It's not the best option in terms of airflow. The Fractal Design Meshify C and Phanteks Enthoo Pro M TG beat it in airflow in that regard (and in cable management too)

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

looks nice. somehow from the title i assumed you ment more budget options. 70-120 bucks i would call mid to high-mid and honestly the highest most people should go. the cheapest one i recommend has always been the bitfenix neos. very basic but clean simple and ventilation is good.

have used it before in a build. very basic but if one is really on a budget it looks good enough and build quality isnt terrible. can be found refurbished quite often ad as cheap as 20 something bucks. at least i did.

I made a custom PSU shroud for mine too and made a massive difference in the style looks ?
