Hey guys, I'm currently planning to build a new PC with the ASUS Z490-G (micro ATX), an i5-10600k and an AIO cooler. So now I’m looking for a case. The first case I found was the H510 but I read conflicting reviews when it comes to the Air-Flow and overall with the design I'm a little worried that a front AIO would turn the case into a hot box. Are there any other good micro ATX cases you can recommend? (Athletics are kind of important to me)

Oh, and I'm also planning to overclock the CPU but nothing to crazy.

the H510 is a ATX mid tower, are you looking for something the same size or smaller?

I honestly don't have a preference I think the size of the H510 is good but if there is a case with good performance that is smaller it won't be a big problem

if you are looking for something smaller, the cases that @boggy77 recommended are solid.

 

the p300a should be similar in size to the H510 iirc, though buying extra fans is recommended because this case only comes with 1 exhaust.

I would recommend the NZXT H1, I am looking for the mesh model for you.

It's the case I plan to build my daughter's build in 2 years for. She wants something that doesn't take up much room.

 https://www.newegg.com/white-nzxt-h1-mini-itx-tower/p/2AM-000T-00152?Description=nzxt h1 mesh&cm_re=nzxt_h1 mesh-_-9SIADFRBU87135-_-Product

couldn't find the Mesh model. But this is what they have at Newegg. And hopefully you can find the mesh panel.

Sorry, government computer isn't very fast.

This is expensive, but you have to remember it comes with PSU and AIO.

My 2020 Upgrade: CPU: Ryzen 5 3600; MB: MSI X570 Tomohawk WiFi; Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V 32GB 3600 MHz; Case: Lian Li Lancool II Mesh Performance; PSU: Corsair RM550X 80+ Gold; Storage: WD Blue 500GB SSD; Seagate 4TB Compute HDD; Monitor: GIGABYTE G34WQC 34" 144Hz Curved Gaming Monitor, 3440 x 1440 VA 1500R Display

 

Previous Components Still Using: GPU: MSI GTX 1070 (bought Used); Storage: WD 3TB Green HDD,WD 1TB Black HDD, SanDisk SSD PLUS 240GB

Previous Monitor I want to VESA mount: LG 29UB55-B 29" Ultrawide 1080p 60Hz IPS
