This case is the centerpiece of my build. It looks very nice at night with its red led fan lighting up at the front. I have lots of space inside the case so i have space to upgrade in the future. If you have a red and black build it would look perfect in this case.

- Very cheap; - Looks nice; - Red led fan; - Lots of options

- Not much space for cable management

Known for their excellent computer cases, Corsair are now a household name in this competitive arena. Whilst there are many series to choose from within their portfolio of cases, they aren't synonymous with being particularly affordable and so Corsair has decided to switch the focus and appeal to...

+ Easy on the eye; + Affordable to all; + Great feature-set for price; + Can add up to five cooling fans; + Excellent graphics card support

I really like the Spec-01, it stands out from the crowd in terms of design, mostly due to the aggressive, yet somehow understated front panel. Budget friendly chassis are often a little cheap feeling, with glossy plastics and thin metal panels, but that really isn't the case here.

Good build quality; Stylish design; Room for a long graphics card; Dust filtering on front intake and PSU mount; Capable cable routing; Very competitive price

One one pre-installed fan; More USB 3.0 ports on front panel would have been nice

These Corsair SPEC series are sold at an amazing price tag. One even starts to wonder how much profit can still be made with decent quality builds at this price level. The Carbide SPEC 01, is Corsair's lowest entry level offering, close to being considered as an OEM builder chassis.

Really nice case. First time building a PC and chose this case for my build. I wanted to get a good budget case that had a side panel window. Comes with a front fan and has 4 additional spots for extra fans. Cable management was pretty simple, no big issues tucking the wires.

We all know that Corsair make some of the best cases on the market, we also know that they do "High End" extremely well. What has perhaps been missing from their world dominating line up though is a decent value for money gaming case. Enter then the Spec-01.

Was skeptical about my GPU and large heat sink fitting in this but it turned out great and is nice and tidy, psu sits nicely at the bottom too.

Cool, good amout of fans, smooth

Corsair has been making some brilliant high end PC cabinets and it now seeks to capture the budget gamer market with its Carbide Spec series. We will be reviewing each of the three Spec series [...]

Excellent design with thoughtful touches; Great internal clearance; Good value for money; Good Build Quality

Top side of case can get cramped; Cables might show in gap between drive bays; No handles for ease of carrying around

Corsair SPEC-01 is a nice mid tower case that can help you to make a decent gaming build. It brings all latest features on your pc like tool less drive bays, cable management, multiple fan mount, etc. All this features are hard to find in regular tower.

Good Design and lightweight; Cable Management; Tool Less Drive Bays
