Interior
Once again, the interior of the 730T is identical to that of the more expensive 760T, the only real difference between the two models here is obviously the colour of the samples we have at our disposal and the removal of the fan control button on the front panel means that you won’t see the fan connection cables behind the motherboard. Of course I’ve still been around the whole chassis with the camera, so feel free to enjoy the gallery of it below or check out the 760T interior page for full details of the features.
Overall they seem well designed but if I had to choose one it would be the 730T, I haven’t been into a side windowed cases since I was in nappy’s and the fan controller is as much use to me (personally) as an ashtray on a motorbike. That said I’m also not convinced they’re nicer looking than the the old 600T (looks are subjective). Although I haven’t seen these cases in the flesh yet and I’m only judging by the pics, the top with it’s punched out holes looks absolutely dreadful as far as I’m concerned. I’m as adverse to punched out steel case tops as Ryan is to coloured unsleeved PSU & fan cables & green PCB’s, but on budget cases this practice is fully understandable. Also I cannot see anyone not removing the top cover if only to fit a top exhaust fan for natural convection. Mind you this may be just nitpicking as I only have the pics to go on as I said, Corsair does make some of the best cases around and when I finally get around to playing with one I may have a complete change of heart.
Agreed, the top cover needs work but it seems to be fairly standard these days to have this format. NZXT have resolved it on the H440 by having the side venting at the top edge. There is nothing “wrong” with the 730/60 top panel, but it could be better.
Again I think you’re right on the 600T looking better, but that’s really subjective and style always will be. I do love the cases though, on their own merits they’re superb, big, well made and very capable. I doubt anyone who bought one would be unhappy with the products overall.
