I usually don't answer the question with another one but why on Earth do you need a case with 8+ fans?

The automobile has shifted from air cooling to water cooling by measures against the heat of the engine. I think that there is no choice but to make your own from an aluminum panel if you place importance on the appearance.

I never saw any case with that many fans mounts. Fewer fans with proper air flow setup will work better and more efficient. Normally, 4 or 5 fans is more than enough.

8 fans seem exaggerated.
I think 4 fans in the following order: 1 frontal, air input mode of 120 mm, 2 in the side panel, air input mode of 80 mm, 1 on the rear side of the case, air output mode of 120 mm.
In reality 3 fans could be enough IMO, 1 frontal, air input mode and 1 on the rear side, air output mode.
Another one, air output mode, if you want but it is a surplus.

3 fans are enough....2 in front and 1 at the end for the "fireplace effect"

Why have 8 fans when you can have 18!!!
Lol jk!
In all seriousness, I agree with the recommendations of 3-4 fans properly setup.

As the name of 'cooling fan', this is cool! I can understand the feeling that I want this.
In reality, thinking about the rectification of air and installing several fans would be fine, but I think that the shape of the PC case needs a little charm.
A few years later, a hybrid PC with a motherboard incorporated in the refrigerator may be circulating. There is a danger of 'freezing' on both sides of hard and soft.

Hehe, I agree. I'll be fully honest, when I first heard that Corsair was making this case I was like OMG!! here's my wallet I want one now! Not to mention you can have 2 computers in this case, as it can house an E-ATX and an ITX motherboard at the same time! I like the fridge idea, not only can it house your computer, it can also hold your beverage of choice
Sorry I missed your question earlier. I think both cases will serve you well. To be honest, I believe that choosing case is very much a personal choice. Aside from looking at features and cooling capacity, there is also the look/style of the case which in IMO, is a personal decision. For example, some people might like the look of the Spec-04, some might not. My suggestion to you would be to pick the case that has the features you want and the look/style you are going for. I know this is not a definitive answer to your question, but as I mentioned, I don't think you can go wrong with either choice. Depending on your budget, maybe also take a look at Fractal Design, Silverstone, Phanteks, etc... , there are many great choices out there. With that said, Corsair does make some very good cases IMHO.
