Corsair Carbide Spec 04 Review

Corsair Carbide Spec 04 Review  

Introduction

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 especially if we’re to award it our coveted “Value” award.  First impressions are that it’s a very light case,with a quick glance at the specs telling us it tips the scales at just 4.2kg.  Let’s hope that Corsair haven’t cut back too much and made a case with the structural integrity of a crisp packet.  For more detail let’s have a look at that all important Technical Specification
