I originally bought a cheap PC case so I have something to put my parts in and just get ready. I had this offer where I get £80 Amazon gift card for free for upcoming or current university students so I thought it was the best chance to get this case before it goes back to its retail price (I got it for £40 not £50. Worth £50 though), The PC case arrived day after because of Amazon Prime and I am not surprised by how good it works as a functional case.When I put the parts inside it felt easier than my old flimsy case, all parts went into the right places just right and it doesn't feel like talking out any time soon. The one and only problem I had with the build is the power supply I have (Corsair CX550)Couldn't properly fit into place, but with a bit of force I could manage to fit 3 screws in and with extra force I could of got the 4th screw in to.Talking of screws. You get more than plenty of you need any extras if any of them break or you lose some. There's twice as much as you need for each screw but the motherboard screws (you only get 4 of them).Inside the pc you can fit an ATX,MATX Or of course an ITX motherboard into the case with ease and medium graphics cards too (2 fans. Depending on what mobo you have you can possibly put 3 fan graphics cards in here). I personally have an ATX and fit perfectly as you can see in the pictures.There is one preferred red led (or depending on your case colour I'm assuming) fan to the front of the PC, and an additional 4 extra fans you can add to it (one extra at the front, two on the top and one at the back) unfortunately my pc can only go up to 3 non molex fans so I need additional adapters for the full experience on that. So if you wanted to do cooling (water cooling etc) you can.The size of the case is just right, with the drive bay stuck in one corner with a stand where you can design it if needed (I put an Elizabeth Dishonored pop vinyl just to show that you can do it), and there's easy to access drive brackets to take out and put in your hard drives. At the back you can put the ssd on the side part or even put it in the bracket.The window side shows everything which you need to see in a pc (motherboard, graphics cards cooler and the top of the drive pay as shown. So it does have nice representation in terms of if you cant cable manage right (like me haha)The bottom part of the pc has a dust collector so you can easily collect dust and has 4 strong parts where the case does not slide and you need to push with force. I think this is good because my previous case was like that so I'm happy this one doesn't slide.The only negative other than the one I mentioned earlier is probably the placement of where the usb, or front panel connectors are. This can be different in every build, but it's faced to my wall and it's hard to do specific things with it other wise. This is a small pick from a good near perfect pc so don't make this a reason to not buy it at a good price.If I had to rate it out of 10 it has to be a good 9 because of how nice it looks and how nice it also represents. It's a must buy if you're a beginner or just want to upgrade like myself. (9/10)

This case is amazing. The tempered glass has a slight tint (black) but not too much that you can not show off your system. The frame less glass sits flush with the metal top of the case and plastic front and goes all the way to the bottom and rear. The cable management is brilliant with lots of cable loop holes and built in clips in the case. The rubber gromits going to the inside of the case also hide cables well. The PSU bay is big enough for even some of the larger PSU but make sure you check the length (it is listed on the specs for the case or on Corsair website). Loads of room for a front radiator, I have a push pull at the front and still have loads of clearance before the ATX motherboard starts.Clearance for a radiator at the top is very tight. I mounted my radiator at the top at first but though it was just a little too tight (my fans were almost touching the ram and my top LED header and fan headers were covered on my board). SSD can be mounted to back of motherboard tray which is very nice. Hard drive cage iin the PSU cupboard can be removed if not in use which leaves a lot of room for cable management. I have a NVMe and a rear mounted SSD and a standard hard drive mounted in the bay so did not have the option of removing the cage which made it a bit tight for space with the cables (even with a semi modular PSU). Once your PSU is mounted you can not remove this cage so you need to decide before mounting PSU. Also if the cage is in and you then mount your PSU and it is modular you will struggle to plug your cables in so they have to be plugged in before mounting PSU as well. The case has an RGB controller on the back which controls the fron integrated LED strip. I disconnected the signal wire from this and actually wired it to the data of my motherboard addressable RGB header (it is a 5V LED strip NOT a 12V so 5v, Ground and Data) so I could sync my front lighting with the rest of my build. The dust filters on the front and top are both magnetic and do a good job. Having the vertical mounting for GPU is very nice and it is sturdy with no sag on my card (although I did print off a support for the bottom just for aesthetics). If you want a white case it is very nice to have the inside all white too. If you like to add LED strips to the inside of the case the nice matt black boarder around the tempered glass will help hide top and bottom strips. I found due to the case being white, my RGB fans and RAM were plenty to light up the case without the need for strips. motherboard tray has central pin as standard and all the standoffs and screws come with the case. The front can easily fit the 3 x 120mm fans but if you want to mount a 240mm radiator and a fan you will need to mount the bottom fan first or you will not fit it in. You could have the radiator at the bottom if you were not running push pull fans. This case is a mid tower but I found it a little shorter than my old mid tower. Most modern cases are slightly smaller due to not having hard drive bays any more.

