are you in the market for a really nice case that won't break the bank how about a case that's under $100 has a lot of features and is very well made let's check out Corsairs latest case the spec Omega right off the bat visually speaking you guys can see that the carbide series spec Omega case has a really nice look to it and let's just face it the very first thing that we look at we're going to purchase the case before we look at specs or anything else we're taking a look at how the case looks because let's just face it you're gonna have to be staring at that case for a long time with your system in it now the carbide series spec Omega it's made of steel and as a tempered glass window and as a mid-tower ATX case has a lot of different features the particular one that we're looking at today is black and white and the spec Omega does come in a few different colors they also have a black and red and a strictly black one as well the spec Omega also does have a little bit of plastic on the exterior and obviously the feet themselves are made of plastic but most of the build is made of steel as far as the dimensions go the spec Omega size is in at 495 millimeters by 232 millimeters by 516 millimeters checking out the front of the spec Omega you guys can see it's two different colors in this build the left-hand side is black the right-hand side is white and it was also a tempered glass window in the front so you can see your nice build so if you want to use RGB fans and show them off you can see them right through the front all the controls for the speckle mega are also conveniently located in the front of the case on the very top you have your on and off button you have two USB 3.0 ports a mic jack an audio jack the hard drive indicator and at the very bottom the restart button you guys can also see on the very front of the speckle Mega that on the bottom there's a little screen this is for additional airflow through the case the right-hand side of the speckle Mega is very very simple just a standard black panel and on the top of the spec Omega you guys can see an additional grille this is for helping to evacuate all that heat away from the system take a look at the rear of the spec Omega you guys can see on the very top left hand side that's where your motherboard is going to go in to the right of that a single 120 millimeter fan down below that in the left you can see seven expansion slots and the very bottom space for your power supply and you can use any standard ATX power supply in this system and to make sure that no dust gets inside of your power supply on the very bottom of the case is removable filter so if it gets dirty you can just clean it off and keep your power supply nice and clean real quick before we jump inside of the case let's talk about how easy this case is to disassemble most of the parts come off by a simple thumb screw the only thing that's different is the window itself this window requires an allen wrench that comes in with the kit for you to remove it now that we disassembled the case you guys can see the interior of the case very clearly now what's interesting about this case though is in the very front of this case you can actually use a 360 millimeter rat that's right you can use a 280 or 360 right in the front however on the top and the rear of the case you can only install a 240 millimeter rad and in the front of the case you guys can see there's a single 120 millimeter LED fan now on the front as far as mounting fans you can mount 320 millimeter fans or 240 millimeter fans on the top you can do two hundred and twenty millimeter fans or two hundred and forty millimeter fans and on the rear you can use a single 120 millimeter fan or like I said a 240 millimeter rad as far as your driveway expansion goes you have three 3.5 inch bays and two 2.5 inch base there's plenty of expandability there for your hard drives or SSDs like I said earlier this case can use an ATX power supply but the maximum length of the PSU is 200 millimeters the spec Omega can support micro ATX ATX and mini ITX motherboard like I said no extended ATX motherboards inside the spec Omega and if you happen to be wondering hey Eric well my cooler fit inside the case well from your motherboard to the window you have a hundred and seventy millimeters of link so that's the maximum CPU cooler right inside the spec Omega and for video cards the maximum GPU length is 370 millimeters so like I said at the very beginning of the video this particular case comes to market at $99 and it comes in a bunch of different versions you can get one that's solid black you can get one that red and black or you can get one that's white and black so a few different color coordination z' there now a couple of things i didn't talk about why we're going to the video is actually how well made the case actually is internally in the old days and you got a case you had to worry about man if i go inside this case am i gonna cut myself up is it going to like her injure me honestly this was a serious concern but everything about this brand-new carbide series case is excellent it's very well made the tempered glass is very nice it's not cheap plastic you can see through it very clearly and it's also a lot easier to clean than cheap plastic stuff as well cheap plastic tub depending on the chemicals used will streak or get blurry and just absolutely look like crap after a while so for $99 i have to say man the spec omega is a serious editor's choice product here on TECA tomorrow it has all kinds of great features like I said it's not going to fit you know any external ATX motherboard so you're not gonna be able fit those giant size motherboards but anything from a standard motherboard all the way down as those mini ITX boards will fit inside of it it'll look really nice the colors are appealing so just overall I have to say that everything about this case is really really nice now I know some people out there probably going to say oh my god Eric you're not beating it up anywhere well because there's really not anything really to beat up here for the price at $99 that's a very nice price point it's under $100 it's aesthetically pleasing it has enough USB 3.0 ports on the front to make it viable really nothing here - honestly complain about I guess you could complain say gee it should be even cheaper but at the end of the day this is a very solid case editors choice here in Tekken tomorrow thanks for watching love to hear your comments down below and we'll see you guys back in here for more tech here on TECA tomorrow
