BUILDING THE SYSTEM

As always the purpose of this section is not to build a functional system but rather to showcase what you can expect from the case at hand in terms of interior space.

Once the PSU shroud/cover is removed both towers are identical in terms of interior space (because of that we’ll be just using the RGB version from this point forward).

Mounting a 2.5” drive in the rear tray is very easy, just push it into place as seen above.

An ATX sized mainboard doesn’t leave that much free space inside the case but more than what one could expect.

As stated earlier you can mount up to 360mm radiators at the front and 280mm at the top with any thickness you want (however over 30mm thick and you will either need to remove the drive cage or place the fans in the fascia – likewise the fan area at the top is in the removable plastic cover).

Also with enough room for 170mm tall CPU coolers you should have no problem choosing one.

The 7 holes above the PCI expansion slot thumbscrews may not look very important but it’s a feature we’d certainly like to see with other cases by CORSAIR (including their Obsidian 900D).

Mounting a long graphics card like our GTX 590 (286mm long) doesn’t leave much space until the front radiator/fans so do keep that in mind.

Our usual PSU might just be too long for the Spec-Omega cases (if you remove the drive cage however there’s no limit in length).

Finally here you can see the original Spec-Omega and the Spec-Omega RGB fascia to have a better understanding about their main difference.
