How Much Does it Cost?Amazingly, the Corsair Carbide Series Spec-04 Tempered Glass chassis is available for just £55.99. You can get the older acrylic panel version for even less at just £47.52. However, I would pay the extra for the glass, it's a much ni...

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...

Low price, I/O panel is fixed to the core chassis, Five drive bays, Open structure makes the PC build easy
Largest supported liquid cooler is 140mm, There is no noise deadening material, The top is open and unfiltered, Cable management is fairly minimal
We expected very little from the Corsair Carbide SPEC-04 and it defied our expectations. The recommended retail price in the UK is said to be around £55 inc vat although as we publish immediately after NDA breaks, no etailer is yet listing it. We will upd...