I bought this case on Black Friday 2019 for about £81 as part of a new PC build (1st time building it myself).I spent a lot of time looking into cases I wanted one that looked fantastic, was white to go with my office desk and cabinets but didnt break the bank.There was a few options to pick from but what came obvious quite quickly was the premium to have kit in white! Most cases and components (ram, fans, power supplies etc.) you can almost be certain to pay 15-20% more for the luxury of the item being white which is absurd.After scouring the various options I settled on this corsair case as it was only just above my expected budget for a case, looks amazing,has a bit of RGB and a large tempered glass side panel to show off your build.One of the other benefits was the power supply is covered up so I could get away with buying a black version of the power supply I wanted for £50 less and then invested in some white power supply extension cables to maintain the aesthetic I was going for.Overall the case was very easy to work with, easy to install everything but if you have lots of fans or a big power supply like I did then the cable management was moderately tricky.My 850W fully modular power supply struggled to fit with the cables plugged in as they were hitting the internal HDD caddy, fortunately the HDD caddy is removable and I was only using SSDs which can be mounted elsewhere in the case. I could simply take the HDD caddy out and free up a lot of space at the bottom of the case getting rid of the cable management issue entirely.The rgb is very nice but basic, it has a controller on the back of the case to set various colours, speeds and modes which is great but this means the case cannot sync to corsair icue software if that's what you are hoping forI like the magnetic removable dust filters as this will make maintaining my new pc a breeze and there was plenty of space of additional fansOverall chuffed I went with this case it looks great and helped achieve my vision for my new pc without being too overpricedFull PC specification (plug and play 0 overclocking):Ryzen 7 2700 (non X variant)MSI Gaming X RTX 2060 Super16gb Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3200mhz RAM whiteMSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX motherboardSabrent 256GB NVMe M.2 SSDADATA ultimate SU800 512GB SATA SSDCorsair RM850x 850w Gold power supplyCorsair Carbide SPEC-06 white rgb case2 120mm stock fans from Corsair SPEC-06 case as intake3 Corsair iCue SP120 120mm RGB fans as exhaust (1 back 2 top)Windows 10 64 bitGames tested on highest/Ultra settings @1080pWitcher 3 100 FPSGTA 5 around 88-100 FPSDestiny 2 130 FPSLeague of legends 300+ FPSBattlefield 5 90 FPSStar Wars Battlefront II 90-100 FPS

The case arrived in a well packaged box and very well protected.~~ The Looks ~~The case looks very professional, sleek and sexy. I adore the RGB strip at the front of the case, and I'm very pleased that the RGB controller is already pre-cable tied at the back of the case instead of inside the case like the previous series.The tempered glass is very sturdy, and the thumb screws/allen key screws are a nice touch.~~ Cable Management ~~There's LOADS of areas for tie off's if you're using cable ties, I mean, LOADS. All over the casing there's places for you to tie off your cables. There are several Gromets inbedded in the case to pass cables through and tidy things up, it's very well thought out,

The Corsair SPEC-06 is a very nice case, it has 2 usb-3 ports in the front IO, it came with motherboard standoffs and it has plenty of holes for a better cable managed build. It can fit up to 6 120mm fans and has a nice magnetic dust filter on top. Radiator support is also very nice, being able to fit a 120mm radiator at the back, a 240mm on top and a 280mm OR a 360mm at the front of the case.There is, however, one notable flaw. It clearly says on the photo the case can fit up to 2 140mm fans on the top of the case but that is not the case (pun not intended). It can fit two 120mm fans or a single 140mm but if you were looking to fit two 140mm fans,

A decent case for the price but I feel there are few things that potential buyers may want to be aware of.First, this case only comes with one fan, a 120mm one at the front. It does come with the appropriate screws to mount your own (it comes with a lot of spare screws, actually) but if you're buying this case for gaming, bear in mind that you will probably want to buy additional fans. I mounted an exhaust one at the back of the case and I'm considering getting another front one as well.The HDD caddies are nice but my SATA cables are the ones with a straight-through connector and it's a bit of a tight fit behind the case panel. If you have the SATA connectors that are set at 90 degrees you're probably going to find it easier to manage them.Lastly,

