Fractal Design Mini C vs Corsair Carbide 88R vs Cooler Master MasterBox Lite 3.1

[AP_97]

Hello everyone.

 

This is a continuation of :

 

 

I've decided between :

Fractal Design Mini C

Corsair Carbide 88R

and the Cooler Master MasterBox Lite 3.1

Now, i need your input on which one is better suited for my needs. 

 

I want decent filtration, decent airflow, and a window to check on dust.

 

Where i live the CM case is the cheapest, and the Mini C is the most expensive.

 

So what do all of you think? Inputs are appreciated

I'm a fan of the minimalist look so i'd go with the Mini C, if you really want a window go for the Corsair one. The CM look too plastic/glossy for my personal taste.

 

In the end alot of it is a matter of personal preference, but in term of air flow the Corsair and Mini C will perform better than the CM

Mini C is the best in both catagories. Carbide 88r is second best, and the Master Box is the worst at both, but technically has the "best window"...

 

I'd personally go with the Mini C even though its the most expensive, because it's worth it. Cable management is also the easiest in that case.

Yeah looking at reviews i'm pretty much dropping the CoolerMaster one. Had doubts of their quality anyway.

As a Mini C owner with a transparent panel i can tell you you do not need it to watch for dust. The Filters do a great job on keeping everything out.

So much so that i need to check them monthly for too much buildup (bottom and front), tho i live in an old house
