No, it's not considered high air flow. Mostly "Decent air flow" suitable for an R5/15 and a RX580/GTX1060

Similar, perhaps slightly better than the H400 but doesnt match a Meshify C mini.

mATX cases in general are lacking. There are SIGNIFICANTLY more ATX cases than there are mATX cases.

I agree it seems players used to follow the old dick philosophy "bigger is always better" 

And just as the times have changed for girls, so has the dick philosophy "not too big j st fitting"

Corsair Air 240.

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139045&cm_re=air240-_-11-139-045-_-Product

 

It's a cube case, but will have tons of airflow.

 

They might have a newer version, I'm not sure.

 

Edit: They do, the 280X with tempered glass. Probably not as much airflow though because of the front glass

Corsair Air 240 and 280X are great mATX solutions.  Both are twin chamber designs which puts the PSU and drives on the back away from your main components, providing better airflow and makes cable management a breeze.  280X offers a lot more flexibility for radiator/fan configs on either top, front, or bottom depending on the hardware used.  I've built personal systems in both, and honestly can't go wrong with either depending on your budget.

Always felt like the 240 looked like it had some issues that might come up with possible water cooling. They fixed this with the 280x?

I love corsair stuff *kisses my my corsair gear*  but the air 240s windowed side panel is kinda flexible. 

Nick if you work with corsair, could you please suggest a nice hybrid between a H400 and a Meshify mini. 

Thanks

Ps: I'm loving my light loops and I programed the lights to dance to my favorite song *points of authority*

That Hybrid is the 280X :P 

 

I do wish the front glass was better spaced like their 460x and 570x. Those cases have good spacing for side airflow, something the 280X lacks.

No its not the 280X is corsair trying to update the looks of the 240s without thinking just like thermaltake's level 20 VT is for their V21, not much improvement just looks. Fractal knew about define's shortcoming and fixed the air-flow problem. Corsair tried tried to fix one problem but came out with another. 

Flexibility in the side windows fixed now it lost it air-flow.
