We can best describe the Corsair Carbide SPEC-04 as an ATX case that comes with a bargain basement price and a specification to match. Or, to put it another way, it's a fairly basic case. You get an acrylic window in the main panel and a couple of USB 3.0...

At £55, the Spec-04 was never going to blow us away. Corsair is evidently looking to entice gamers on a budget with the aggressive design and LED fan, and the chassis is otherwise designed to be simple to work with and capable of housing a standard gaming...

Other than the glass panel, the Spec04 remains unchanged from its initial implementation. You have an angular front panel that's roughly half mesh and half solid and comes with a red trim, and this is fitted to a mostly plain steel chassis with an extrud...
Our opinion at the time of the original Spec-04 review was that while it was a functional case, its £55 launch price was too high and put it in competition with cases that offered considerably more. That case is now below £45, which is more reasonable, bu...

It's been while since we've reviewed a budget case, so with this in mind we thought we'd take a look at the brand new Spec 04 from Corsair. At under £50 it's certainly inexpensive. However, it'll still need to cut the mustard if we're to rate it, and espe...

Corsair's Carbide Series Spec-04 case and its aggressive front panel will turn heads in the sea of black rectangles typical of today's inexpensive chassis. The Tempered Glass, or TG, version of the case that I'm reviewing today adds a window made from thi...
Corsair's $60 Spec-04 TG makes a valiant effort to bring the aesthetic appeal of tempered glass to an affordable price point. The distinctive front panel and edge-to-edge sheet of glass on the side of the case definitely serve to catch the eye and mark t...

The base SPEC-04 is $49.99 (Amazon/Newegg), and as far as I can tell the TG variant is the exact same case with a $10 tempered glass panel (expected retail price is $59). Is that panel worth the extra money, given that cheaper cases with more features out...
