Help deciding on case

I’ve been looking at cases for a while now and can’t really decide.

I was originally going with the h500i but decided that didn’t have enough ventilation at the front.

 

Cases I’m looking at:

Cougar Puritas tempered glass mid tower

Corsair carbide spec omega rgb

msi mag pylon tempered glass case

Fractal design Meshify C TG

 

I’d like to case to be mostly black if not all black so I can go with any colour scheme.

 

Any input on these cases or your opinions are welcome. Or even other case options. Thank you

If you want good airflow, the Silverstone RL06 is also a good choice it's main advantage is coming with 3 decent fans at stock rather than cheap ones meant to past 'out of the box' reviews, which makes it cheaper to use.

I’ve seen that one, I know I’m being probably too picky but I’m not a big fan of the design. 

I don’t need the airflow to be anything crazy, just don’t want it to be too restricted.

Id say the Fractal case. Clean and allows you to show off your pc without it being overly flashy. not to mention decent airflow and good cable management

I recently bought the TG5 RGB, not sure yet how well it is as delivery should arrive tomorrow but that might be an option for you

I do really like the look of that case but I’m am in Australia and don’t think I can get that here? I’m not too sure but I haven’t seen it anywhere.

You can get the Corsair 460x which is a slightly more premium version of the Sharktoon case :) 

 

The Pulon looks like garbage for alirflow. Honestly the NZXT H500 has better airflow than that.

Thank you everyone, I think I might go with the fractal design meshify c. Decided I don’t really need the rgb. Luke prefer to spend the money I save on better perfomance
