I have recently been looking at parts to build a new PC. As I research, I like to make sure to do my best to find the best value to price ratio products whilst also maintaining a high enough quality for my liking. Through my research ( which I started yesterday 28/05/20) I have found that the market for ATX cases has some very good options at the moment for affordable prices (UK at least).
Looking specifically at mid-towers for a high standard i9-9900k-2070 super build which can be compact to move around if necessary, I've found three (maybe five) cases that could be very suitable and would like to get some feedback from owners of these specific products down below!
Firstly, we have the BeQuiet Pure Base 500DX which honestly has a great overall score from good thermals to low noise levels. This is a very interesting option but what holds me back is the looks of the other contenders which, for me, are better. Price £90-£100 | 3 fans included
Secondly, the Phanteks P400A. Also a great overall performer, possibly even better than the 500DX. The looks on this case suit my style much more and, for the same price and size, it looks like a slightly better option. Price £90 | 3 fans included
Thirdly, the best looking contender of the bunch, the Cooler Master TD500 mesh. The benchmarks used for this "review" have all been taken from Gamers Nexus' Youtube reviews on the cases to try to maintain a controlled variable. However the fact that a review from them of the Cooler Master case hasn't come out yet, means that this can be a biased opinion. The TD500 mesh seems like a great overall case for around the same price point, the thermals seem to be good but I have not ffound any reviews of the noise emission. However its main attraction to me, is the beautiful aesthetics of the case. I am looking for a white PC build and the colour pallet (light gray and white) is very appealing to me when trying to make my decision. Price £100 | 3 fans included
Overall, these three cases are very good options and, from what I see, they won't leave you with any regrets. However they each have different appeals. I would like to know your suggestions and any feedback from owners of these products
