Don't really like neither. I'd pick something fractal. Perhaps the Arc Midi R2 :)

I'd go with a H440.

 

They're quality seems better and they seem to have more features.

how do you find the airflow front and top because i will be running a rad in the top 

I have the top as exhaust and front as intake - you can check my build log :) I have also temperatures on idle and full load there

thanks for that and seeing as you're running 2 970's the temps are not bad at all im only running one 970 atm but might get another one in the feature also if i was to get the case i would get the red and black one i thing because thats what my theme is

I love the design of the 750D. I'd definitely get that.

Renowned airflow? More like a renowned lack of air flow :P

Those two are great cases with different pros and cons. For more industrial / sleek look the Obsidian is your choice it seems to have lower airflow than the 780T. Although if the bays are not removed or the fan changed for SP it would be jammed as well ...

 

IMO it's more how you prefer it to look, both are really great cases, loved to build in the Obsidian for my friend's pc and picked the 780T for myself. Although careful if you have a cat ... the reset button on the 780T is WAY more accessible than on the Obsidian. Hope it helped a bit ;)
