CORSAIR®, a world leader in enthusiast memory, PC components and high-performance gaming hardware today extended its multi-award winning range of performance PC cases with the release of the new CORSAIR Carbide Air 740. Featuring CORSAIR’s innovative dual-chamber Direct Airflow Path™ design, exceptional cooling capabilities, unique bold design and a stunning tinted, fully removable side windowed panel, the CORSAIR Air 740 offers remarkable cooling performance and the flexibility to handle even the most ambitious enthusiast system builds.

An evolution of the best-selling CORSAIR Carbide Air 540, the Carbide Air 740 takes full advantage of its predecessor’s ground breaking dual-chamber design. Fully utilizing the space within the case, the Air 740 splits the system’s hardware between two compartments. The main chamber houses the core heat generating system components; the motherboard, CPU, graphics cards and memory, while the rear chamber mounts the 3.5in/2.5in drive bays and the PSU. This arrangement maximizes the airflow from the three pre-installed CORSAIR AF140L 140mm fans, delivering amazing unimpeded airflow through the main compartment. Drive cages and cables are neatly tucked away and don’t interfere with airflow, all without compromising on storage capacity.
 
Loved the Air 540 until I sold it for a Master Case 5( missed case handles). Its the same skeleton as the 540.....and just looks like a dustrap though. Bleh.
 
As a 540 owner, this looks OK, but they completely removed all 5.25 inch bays? I don't use mine much, but having the option for a Blu Ray/DVD combo drive still seems useful.
 
This looks kinda weird but lots of space. Can't wait to see more reviews
 
What a fugly.
Very fugly. Do not want.

This is why it has taken me so long to find a new case. Unfortunately I think I'm going to have to surrender my internal 5.25" Blu-ray drive and replace it with an external one.

Easy solution:

Good point. Didn't even notice that. My PC is still my primary movie player and I prefer it to both the PS4 and Xbox One. I suppose the total lack of PC Ultra Blu-Ray movie players is telling, though. Blu-Ray might be the end of the line for PC disk formats.
