Hi, I'm looking for a case up to £100 that has good airflow and will fit a Dark Rock 4 Pro with no issues, any suggestions?

Fractal Design Meshify C (Solid side panel, Tempered glass, Dark Tempered Glass, White options)

Phanteks Enthoo Pro M TG (Acrylic Side Panel, TG, or Special editon [white interior])

Cooler Master H500 (No P, no the NZXT H500)

Another +1 for Phanteks Enthoo Pro M. I got the special edition in white and it's gorgeous. It comes with 2x 140mm RGB fans as well.

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
