You can see the three exterior styles of the Corsair Carbide SPEC-04 below, a black enclosure with a tinted side panel window and your choice or red, yellow or grey highlights on the front panel.

The front panel design is for more than just show, the depth allows your front fans to be installed between the case body and the front panel, leaving you more room in the interior for components and making it easier to swap the fans.  It also leaves enough space that the audio and USB plugs as well as the power buttons can be side mounted.

The case is 492x201x433mm (19.4×7.9×17") in size, and the interior of the case can hold GPUs of up to 370mm in length with ease.  There is space for three 3.5" HDDs and two 2.5" SDDs and enough cutouts to ensure even fully populated you will not have cable clutter showing through the side panel.  The front panel allows the installation of two 120/140mm fans, the top can accomodate a pair of 120mm fans, or radiator if you prefer, with one more 120mm fan or radiator on the back.
