Spec 01

[Madmullen]

Hi guys decided to get a Corsair Carbide Spec 01 as I wanted to see if I could get all my kit from my 750d in it.
I would show you the cable mangement but I dont want to take the side panel off, you need to be very patient and work out how you are going to run the cables.
So here it is and I am really happy with the results:
But I might add some lighting

Case:Corsair Carbide Series Spec 01
Motherboard: Asrock 990FX Extreme4
CPU: Amd FX(tm)6300 six core Black Edition 3.5Mhz (overclocked 4.1Mhz)
Ram:Corsair Vengence 16GB Dual Channel @ 1600MHZ
Graphics: MSI Geforce GTX760
Sound: Onbrd
HDD: Baracuda 1TB
HDD: Toshiba 250GB
PSU: Corsiar RM Series 650W
Aerocool X-Vision 5 Channel LCD Fan Controller

Cooling: Corsair Hydro H105 running in Push Pull (Corsair 2 x SP120mm,
2XSP120mm)
Corsair 2 X SP120mm and 1 SP120mm Red Led all exhaust.

Very good job. Its amazing how clean that cable management is for a cheap case. How's the build quality?

 

[tinytomlogan]

Not a bad look dude

 

[Damo666]

Goes to show that there are some great cases at very good prices

Great build there mate

 

[Madmullen]

Case quality is very good I don`t think there is anyone else that is offering this series of cases at the price and build.

Great job on getting all the bits into the case in a neat way. I find it refreshing that there are smaller cases that can do the job. It seems that a lot of peeps have a case that looks empty, but neat in larger cases. That seems like a waste to me.

I had a rethink on the layout of the case and spent yesterday doing a couple of things.
I managed to fit 2 x Corsair AF140mm in the front of the case behind the front bezel , so I removed 2 of the SP120mm off the rad still getting a push pull config but this free`s a some more space in the case.
I wanted to have my hard drives in a more accessible positions as they where all cable tied in various places, so after a little modding I was able to fit a Corsair 750d drive caddy in the case.
I fitted a optical bay (BOO goes Tom) but I do have a lot of old games that still need the DVD player to run.
Added a couple of more pics.

Rip ISOs and mount them?

Anyway, nice look! It's not a bad looking case for the price, but I'm still not keen on the front grill.

 

[Madmullen]

I was thinking of modding the front grill with a couple of these

or something similar

Its been a while since I have posted, so thought I start with what Ive done so far with my Spec01.

I will start rebuild at the weekend.

Looks good!

Did you mount you CPU cooler on front out of choice or necessity?

 

[Madmullen]

I mount at the front for a push pull configuration, I could mount at the top but only in push, plus I would loose the exhaust fan as well.
I have been looking at modding the top of the case by moving the rad towards the 5inch bay but I would need to drill a few holes for fitting and extraction of heat. I don`t like having items outside the case which could be done but I like clean lines.

 

[Wraith]

Are you painting the rest of it white? If not I do like the clean white internals but the roof just looks out of place to me.

 

[Madmullen]

I have now finished painting the case
Here are a couple of pics, I have also included a couple of pics of the MB update which will be put in the case at the weekend.

 

[Madmullen]

Pc now rebuilt looks good here`s a few pics

 

[Feronix]

Love what you've done to it matey. Proof that you don't need an £∞ case to make a beautiful build

 

[WYP]

Loving the white painted interior.

 

[Madmullen]

Thanks guys, just waiting for the new Corsair SP120 led fans to come out then I think it will look even better.

 

[Wraith]

Nice! Very nice in fact, much better with the top panel black.. It really pops now with all the white internals.

 

[Pogal_31]

Love the paint job and how everything pops out inside. Great build mate !
