Honestly both great cases! The NZXT is under half as wide as the Fractal Design case, but the Fractal Design case is about 4 inches shorter than the NZXT. I suppose it's a better question of how you want to tinker in it and what future upgrades you want to get.

You're comparing the wrong cases or misreading specs. The H500 is 7mm taller, 7mm shallower, and 51mm longer.

460mm x 210mm x 428mm

453mm x 217mm x 409mm

The Meshify is better -- better included fans, airflow, fit and finish, is more compact, and more accessible dust filters.

I may have looked at the wrong one, I'm at work and was just taking a small break.

 

Yeah as these guys said though, the Meshify C is pretty notorious for its glorious airflow. Congrats on your new case =p
