they both have a following, but are two different genre cases.

mid-sized and quiet (R4) or full and water-cooled (750D).

750D. It has a little more personality to it. The r4 is loved by everyone, but I find it to be way to boring and ugly.

I like them both, however I'd never buy them. I like unique things, and everyone has these.

750D through and through. The r4 cases are hideous, ignoring the form factor you can do alot more w/ a 750d. 

 

Peeps fangirl hard, probably because they sponsor Linus and he endorses them like crazy. But like linus, I love corsair products. Virtually everything they sell is quality, from ram to psu's.

I prefer the 750D myself, the R4 is neat and quiet but that's about it

Choose whichever you like. I can't make that decision for you. But here are some guidelines :

 

Define R4 for a simple looking, air cooled, quiet system

 

750D for a stylish, flashy, watercooled, fairly quiet system.

I own both

 

There's not much of a comparision imo as the 750d is better in every way except noise dampening

 

The noise dampening of the R4 is the primary reason to get one

 

So er.. Different cases for different jobs. My 750d is my main rig and my R4 is my home server.

 

No idea why people buy R4s for gaming systems tbh.

750D :D

 

Bigger means more potential for watercooling and so on.

If you want to watercool get the 750D, if aircooling and silence is your thing then R4. I personally just made the switch from an R4 to a 750D because I wanted to custom loop cool my pc. Sure you can do it in the R4 but be prepared to mod, additonally it was a little small for my taste with an SLI setup.

I just ordered a 750D today that will be here Wednesday, I'll let you know what I think of it.. I'm nervous because I've built quite a few Fractal R4 setups recently, and love the case.. but the 750D will be in my personal build because of the triple rad support on the top.

I've only worked in the 750d, but it is quite awesome, I also prefer it's looks but that's a personal thing.

I actually can't think of anything bad about it, odd...

 

 

Edit: O, the optical bays are down-right hideous, don't use them. They shouldn't have even been included in my opinion.

R4 for Air + Closed loop cooling and the 750D for custom loops and (case) modding and such.
