Corsair Spec Omega RGB Mid Tower Case - Worth It?

2018-05-17
hey what's going on tech fans today we're gonna be checking out one of the cases from the carbide Series from Corsair this is the spec Omega RGB now we've already reviewed the spec Omega but this is a speckle make up RGB that's right which means you know guess what it has to RGB fans in it and the price difference between the two is about fifty dollars but if you buy the fans by themselves they're about $60 so buying it all on the unit itself is saving you about ten dollars roughly which is still pretty cool it's not like some grand thing but you're still saving money now this case is pretty cool-looking the only real caveat that I have against it at all is if they claim that the airflow coming for the case is like perfectly grand well the front panel is non removable so there is going to be some type of airflow restriction now how bad that's actually going to be it's probably not going to be that bad but if the airflow is coming directly through the entire case I think that would be just a little bit better now this particular version also has a tempered glass window so the case is made of steel and tempered glass it fits any motherboard up to midday TXI so if you don't really worry about what motherboards are gonna fit if you're trying to get some of those extended ATX motherboards and stuff like that you might want to choose a bigger case but for most builds this should be pretty cool and as far as the case expansion slots you get seven you can fit a 370 millimeter length video card you have a hundred and eighty millimeters as far as your power supply goes and from your motherboard to the window you get 170 millimeters of space which means you can pretty much put any of the liquid coolers from Corsair and their or aftermarket stuff or most of the air coolers will also fit inside it as well as far as how many hard drives you can stick in the system or SSDs you get two 3.5 inch bays and three 2.5 inch bays on the back of the case there is adequate room for doing your cable management stuff so you don't have to worry about that and the rest of the case actually does disassemble pretty easily I mean I wish the front panel came off that would have been totally awesome but you can take off the top you can take off the back you can remove the front all that good stuff now when you buy this case directly from the manufacturer it comes with to RGB fans already built inside of it one in the front one in the back these are completely controlled with the Q software and it's controlled by their lightning note hardware so as far as the lighting goes and all that stuff it's pretty easy to use and you do get a lot of different flavors now one thing that would have been even cooler though is if it actually came with lighting strips inside the case but I mean that's probably a little bit overkill the fans themselves to say light up so bright we'll probably be adequate to do all your RGB that you're looking for the front itself does light up but it's a little bit different than having lighting strips and as far as your fan expansion goes on the front you can fit 320 millimeter fans or you can fit a single 360 millimeter radiator on top you can do two of those fans or a 240 millimeter radiator on the very back of the case you can fit a single fan or a single 120 millimeter radiator in the past I've purchased cases that felt really flimsy you guys know what I mean when you're putting the case together you're billing it just feels kind of junky this doesn't feel like that whatsoever and internally there are absolutely no sharp edges at all that's something that's a real Kabat to me I hate working inside of a case and then cutting my hand while I'm doing the build because you just get frustrated and pissed off when you're trying to do the cable management inside of this though is perfectly cleanly nice and smooth you don't have to worry about that whatsoever also many cases that I've gotten in the past they just feel like they're not really secure like when you stand them up they feel like you just barely touch it it's going to fall over with the feet on the spec Omega you don't have to worry about that whatsoever this case also has a full two year warranty so if anything happens in that two years you guys need to get yourself a new case now as far as the air filtration goes on the bottom you have a single nice little removable fan on top you get very nice filtration and in the front it's just kind of okay another thing I do like about the case design is the shroud that covers the power supply let's just face it nobody really wants to see the power supply I mean unless it's all flashy er looks like a piece of gold it's just kind of there and a lot of times as a bunch of riding and stuff on it and it really takes away from the beating elegance you know of your builds look so having a nice route that keeps it completely enclosed I actually think that's a plus and when you put your motherboard inside of the case you don't have to worry about a bunch of weird wiring because all the wiring comes inside of the case and it hooks up very easily to your motherboard and like I said again I just want to reiterate this is behind the case in the back there is plenty of room for cable management so you can get all your cables back there tuck them all in nice and make your case just totally clean so that all that airflow just goes all the way through unconstructed now I know some people have said oh so-and-so from this site said that that really doesn't matter well I don't care what they say to me if I have air flow coming through and there's something in the way of it that is constricting the air flow that's just my opinion you agree to you don't but it is what it is all right folks sold there you have it a pretty short video but you know it's a case it's the carbide series spec Omega RGB if you guys would like to check out our og video on the spec Omega and we'll have a link below for you guys to check that out as well as this like always I always want to hear your guys's comments so please leave your comments interaction down below we're an online family so let's have a discussion peace out we'll see you guys back here on teka tomorrow for more tech
