To the lower right you can see that you'll get 8 PCI slots to fool around with, in theory you can house up-to four graphics cards in here. I measured and graphics cards can even be up to 370mm in length / 320mm top before you bump into the front side mounted fans, so you'd need the GeForce Titan XXL Titanic edition for that.
- Maximum GPU Length: 370mm (320mm at top slots)
- Maximum CPU Cooler Height: 170mm
- Maximum PSU Length: 225mm (fitted in rear compartiment)
You secure the graphics cards or other cards with a thumbscrew. At the top side we can see one 140mm fan, it is included and installed for you already. With another compartment there obviously is plenty of space on the backside to route all cabling through. We'll show you that in a bit.
You can see many holes (grommeted) with rubber inlays, these are used for proper cable routing. The 740 is probably THE chassis to get when it comes to cable routing as the space for that is just ginormous (is that an actual word?). You can see already where SSDs are mounted, just look behind that motherboard tray.
Located at the right front you'll spot two mounted 140mm fans (PWM controllable). BTW I haven't mentioned it just yet but the Carbide Air 740 can handle ATX, Micro ATX, E-ATX (albeit not 100% sure about that one) and Mini ITX compatible motherboards.
At the bottom side we can see that the chassis rests on rubber feet, this prevents resonating noises coming from the PC, and makes your chassis more silent. It's all very decent really. Missing however, is a dust filter.
