mATX Case w/ Good airflow?

RadiatingLight

I'm building a PC that will be going into special nook under a desk. the airflow won't be completely closed off, but the back and sides of the case will be surrounded by walls (so only the front will be able to breathe). what's a good mATX case for relatively cheap that can provide good airflow from the front?

 

I'm currently looking at the Meshify C, but I'd prefer something slightly cheaper if possible.

looks don't matter, since the case will be closed off on all sides anyway.

How about the Cooler Master MasterBox Lite 3.1? Those have dual front fans.

And a completely closed off front so they don't get airflow...

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

You can also look at the Vivo Case-V06 (Looks ugly but full of vents): https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA3BG4VZ3198&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker, LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

I'll probably end up going with the vivo, thanks.

Have you looked at the Fractal Design Focus G or Focus G mini. Quite similar to the Meshify C but cheaper. I love mine.
