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...

Computer cases at the lower-end of the range are always intriguing to analyse because it's a tough challenge for manufacturers to apply a low-price tag while still retaining an acceptable level of quality/features.Corsair's new Carbide Series SPEC-04 brea...

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...

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...

With any piece of hardware built for a “budget” build, I immediately begin to question its build quality. I found the Spec-04 Tempered Glass to be worthy of Corsair's name. Corsair has a reputation of building hardware that meets and exceeds the users exp...

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...
