If you take care of the case, it shouldn't get dirty. (Apart from dust).

 

I would get the NZXT H500. It looks amazing and modern.

I think i'm in love with my NZXT case.

My house is quite dusty, when I used my Corsair Spec Omega RGB i could literally see the dusts flying inside the case all the time.

Now since i've converted into an H700, ive never had those issues.
My desktop is now super clean, looks very nice, airy and cool. Wire management is also great.

I'd recommend getting the  NZXT case.

But the one I'm considering is the h500 not the h700, so none of the rgb or the full frame glass which i like :(

Truth be told mine doesn't include a RGB strip as well. I bought the bareback H700 instead of the H700i and got everything hooked up to Corsair lighting because I prefer it over others.

This case is good for airflow and is pretty quiet. 

 

I dealt with NZXT cases and it was a horrible experience from an airflow perspective, s340, H440 etc.. the H700 is only margianally better at airflow than the s340, H440 and H500, if you want comparisons.

 

I mean this is a great case and if I hadn't researched further into finding a case to replace that horrible s340 I wouldn't have found it because everyone only recommends NZXT Elite, Phanteks Eclipse, or Fractal Meshify C (which is a good case).

 

Phanteks Pro M / SE RGB Fans

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811854042

 

-The size is a bit bigger than the H500 and the exact size as the H700

Best & worst cases for your money in 2018 are:

 

Best Cases overall

 

I) Fractal Design Meshify C - Airflow and relatively quiet, best all around case

I) Phanteks Enthoo Pro M / Special Edition (white interior) - Airflow & full water cooling support

I) Fractal Define R6 - Silent with decent airflow

I) Be Quiet! DB 900 (Full Tower) - Airflow and silent 

I) Fractal Design Meshify C mini (mATX)

I) Corsair 400C - Only use with low end components, no 1080 / TI

I) Phanteks 350X - Only use with low end components, no 1080 / TI

I) Fractal Design Focus G

 

Cases that may be worth your money

 

I) Thermaltake G21 - GPU and CPU cooling issues, modest tweaking
I) Silverstone RL06 / Pro - Mustard/Ketchup wires, Shitty cable management, Poor front radiator support, useless psu filter, stupid ssd layout
I) In Win 303

I) Coolermaster H500 no suffix - if 200mm fans are your thing

I) NZXT H700 non "i" version - Needs to come down in price to be worth it

I) Corsair Carbide 100R - Suitable for low end builds

 

The worst cases - Do Not Buy

 

I) NZXT S340/Elite, H500, H440 (everything except the H700) Reason: Poor airflow
I) Coolermaster Masterbox 5

Majority of cases on the market
