The best case?

Hey,

 

I've been building and tweaking my PCPartPicker list, but the only thing I haven't gotten quite yet was my case. I wanted to ask if there were any specific cases that are really good for price and airflow. I have an ATX motherboard, so a full or mid-sized tower would be great.

 

Please let me know some good options 🙂

Fractal Design North with the mesh panel. Really its the mesh panel and the very open rear that makes the case stellar.

Builder/Enthusiast/Overclocker since 2012 with a focus on SFF/ITX since 2014.

Do you want RGB or no RGB and what is your budget for a case?

RGB is fine with me! $200 is my budget

FYI anyone that recommends the Corsair 4000D didn't do their homework. That case is a hose job for the price.

 

Possibly the easiest case to work with and has excellent airflow.
