If you are familiar with Fractal Design you probably know their Core and Define case series. These are the company's most popular and you will find quite a lot of cases in each series.

Back in October of 2017 we looked at a budget-oriented case from Corsair, the SPEC-04. Jump forward a few months to CES 2018, and we were presented with a new case from Corsiar's Carbide series, the SPEC-OMEGA. Packing a similar angular design as other recent SPEC cases, the SPEC-OMEGA is a mid-tower ATX case with bold looks. Add in support for plenty of cooling, as well as some integrated lighting and tempered glass side panel, and you have the makings of a pretty good case. Let's see if the SPEC-OMEGA lives up to our exSPECtations.

It is almost a requirement for any new case to feature tempered glass of some sort, usually in the case of a side panel. The tempered glass trend has been around for a while now, and some manufacturers are taking a look at some of their previous designs and incorporating glass side panels where they deem it to be appropriate. Corsair is not one to slack behind, and they have just released the SPEC-04 Tempered Glass, a slightly re-designed version of their popular Carbide Series SPEC-04 budget case that now includes a tempered glass side panel, for just $69.
