Closer Look: Packaging and Exterior

Here we can see that the case is packed in a black cloth like sleeve instead of the usual plastic covers; and around both sides is a good thick piece of foam.

Then here we have the case itself; it is a fully black case with two 140mm fans with red LEDs (The white one has white LEDs) on the front. The front fan filter is removable by clicking on both top sides, and you can remove the top for better cooling (if you install fans or a water cooler) by just taking it off. Then back on the front there are three 5.25″ bays, maybe not so much but a lot of people do not even have a DVD writer anymore. I have one but rarely use it only for some games I cannot download from Steam or Origin.

Here we can have a look at the front I/O panel of the case. We have an audio and microphone jack, two USB 2.0 and two USB 3.0 slots, the reset and the power button. Nothing really special but we have all of the necessary stuff.

Then on the side we have the side panel; but corsair did something else other than just thumbscrews or removable covers. With the Graphite 730T and 760T, the side panels can be opened like a door. The door can swing 180°; and if it still bothers you can just remove it by lifting it off the hinges. On the back of the panel we have two big rasters for some more airflow. I really love this case myself, but I just miss a window on the side. But do not worry! The 730T has a bigger brother, the 760T which is the same as this but has a huge windowed side panel.

Here we can have a closer look at the back of the case; there are nine expansions slots for graphics cards, TV cards, wireless cards or other expansion cards. Next to the motherboard I/O shield, we have a 140mm exhaust fan and underneath that there are two holes for water cooling tubes. If you wish to use them you will need to drill them out. Then on the bottom we have the place to install the power supply unit.

Like I already mentioned above, you can easily remove the top cover the install fans or a water cooling radiator. There is room for two 140mm or three 120mm fans. If you do not use any fans, you can just leave the cover on, it just looks a bit better.
