Corsair Expands PC Case Line with a Carbide Series SPEC Gaming Cases
Corsair has announced the Carbide Series SPEC range of gaming PC cases in three models: the SPEC-01, SPEC-02, and SPEC-03.
All three SPEC cases have been designed with PC gamers in mind, stripping out the unnecessary and leaving a lean looking chassis. The cases boast USB 3.0 ports, native SSD mounts, and extensive cable-routing options, as well as a large side panel window to show off the hardware inside. The black-painted interior is optimized for unobstructed airflow to the PC's hottest components, with a front-mounted LED fan providing cooling. The cases also feature tool-free drive bays and removable dust filters.
There's plenty of room to expand inside too, with support for even the longest graphics cards, front fan mounts for dual 140mm and 120mm fans, and seven expansion slots.
The SPEC-01 case has a suggested retail price of $49.99 USD and the SPEC-02 and SPEC-03 cases have suggested retail prices of $59.99 USD. The cases will be available in April and are backed with a limited 2-year warranty.
