Corsair SPEC-01 case?

GeorgeKellow

That's an okay case. Good airflow and decent cable management, but if you're going for a psu with thick sleeved cables, you'll have a tight squeeze, this case also has no dust filters, so dust will be a massive issue. If your budget can stretch an extra £20, go for a Phanteks Enthoo Pro M, much better build quality, better cable management, dust filters and much more internal space in the motherboard area as hard drives, your psu and its cables are kept in the lower compartment. Its also a lot more future proof as it has ample space for a 280mm radiator, liquid cooling pumps and a lot of storage options in terms of ssd and hdd bays. The only problem is you will have to buy an extra case fan for the front. A decent 140mm static pressure fan will run you about £12. But its definitely worth it.

Since this case can take dual 140mm front fans, its definitely worth it getting two of these fans for lots of intake airflow. You'll get impressive temps and no dust.

If you want to stick with the Corsair Carbide series the Spec 02 has filters on it and comes with two fans instead of one. 

Hope this helps

Yeah, it it's worth a go if you're up for the cable management.
