Corsair Carbide SPEC-06

[cdavidsson]

Just a quick and straight to the point question, does anyone know if it is possible to "mod" the SPEC-06 and use the top ventilation holes to mount a second 140mm fan in the top. This is pretty much the only thing keeping me from buying this case straight away since I can no longer find Be Quiet! Pure Base 500 where I live anymore.. so yeah, is it possible?

It's possible to probably just use large washer and go through the honeycomb mesh as Sushimus has mentioned. I won't line up perfectly but that would be the easiest option. Other than that there isn't a easy way to go about cutting slots and then a plate or slotted channel to house the fasteners.

Thank you for the response, I'm figuring that perhaps I could mount the additional fan in the front "rails" and then perhaps use zip ties on the other side.. I can't understand why Corsair didn't make slots for a 2nd 140 fan to begin with but oh well.. Thank you again..

Only thing I can really think of is if you have very tall VRM heatsinks the fans or rad can interfere with it but long as you have enough space it'll be good.

i swear that case manufacturers make "problems" in there cases to only fix em later on and sell them as feature (oh look we fix a problem now give us more money!)
