It's a pretty good case.
Well built, has some nice features, easy to build a system in, but also nothing special.

I like it, but I think there are better options.

It looks pretty solid. Have you also seen the phanteks enthoo luxe/pro/evolv ATX? May not be the best for your needs, but great cases to think about...

I like good humans and good food

While I have never built a system in one, I did consider it for a long time as I think the case looks really nice and smart, it is easy to build in from speaking to people who have one, so I am sure if you got this case you would be very happy with it.

It's a great case from what i've seen, enough space for pretty much anything you want to throw at it and looks sleek. Getting a bit old now, but i suppose class never goes out of style.

I had originally decided on the Thor v2 by rosewill but the lack of a side window to show off all my new stuff has turned me away. i love the huge side window and the huge amount of space.

Some good points mentioned. I moved from the 550D to 750D and was considerably disappointed with how many awesome features that the 550D contained had been removed for the 750D. I moved from the 750D to a Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX and it was truly glorious.

I would say the 750D is a good option but that being said I have it's predecessor the 650D, it does have a bit of restricted airflow however unless you have the mesh or open front on the 750D. As for lighting, I would suggest LED strips if your wanting RGB lights聽聽Addon Customs, Cable Mods and Mod guru are all good options for lighting.聽

The 750D is a fine case, I have one and I enjoy using it. There's some front airflow problems with the standard edition of make sure to get the 750D airflow edition unless you can score a cheap standard 750D and buy the performance kit.

Bought my 750D so I can hold a bunch of storage drives and unlike most people, I still have a use for 5.25 drive bays.

I'll tell you that once you get the 750D, you don't have to worry about space clearance for anything, it can fit everything you can throw at(not the best case for 4 way card setup).

Never really liked the enthoo pro...

Here's my setup.
