Review on πŸ”₯ Enhance Your Build with the CORSAIR CARBIDE SPEC 06 Mid Tower Tempered: Exceptional Style and Functionality at its Finest! by Marc Zitnik

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Beautiful, functional housing at a reasonable price.

I have to say this is a very very good buy as an upgrade to a crappy old case I had. Spending a little more money on an RGB model is totally worth it! This thing looks snazzy and I also took advantage of the side GPU mounting bracket. The case does NOT come with a PCI-e adapter cable so I had to buy one - the only problem was that the one I got was too long in the connector where it connects to the GPU's PCI connector, and hit the bottom of the case. So what I did (instead of buying a 90 degree PCI adapter cable) was I partially cropped the edges of the hex grill above the PSU. Then I lowered the grate a bit, and it's not even noticeable. Moral of the story: If you want to mount your GPU vertically in this case, BUY a vertical 90 degree PCI-e cable! However, I like this case, it was just stupidity on my part, definitely not the manufacturer's fault. I like how the case fits 4 SSDs and 2 HDDs. I'm lucky because I actually have 2 SSDs and 2 HDDs, so there's room for expansion if I need them in the future. The cooling possibilities are huge in this case - bottom, front, back and top! Dust filters are very useful in my carpeted room. Also, the case already had two fans, which was very helpful, especially since my old system had some noisy replacement fans that I found in older computers! The legs are high enough to keep it on the carpet where I have it, thanks for that. I love that there are alternative low profile screws if you want them to replace the larger thumbscrews for the tempered glass side. I immediately replaced them and placed a small magnet on the back of the case (away from internal components, just in case!) to install the allen key you need to loosen the flat screws. All in all it is very dynamic. case

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Infinitely sluggish
