself the six 750 d is use some of course there's other cases sort of stylistic direction of having plastic accents or protrusions or whatever else and goes much like the 650d for a very clean aesthetic overall so you can see the side panel here is just plain steel with a nice large window we've seen this before on the 350d the extremely the extremely large window with a slightly smoked look to it on the front panel we find I'd be what's become a staple of the very high-end Corsair cases this brushed aluminum finish and like the 900 d they've gone with a wider stance to this case and a wider than five and a quarter inch five and a quarter inch bay so what many enthusiasts are doing these days is they're not even bothering with optical drives so what Corsairs done is they've gone well okay we're not going to compromise the aesthetic of the case by having a five and a quarter inch bay that goes from here to here because probably most people won't even use them but if people really want to have a five and a quarter inch bay this pops off and I'll show you what it looks like once we open it up the front here is capable of holding up to a 280 or 240 millimeter radiator you can see there's a removable fan filter and two of their AF 140 L fan so these are airflow optimized they're not quite like the retail airflow series they don't have the rubber grommets in the corners the replaceable rings and the aesthetics are a little bit uglier but they're definitely functional fans I personally prefer their pressure series fans but it's hard to go wrong with either of them so you can see here the additional mounting holes if you wanted to have a different fan configuration or whatever else the case may be I always love saying that whatever the case may be haha I'm unboxing a case alright let's go ahead and put this back on so it just sits there like how does this go on oh I see it I put this in wrong so the fan filter goes on the inside there and then this guy sits so you guys can have a look at that sits in those two little pieces right there and then clips on up here oh I hate touching these just because you're going to stain the aluminum so beautiful all right front aisle you've got your headphone jack microphone Jack reset button love that nice and recessed you're not going to be able to accidentally press that your indicator LEDs as well as your power button two USB three SuperSpeed ports two USB 2.0 ports and that is pretty much it let's move around to the back of the case oh where we find out yes one two three four five six seven eight nine PCI expansion slots this is mostly useful if you're installing something like a dual slot graphics card in the very bottom PCI Express 16x a lot of a motherboard so even though there's actually no corresponding slot on the board here you're going to want your rear exhaust or your rear ports to come through at the back you've got a 120 or 140 millimeter mount at the back there's a 140 millimeter fan mounted there by default they do have extra room up here on the top so you shouldn't have too much trouble installing a radiator there and just more random vents also in the back so I think it's time to open this bad boy up I'm expecting to find lots of room for cable management due to the wider than normal stance of this case and I am NOT disappointed side panel house what I'd consider to be a pretty typical amount of flex the thing about Corsairs cases is they're not necessarily over built when it comes to things like you know yes we're going to use you know one point two millimeter thick metal on everything it's not really like that it's more to do with the engineering of them once they're put together they're extremely solid and it's about the features that you get in the convenience so little things like having over an inch of cable management space back here for large cables like your 24 pin although if you go for something like an RM series power supply you might not even have to deal with that because it's got a flat 24 pin cable you've got lots of cable management hooks these I love to see Corsair and NZXT are the guys that I'd really consider to be leading the charge when it comes to cable management hooks on the back of the motherboard tray guys they cost nothing and manufacturers that implement them are just plain being considerate of their customers because it makes it easier to get everything laid down flat so you can get that back side panel back on they're very very nice to see and this is cool so I haven't not a reviewers guide for this case so I'm just kind of winging it here but check this out they've got built-in SSD mounts all down the back of the case here so this is an evolution of I guess mounting SSDs on the back of your motherboard tray the top of the case actually has a very unique sort of implementation of a front or of a top fan grille and that's this check it out nice little flexible magnet around the outside so you can take it off if you prefer the aesthetic of the open grille or if you're not using it as an intake and you don't want fan filters or whatever else you can swap around your rubber grommets according to whichever holes you prefer to use and you can put it right back on just like that love it very nice so it looks like you could install it whichever way you wanted so I'm going to go with this way so I can see it to my front panel all you got to do is check that in there clicks into place and when you eject it it actually pops itself out with a little tension spring mounted thing here at the front so you can take these out if you don't want them you can just remove them with presumably screw or plastic yet there they go they come right off just like that and that's pretty darn cool great feature all right so I think that pretty much does it for the back here you can see they've done a lot of folding and bending in order to reinforce the motherboard tray so in spite of the very large cutout it actually is pretty darn solid so kudos to Corsair for coming up with that particular idea and let's say oh yeah there's a little bit of tool lessness to the five and a quarter inch bays but of course you can install screws as well in the front we see the support for the aforementioned 240 millimeter or 280 millimeter radiator we can also see that if we were to remove both of these two three by three and a half inch or two and a half inch drive sleds we would be able to install another 240 millimeter radiator right there in the bottom we also find the accessories which I keep getting to talk about when I do these pace unboxings because they're just so boring zip ties screws okay all the screws you need to build your system in this case also on the front we find lots of cable management rooms so I like to see this more cable management holes next to the power supply and then other cable management holes in other places so here's for your graphics cards your 24-pin your whatever pin all the pins that come through are the ones up here lots of room to manage your cables and since I covered most of what's interesting about the case when we were on the other side let's stick with ah yes more information about radiators and I think I might have been wrong about that front one oh yeah two eighty or two okay at the top you can do 360 mil or two 80 mil so you can actually put a triple 120 millimeter radiator in here natively or a single 280 mil right over here and it looks like you wouldn't have to sacrifice your five and a quarter inch bay if you were to go that option that's actually a very compelling option so you could actually do 280 280 maybe 240 depending on the clearance between the front one and the bottom one and throw for SSDs in here no problem truly enthusiast grade when it comes to the supported hardware without that ridiculous size and weight that comes along with an 800 d or a 900 d I could actually move this thing with a system installed in it when we did our overkill buyer's guide in the 900 D I couldn't move the system on my own once we were done with it so you've got a filter that's removable for the power supply intake so that's pretty straightforward actually one of the better built filter removal mechanisms that I've ever seen so it actually has like a slot that it goes into instead of relying on being able to line it up with weird little like you know bits of metal or
