So I'm looking to build or buy a custom case for my computer and was wondering if anyone had anyone experience they would share. On its own the protocase design tool will be amazingly useful as its free and appears to be easy to use, but I personally don't think I have the skills and I definitely don't have the tools to custom build with metal and such. I've heard protocase is really good from this community and they appear to be, but how is cost as that is my largest limiting factor. I don't have any physical drawing or templates yet to work from but the idea I have more or less will look like a really nice test bench, except its gonna be my case, the major difference from a test bench is if possible I would love a tempered glass top to cover the components, though cheaper materials like acrylic would still suffice. From this does anybody have any influence, advice, experience, or help. Thanks

As title states, at the micro center near me there is a sale which is making a 2700x cheaper than the 3600 I was going to upgrade to. Do y'all think this is a good deal, and if so would the b450 I planned on upgrading with still work on a 2700x. I use my computer for light, and I stress light, creator workloads I mostly game on it.
