“If you’re looking for an affordable and stylish chassis for your next gaming system
The Corsair Spec-04 is going to be a great addition to your build.”
Abstract: So today Corsair is introducing their new Spec case and typically I would check it out in one of our traditional case reviews. I've done this so many times in the past, in fact I counted, we have done 112 case reviews over the past 9 to 10 years. To do so...
Tempered Glass side panel, Room for up to six 120mm fans, Enough space for full-sized graphics cards, Price
Narrow width results in less cable management options, Only a single 120mm fan included, No cutouts above motherboard
Heralded as a budget-friendly case, the Corsair SPEC-04 Tempered Glass provides many features found on pricier cases for just $69. And while the majority of the case is a thin steel composition, the tempered glass side panel really ups the appearance of t...
Tempered glass at a very affordable price, Small form factor with plentiful cooling options, good GPU and PSU support
Listed dimensions are not accurate (waiting for correction/confirmation by Corsair), Only one fan included stock, Ratings:
The base SPEC-04 is $49.99 (Amazon/Newegg), and as far as I can tell the TG variant is the exact same case with a $10 tempered glass panel (expected retail price is $59). Is that panel worth the extra money, given that cheaper cases with more features out...
Abstract: A sleek, modern design makes Corsair's Carbide SPEC-04 stand out. It has everything you'd be expecting for a case and it does so at a very affordable price: under $50 USD. It's lightweight, roomy, and extremely stylish. It also comes with everything neede...

Corsair's SPEC-04 is a new mid-tower aimed squarely at the budget market. The case shares its price and much of its hardware with the aged SPEC-01, but with the alien, angular appearance of the SPEC-ALPHA, channeling the aesthetics of the once-$80 case...
Simple, pragmatic, and well-priced, the Corsair Carbide SPEC-04 is a good fit for gamers on a budget. Unlike its predecessors, its sharp angles are equally appealing in the office as it is in the game room. Top it off with the contrasting luster from its...

Although the styling might not be to everybody's taste, it can't be denied that the Spec-04 is a cracking case for the money. At a smidge under £50 we weren't expecting bells and whistles, but that said, it does tick all the relevant boxes. First of all...
Affordable, Good airflow, Removable HDD cage (with screws)
Limited liquid cooling support, Ships with only one fan, No dust filter on top fan mount
The Carbide SPEC-04 is a basic and budget cabinet. The beauty of this cabinet is that even though there aren't any premium features but you will still be able to assemble a powerful gaming rig inside. It's certainly refreshing from the SPEC-03 while missi...
The Corsair Carbide SPEC-04 doesn't intend to blow us away or to put us in awe. It's an inexpensive (gaming) case meant for system builders who have limited budget but still needs the essentials and decent airflow capability (both intake and exhaust).Let'...
