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 馃檪

Don't hurt yourself to fit in.

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

Ryzen 7950x3D PBO +200MHz / -15mV curve CPPC in 'prefer cache'

100% agreed. Anything Fractal makes is amazing. It has a good sense of what the all around type of case should be without being insanely flashy.

Really just any of the higher end big name ATX cases, the only thing that keeps people out of the zone where you get _all_ of the features is the cost.

Lian Li lancool III, Fractal Design Define 7, Corsair 4000/5000D, etc

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.
