Hi guys a couple of days ago i was wondering what case to get and some great people helped me out and i came down to the decision to get the NZXT H700 (non i) however I've just seen a new case called "Carbide SPEC-06 RGB " and i was wondering if anyone has had any experience building in it and if you would recommend it. To me the case looks beautiful and thats why i wanted to double check. Thanks x

I actually looked into this case for a friend. First things that came to mind is "compact mid-tower budget RGB" case is how they are marketing this. First they aren't focusing on airflow, but looks; TG, RGB, side mounted gpu.. Also the side mounted brackets will trap heat below the gpu and give you a bump in 2-3 degrees by not removing the brackets.

 

Not a recommended case. Stick with the H700 and be happy.

Best & worst cases for your money in 2018 are:

 

Best Cases overall

 

I) Fractal Design Meshify C - Airflow and relatively quiet, best all around case

I) Phanteks Enthoo Pro M / Special Edition (white interior) - Airflow & full water cooling support

I) Fractal Define R6 - Silent with decent airflow

I) Be Quiet! DB 900 (Full Tower) - Airflow and silent 

I) Fractal Design Meshify C mini (mATX)

I) Corsair 400C - Only use with low end components, no 1080 / TI

I) Phanteks 350X - Only use with low end components, no 1080 / TI

I) Fractal Design Focus G

 

Cases that may be worth your money

 

I) Thermaltake G21 - GPU and CPU cooling issues, modest tweaking
I) Silverstone RL06 / Pro - Mustard/Ketchup wires, Shitty cable management, Poor front radiator support, useless psu filter, stupid ssd layout
I) In Win 303

I) Coolermaster H500 no suffix - if 200mm fans are your thing

I) NZXT H700 non "i" version - Needs to come down in price to be worth it

I) Corsair Carbide 100R - Suitable for low end builds

 

The worst cases - Do Not Buy

 

I) NZXT S340/Elite, H500, H440 (everything except the H700) Reason: Poor airflow
I) Coolermaster Masterbox 5

Majority of cases on the market

Carbide SPEC-06 is a bad case by all means. Stick with what you have
