Hey guys I was looking at the Corsair 280x case, and I really like it.

 

It's not that it is out of my budget range, but I was wondering if there were any similar matx cases out there you guys would personally vouch for.

 

The two features that stand out to me are:

-Dual chambered design/or sectioned design

-Small form factor

 

Any thoughts?

It's a good case so why not go for it

 

A few cases I can vouch for personally are the Meshify Mini C and the OG Air 240

I was planning on the non rgb version of the 280x but yeah I really liked the dual chamber design and I don't mind not having rgb, airflow is critical to me.

 

Does anyone have thoughts on Thermaltake Core V21?

V21 is pretty good, especially for watercooling, Not as flashy but definitely a solid case

Sorry it's super messy looking right now.

 

I haven't done any real cable management but I will, and my plan is to install some white led fans with a "ring" or "halo" look to give it a soft white glow in the case.

 

Right now I am considering the AigoDIY Halos but if people have suggestions too let me know!

Still looks better than the Verge ;)
