THE SPEC-OMEGA RGB EXTERIOR

Measuring 516mm in height, 495mm in length/depth and 232mm in width/thickness the Spec-Omega RGB is a medium-sized mid-tower.

In terms of design and size the new Spec-Omega RGB is identical to its predecessor (seen on the right).

Both towers feature a right side panel made out of tempered glass which for reasons unknown is held in place by Allen screws (perhaps CORSAIR wanted to increase safety for LAN events?).

The fascia is a combination of plastic and tempered glass.

The I/O is located at the front and includes the on/off power button with its LED, two USB 3.0 ports, headphones and microphone 3.5mm ports, HDD activity LED and the reset button.

Worth pointing out is that the fascia on both cases features a LED strip however it's white for the original Spec-Omega and RGB for the Spec-Omega RGB.

A large plastic mesh is placed at the top of the towers underneath which there's enough room either for two 120/140mm fans or a 240/280mm radiator (unfortunately an air-filter is not available).

The same goes for the front since here you have enough room either for three 120/140mm fans or a 240/280/360mm radiator.

Same as the LED strip the new Spec-Omega RGB features an pre-installed 120mm HD120 RGB fan while its predecessor features an 120mm white LED fan.

The rear is also identical in both models with sole difference the fans used (120mm HD120 RGB in the Spec-Omega RGB and regular 120mm in the Spec-Omega).

Moving at the base of both towers we find a small removable air-filter and a thumbscrew used to hold the internal 3.5" drive cage in place.
