Corsair Carbide Spec-Omega RGB Chassis Review

A Closer Look – Interior


With that lovely glass panel removed, you can see there’s plenty of room in here for sexy hardware. The black exterior matches the interior perfectly, so your hardware will be the primary focus here.

Cable routing is well catered for also, with plenty of routing holes and grommets where you’ll need them. I love the addition of a two-piece PSU shroud; it’ll hide the PSU and 3.5″ HDD bays, which still providing GPU power cable pass-through.

RGB Fans

Tucked into the front, a lovely 120mm Corsair RGB fan is sure to throw out lots of light. There’s room up front for a 360mm radiator too, if you’re eager to water cool your next gaming system.

In the back, you’ll find plenty of room for expansion cards. The chassis supports up to an ATX motherboard and seven expansion slots as you would expect.

More RGB

In the top rear, another one of those lovely RGB fans, giving us two in total. Both fans use a standard 3-pin fan header. However, they have their own RGB cables that are pre-wired to the lighting control hubs in the back of the chassis.

Up top, some 120/140mm fan spacings, although I doubt radiators will fit, you do have a 360mm radiator mount in the front which is more than enough. Furthermore, you can comfortably fit a 120mm AIO in the rear too.

Behind the motherboard, there’s certainly a lot going on. Here you can see the extensive cable routing options. However, space does look quite limited, but there are loads of cable tie loops to keep things tight.

Hub Control

The PSU shroud is fantastic, as it’ll hide a fair bit of cable gore as required. Furthermore, on the rear of it, you’ll find the first part of the Lighting Pro hub for all your RGB needs.

Towards the front, there are two 3.5″ tool-free hard drive bays. The whole thing is removable too, so if you want extra cable cramming room, you have that option also.

Extra Storage

2.5″ SSD/HDDs get plenty of love too, with a bank of three dedicated stealth mounts. Each can be removed via a thumb screw for easy installations.

Towards the front, a second part of the RGB lighting control hub. This one offers the USB to motherboard connection, allowing you to use Corsair software for added customisation and control.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
