But now to my new achievement: the 750D.
System:
CPU: AMD FX 8320; Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7, RAM: RAM AMD Radeon 2400 GHz, GPU: PowerColor R9 280X, and as the power supply from Corsair 750AX.
Note:
Apparently Corsair has responded to the criticism of the Community and released a new revision of the case. The recognizable in Figure 4 'Huckel' for mainboard mounting were with me no longer exists (because there were problems with some boards), but there were normal spacers installed.
Processing:
How it's used to from Corsair (I've already 'a few' installed) very high. The finish is excellent and has no defects. Similarly, the accuracy of fit at the (de) mountable parts. The dust filter will snap clean and the HDD cages can be implemented easily.
Only the hard drive carrier cages tarnish the image a little, because they consist of a very thin plastic. But to build not constantly hard drives on or off, so that's really negligible.
Dust filter:
Since this is a very important (for me) point I speak it here at separately. Here Corsair has done his homework, and especially the handling very well resolved. Thus, for all filters (in front, cover, and the power supply area) very easy to remove and clean.
There are only two places where there is no filter. On the one hand the rear fan (where none is required) and, secondly, the two of fans among the 3.5 "drive cages (which are accessible only after removing the HDD cages).
Ventilation:
Overall (incl. Ground) can obstruct eight fans, are provided one of which five with dust filters. This one has all the choice whether you want to use 120 or 140s fan. The fans already included in delivery (2x front and 1x rear) provide already for a good air flow and that can be heard but not really disturbing. My neighbor has a Corsair 600T, and he felt my 750D as 'quiet'.
However, can be optimized by replacing the fan the emitted sound, yet. Even without fan control are the Corsair AF140 worth a recommendation and when using a fan controller, hard to beat.
Temperatures:
In direct comparison to the Arc R2, the temperatures have only minimally improved (GPU -3 ° C / CPU -2 ° C), but I have at present only three fans installed instead of the six in the Arc. According AOD I have in any case, even under load more than enough reserves up before there could be problems with the temperature.
Space:
Who has the way I used for years only midi tower, gets in the delivery once a fright. The case is really big and has accordingly also a lot of space in the interior. GA-990FXA-UD7 My has something Oversize acts but built really small inside. At Arc R2 I had to partly quite something squeeze to obstruct everything, here you can really let off steam.
I would particularly like to mention the space behind the Mainboardtray. The laying of cables are a breeze and you have many mounting options for the individual cable strands.
Water cooling:
The first cycle (the installed components can be found in this review) for the CPU is now installed and at once I have again a lot of space in the housing. Two 120mm fans in the lid to blow out the air can be used and the rear fan was fitted with a dust filter and rotated about the top 240 Radiator built to supply fresh air.
The effect is dramatic. The system volume has decreased, the CPU has ~ 20 ° C / ~ 12 ° C (idle / load) lower temperatures, and even the graphics card benefits, although it is not included, the Converted to ~ 13 ° C / ~ 8 ° C greater temperatures.
The second circuit for the graphics card (s) will be added later if I have it all together.
Incompatibility:
Unfortunately, now a part of a water cooling without finishing has been found to be incompatible with the housing. When EK-BAY RES D5 (and thus also the EK-BAY RES D5 Vario) the slots for the guide rails of housings are not deep enough. So they will need to help out a little, and the rails in the drive cage edit something (ie over a length of 4cm the rails by about 2mm grind). Without a reasonable multitool you have a problem there.
Disadvantages:
There really are very few things that I would like to mention only for completeness shortly here.
1. The magnetic dust filter in the lid makes optical ago and is some of the handling perfect. However, he is, in contrast to the filter in the front, rather coarse mesh and thus not quite as effective.
2. If the material thickness of the side parts Corsair has a bit too much saving. You are MMN but a little too thin and just the side with the window acts expanded not really stable.
3. I'll probably never a friend of quick-release fasteners for drives. As can obstruct a normal Blu-ray without any problems you do not get with some unusual hardware (such as a Koolance TNK-501) but so few problems because the closures grip really.
Since it's all about little things here but I will not point in the evaluation deduct since the rest just right.
TL / DR
In my opinion one of the best housing which currently is on the market. Some may find the price a bit high, but here you have a Tower of the price is simply value and with which you will have even years later joy. It is precisely the simple appearance makes it timeless and the quality convinces.

Tips:
1. If you want to use the space in the rear fan for sucking air, need to look at the Silverstone SST-FF143B times.
The optimal solution, however, is the Demciflex dust filter kit that provides all the relevant Number of fans with a dust filter.
2. Pay attention to the length of the cable for the power supply of the CPU. Possibly an extension is needed because if you want to run the cable clean.
3. Concerned with 20cm if you want you a few SATA cables use the 2.5 "frame at the rear. Thus, the wiring of the drives is somewhat simplified.
4. If you want to remove the quick release fasteners, which only needs a flat screwdriver push one of the retaining tabs and pull something. The closures have no fiddly small parts and can be used without any problems again.
5. Since the reference of UNC screws is not always easy, especially if you need certain lengths, I deposited a link for a source of supply in the first comment.
Addendum:
Unfortunately, a hidden error has been found in the fall out to start the retaining lugs of the front bezel with my case. Corsair has but to send me a new front on request free of charge (and the UPS and at very short notice).
Especially in case of problems (and it can be anywhere times passed) can be seen then the manufacturer also really take care of their customers, and as worthy of support from Corsair also 5 star ...
Now, after installation of the first part of the cooling water is my first impression was confirmed: the 750D is the case what I had been looking for all these years actually. For me, (Attention: Subjective: D) it is the perfect case for my system.
