Question 1

So this comes with 3 fans???!?! PLEASE anwser soon! going to get this soon and i want to know if i should get another fan or not..!!

Accepted Answer

Yes, three fans; two in front and one in back.  Has room for more also, should you need it - I was able to mount a water cooler heat exchanger in the top of the case with no problems.

Question 2

Will this fit an full atx motherboard?

Accepted Answer

Yes. An ATX motherboard will fit.  The top of the motherboard will fit snug with the top of the case.  It was slightly problematic getting to the motherboard screws at the top edge of the motherboard.  Other than that, it is a great case.

Question 3

Are the lights more blue or white?

Accepted Answer

I'd say they are much more white than blue. They are soft for being LED and are by no means super bright or annoying. They suit the case's style very well in my opinion.

Question 4

Does this case come with 2 white LED fans or just one? the picture on newegg looks like it only has one LED fan in it. When i scrolled down i saw the picture of the case saying it comes with only one LED fan. However on corsair's site, it says it comes with 2 LED fans. Can anyone clarify if it comes with one or 2 LED fans? Thanks

Accepted Answer

Mine came with two LED fans. Imagine the bottom half of the front grill in the product picture lit up too.

Question 5

In this case are there pre-installed standoffs or do the come not installed?

Accepted Answer

The case comes with 9 standoffs installed but removable and relocatable with a piler or proper 5mm socket and one standoff  in the bag uninstalled. total 10 standoffs. dependents on the motherboard you are fitting into it. you might , might not needed to relocate.

Question 6

Does this come with the 6 fans? If not, how many does it come with?

Accepted Answer

The on equity the white lights comes with 2 LED fans and 1 normal fan, they are all 120 mm, the front 2 spots can be upgraded to 140mm and there are 6 spots to put fans in. Hope this helps.

Question 7

will a large GTX 580 graphics card fit in this case?

Accepted Answer

I have a 680 in my case with plenty of room to spare.

Question 8

Do you need an SSD bracket for this?

Accepted Answer

There are two ssd mounts on top of the hdd cage, pointing toward the motherboard. If that setup works for you PSU-wise, then no. If you need the ssd to face toward the back of the case like the HDD, then yes you need a bracket

Question 9

i ordered this case and in the back were the motherboard would sit on the pegs there looks to already be pegs so do i need to screw pegs into those or are they built in pegs is my question?

Accepted Answer

Ryan I though the same thing when I was putting my build together, what I found out is these are supposed to be pegs in place for a traditional ATX motherboard. If you were to use something outside of this you would need to place pegs to fit that style motherboard for example an ITX board. Hope this helps clear that up for you!

Question 10

Are there two or three fans included with this case? I have seen conflicting photos and specifications.

Accepted Answer

There are 3 new Carbide Spec Chassis. Spec 03 and Spec 02 come with 3 fans, 2 LED and 1 rear exhaust fan, both brushless... the only difference between the Spec 03 and 02 are the design, other than they are exactly the same. The Spec 01 comes with 2 fans. 1 LED and 1 rear exhaust.
