![]() could have had a bit larger area for cable management and better drive quick-mounts but what was included was sufficient. would have preferred push button design but thumbscrews are very common in this price range so its hard to complain. i would have prefered a standard sized cover though this would have been fine if they offered (even as a paid product) a dvd drive cover (similar to what lian li did) or other solution. lots of room for decent sized coolers, hardware. both front, bottom and top filters which make it good for a dusty scenario. hidden ssd bays, removeable drive bays, some cable organization slots many locations supporting large 140mm fans as well as 120mm. not as nice as my 800d but for the price it was better than most of the cases i looked at. What i liked and did not like about the 750d. ![]() ![]() what turned me off though is that i really do not care for doors on my cases and i was not sure how well the hidden intakes would peform in terms of cooling capability (that and i was worried our high dust problem would make it into an issue). while it was far from fancy and used some plastic build quality was not bad and the design was interesting. i'm not a fan of nonstandard fans (the top vent) and the dust magnet of a case so i did not give this one much time.Īnother case i was considering highly. While not high quality it was not quite as flimsy as some of the designs i handled. i did think the front fan removable mechanisms were quite interesting. i was intrigued but ignored it in favor of higher airflow cases. fairly low airflow from smaller fans however was pretty well built and had a nice noise deadening side panel. i liked the fact that it was roomy, had a good design and had support for nice large fans however i did not like the fact that it only supported a single front fan (i'm of the belief that positive air pressure is very important as negative sucks in lots of dust and we have lots of dust here!), that it had no filters for the intake fans and that the case and plastic front were different shades which would have bothered me. One of the cases i was seriously considering. i ended up going this route because it used standard sized fans, was nondescript and had features i wanted.Ī lower end cheaper version of below with smaller/less fans. the biggest negative is the nonstandard faceplate which makes it a bit ugly to have a drive in (though you may be interested in the stealth drive mod). felt thin and a bit flimsy but not as bad as some other cases.įor the price range it was fairly well built with a decent number of good options. while not bad in terms of performance and value this was standard fare for cheap steel pc cases and nothing stood out as being special. Photos looked much nicer than product in person. in particular the ribbed plastic bits were extremely fragile. Interesting design concept, cheap construction. a few comments on the cases i had a look at while i was there. ultimately my choice was between the 750d and phantom 530 since they were more what i was looking for in a case. the only cases which stood out to me in the $80-150 price range were the 750d, phantom 530, fractal r4 and nanoxia ds1. Given that i'm rather picky, know my hardware and insist on viewing products in person i took a trip down to the local microcenter for an in depth look at some options. You can click on the part numbers to go to the product page.I have a 750d myself which i swapped to a year or so ago when i decided to upgrade from an 800d to something with better fan support. Many of our mid-tower cases come with glass panels so you can show off the components you have inside, especially if you have RGB LEDs that you have customized with iCUE.īelow is a list of our current mid-tower cases.