In my opinion this case is definely the best that £60 can pay. Has space for 3 fans on the front, 2 on top and one on the back (all 120mm), and also has a sexy glass window on the side which shows all the interior, unlike all the cases for this price point that have a metal framed glass. You can fit up to 2 SSDs(2.5") and 4 HDD(3.5"), has also a dust filter for the PSU on the bottom.The cons are a few and many are related to liquid cooling radiators: If you fit a 240mm radiator on the front, be aware that the 2.5" spaces for SSDs will be partially covered, so screw them in place BEFORE fitting the radiator. Also, to fit a 240mm rad you have to sacrifice the HDD(3.5")

Used as an upgrade from a 3 year old OEM case from ASUS prebuilt system, everything fit with ease and there was no problems during the installation of parts. Except for the HD cages since they did not specifically tell you which way to put the drive in, at first I put it in the wrong way and had to snap the drive cage holdings to get it out.With that problem out the way though it was a breeze after that, which is why I'm still giving the case 5 stars because it could be down to my novice installation.The fact a case for around £50 has a high quality tempered glass side panel and plenty areas for cable management is amazing really! I love the slightly outrageous front panel too,

As part of a new gaming PC build, my Corsair fanboy friend convinced me to spend a few pennies more on one of their cases instead of opting for a knock-off brand. Having put the new build together, I'm glad I took his advice.The case is robust, intelligently laid out, stylish yet conservative and clearly aims to make custom building a breeze. It allows all size variations of motherboard, with plenty of breathing space to plug components in and arrange cables, and offers excellent ventilation. Being a Corsair case, you can buy additional standard Corsair cooling fans and they literally fit as if they were designed for this case (which I imagine is the 'case' for all their cases), at the front,

Many reviewers have criticized this for having poor air flow, but in my time with it I have not found that to be the case (ha!), though I must admit I am using two Arctic fans. If the unique design and the low price appeal to you, then I'd say to pull the trigger.Pros-Good price-Interesting appearance-Dust filters-Three colours-Reasonably large size-One included fan (note: 3 pin)Cons-Poor and undescriptive manual that relies entirely on images and is only 5 pages long in each language.-There is an unmentioned mount for a fan at the bottom front of the case. However, to use it you must remove all the hard drive bays. This is confusing and also problematic as the top back and bottom front is the go-to location for fans,

Exceptional case for an upgrade. I've had the pleasure of building my first PC in over 10 years and having done a little of research this seemed to be a complete win-win and it has not let me down. It's carefully packaged, lightweight and well thought out. The screws for assembly are all of decent quality and I've been really impressed with general space for cable routing from all major components. There's copious amounts of notches for cable ties to keep everything and tidy. The window has a really subtle tint to it just illuminate any fans or components that aren't a distraction of being either too bright, or too dim you wouldn't notice.

Very good aesthetically, the white LED is a nice touch also. Putting everything together in the case was..okay. Biggest fault with that is there should be a little more space to work with at the back of the case so it's not a pain. That said, other side of the case, there's plenty of room. No issues whatsoever fitting parts in, my 2 and a half or 2 and 3 quarter slot 1080 ti gpu fits perfectly and it's one of the biggest recent gpu's. The rest is also fine with that. Glass side pannel looks great and easy to place. For airflow, there's certainly a noticeable room for improvement that corsair could have made, mostly just with the intake area at the front.All in all, this is a very nice case,

My Spec 04 arrived the other day and I'm over the moon with it. I had no issues installing a new build in the case and it has lots of room for clean cable managment in the main chamber and in the back. I'm using a semi modular power supply fromm corsair so this helps with keeping it tidy on the inside. The only thing I would recomend it buying another 2-3 120mm case fans as the two openings on the top could be prone to let dust in but I was planing to do this anyway. The case seems to run cool enough for general use but if your gaming or running at a heavy load the front pannel does slightly block the front case fan slightly so additional fans become a must.

Love this case for the price, though the one fan at the front is no way enough, make sure you buy more.It has all the screws and additional mounting points for different sized motherboards.The hard drive slots are clip on instead of screws, though that’s not the same for the SSD points.The only issues I would say are, if you don’t have a modular PSU, it’s a real tight fit to hide the cables on the side compartment, I had to really push it on there.The light isn’t part of the front case like I thought it was, it’s lit by the supplied fan, still looks alright though.The acrylic is seriously easy to scratch.. I went to wipe off a finger print from my son with a tissue, I ended up leaving light scratches on there...

This case is a replacement for a unbranded case I had before. That case barely had enough space for everything I had and it's fans were far from quiet so I had to get a replacement and this is the one I got after being recommended it by a friend.It has enough space for any motherboard you can think of providing it doesn't go past the ATX size, it is capable of holding any sized graphics card and it has enough room for proper cable management which is something my old case couldn't sayThe only thing I don't like about it was the tempered glass side panel that thing shattered after I carefully unscrewed it and took it off so if you are going to buy this case I recommend getting the other ones
