Case

Good airflow and sensible cable routing at a low price. On a first build that makes a genuine difference.

A mesh front and room for long cards at a low price. A good base for a first build.

A compact case that holds six drives and a standard ATX supply — a rare combination in this form factor.

Good airflow in a case that does not look like gaming hardware. A wooden front instead of glass and lighting.

Two 160 mm front fans included. It fits the longest graphics cards, the RTX 5090 among them.

A smaller ATX case with very good airflow. A good compromise when a full tower is too much for a desk.

A sound-dampened case holding up to fourteen drives. The best choice for a home server living in a flat.

Under 11 litres while still fitting a two-slot card. Low-profile cooling only — 77 mm maximum.

A showcase case with two glass panels. It fits three 360 mm radiators, though a front without intakes means poorer airflow on air cooling.

A cult Mini-ITX case fitting a full-size card and a 240 mm radiator in thirteen litres. Assembly takes patience.
