STOP Buying Bad PC Cases! Best PC Case 2023 - ATX / mATX / Mini ITX PC Cases

Tbh I'm disappointed u didn't include any closed side panel ATX cases at all, why does everybody only show the one's with tempered glass??

Awesome video. Thanks mate! ❤

Jason, these videos are excellent. I have learned so much from them.

It'd be nice if you place cards at the time stamps of your videos you are pointing out.

Bro in my country the premium cases are cheaper then normal

I was thinking of getting the HYTE y60. Though, it does go for $199

"it ended up sucking so much of your pe-"

Great video dude!

Can anyone recommend a full tower for air cooling and magnetic filters on top and front? Thinking of Haf 700

My line would be 10-15% of the build budget for case

TY! Built my son his first PC and went with the Montech case. $40 at Microcenter!

Superb videos, I am learning LOADS! Is there a video covering recommendations on full tower cases currently?

I'd like a case that has more than 2 usb ports on the front. I'd prefer 4 usb and a usb type c. It's difficult to search and find a case based on what I like for these ports. I know people say just buy a cheap port hub, but that defies the purpose. I want a case that will suit what my motherboard can put out in every way, including the front i/o. Any recommendations a good ATX case that will do this, that is also at a decent price?

Any full size case recommendations? 🤔

hi jason in the mid range section of the video,which one would you chose:
Montech Atx Montech Air 903 Max-70 euros
Lian Li Lancool 216-79 euros
Phanteks Eclipse G360A-82 euros
this are my options,im very confused!
thank you

just give me a chieftec sh01 with modern connections (usb-c and co.) and that's all.

Just to add on… I have NO desire to have RGB / cut outs / windows or water cooling on my case. I’m looking for a case like what you would buy for a workstation (HP / Lenovo / Dell) . Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Would you mind covering this for non-gaming non-video editing PC enthusiast and professionals or hobbyists that enjoy building PC’s and use them for work / business office ? I’m trying to build a sleek pro looking desktop / slimmed down workstation for the house, but it’s hard to get anywhere because EVERYTHING is gaming and/or video editing. You could even spin off another channel for nongamers/video production. Thank you either way, and Merry Christmas!

I got one you missed for that list, musetex y6 just grabbed one on Amazon for 100 with 20 coupon aquarium style, 5 120 argb fans, black and white, great IO, tbh ive been hunting for a case for a bit and this one checked off all the boxes for the best price I could find it at

I just bought the Fractal Design North, black with tempered glass side panel. I cant wait to transfer over to it. Thermals be damned, i love the aesthetics! ❤

Thanks

They all don't have handles, so they're all garbage 😂

for the lian li 011 dynamic feel get the montech king 95 pro

I have the Lian Li 011 Dynamic and i have to say that case is insane for space and airflow. If you don't mind spending extra for the fans ( i have 10 in total which includes the fans on my AIO Rad ). Even though its expensive i still think i made the right choice, Tinkering inside the PC is a breeze because of all the room you have. I have had smaller cases which makes upgrading / tinkering inside a little harder along with cable management. With a monster case like the 011 thats not an issue as there is more than enough room for anything.

What do you think about the GAMEKM Genki Bomb Pc Case ? It is € 85 but looks futuristic with good airflow in a small form-factor !

What's missing is a case between $70-140 where it's great airflow, no windows and relatively quiet, and has 5-7 hdd spaces for 3.5"

sheesh. really shouldn't have bought a 420mm AIO because that severely limited by choices for ccases

Having built upwards of 30 computers in the last 5 years, I think a good case is one that meets all the prerequisites for your specific build (e.g. enough space for your GPU and your CPU tower or radiator, enough SSD trays if you plan on having more than one or two), offers good airflow, and allows for good access to everything while building. I've built in really cheap cases and in 200$+ cases, the one big difference I'll tell everyone is that cheap cases (up to 50-60$) usually are a lot less user-friendly to build in. Aside from more aesthetic things like a lack of rubber grommets or cable management bars, the cheaper cases typically also are just more of a pain to just open and access everything, and the overall build quality is a lot less refined. There's gonna be more plastic which might rattle or creak as you build, or if it's all sheet-metal it's gonna be thin and flimsy.
Without name-dropping brand or model, I've used a 50$ case (from a well-known brand) earlier this year for a budget-friendly build and it had a sheet-metal frame around its tempered glass side panel, so the panel came off with the frame. Taking it off was easy enough with a single thumbscrew, but as I went to put it down somewhere and the edge of the frame slid down my hand a bit, it cut the palm of my hand because the edge was still sharp, not sanded at all. You just have to be aware that with a cheap case, building is probably going to be a pain, either by making things hard to access or having nowhere to put the cables on the backside, or by physically hurting you like the one that cut me...

That said, once you get to 70-75$ cases or more, build quality is noticeably better. Once you go over 90$ or 100$, all you're paying extra for is either more space (aka just a bigger case), better materials, more RGB, more features like removeable fan/radiator brackets, or any combination of these. But personally I try to avoid cases under about 70-75$ except in ultra-budget builds (like when the client says the PC should cost as little as possible). Even for a 1000$ gaming PC I'd go with something like the Phanteks G300A or Fractal Focus 2 because I just got tired of cheap cases that make building a PC harder than it needs to be.

I find modern cases so dull. Without the drive bays they are just rectangles. I think my next "case" might be an Arcade 1up with added ventilation. Lots of room in their bases.
I'll consider it a $150 discount on the cabinet cuz thats what I'd pay for a normal case.

I know I'm probably in the minority here, but I really don't care about lights and color and stuff like that. I just want a case that'll allow me to install an ATX motherboard and have room for future expansion.

it looks ugly brooo

After using desktops in my bedroom, I want a case with no lighting, just good airflow.

would you recommend the NZXT h7 flow?

Only 5,25" case is fractal design pop air which has bad airflow due to full psu cover. Shame that they almost stopped manufacturing cases for people with hdd bay and blu-ray drive.

Dual chamber glass cases sell though. All manufacturers have some kind of 011 dynamic clone now. Its what buyers are spending their money on. A case that nearly no one else will see, that they'll show off to everyone who doesn't care, to impress people that don't even know what it is. But you'll tell them anyway.

When I was at microcenter the other day, the employee said people spend more time trying to figure out what PC case they're going to get than they do anything else.

You don't even need a case, you just need a table,

Is the ancient Corsair Carbide 500R still reusable by today's standards? I have custom filters to prevent the crazy dust intake. Can still customize it fairly well.

Phanteks Eclipse G300A. Good features. Mid-tower case, D-RGB fan, Tempered Glass, USB-C front io
3 pack of Thermalright RGB fans $13. Good enough. RGB

Find a better deal than this.

its too bad the NR600 went up to $100. I bought one a couple years ago when it first came out for $70 and I saw them going for $60 on sale or with rebates at a few points. It is a really solid case with decent features and comes with a couple decent fans but at $70 adding some more isnt a huge deal.

But inflation I guess...

The Phanteks g500 is a nice case, I put a i9 13900kf in it. I can overclock it to 5.6 gigahertz.

I had to laugh bc the case you put in the thumbnail as the "premium" option ... is the case I just bought. And then you say it's like, your fav case of all time and I'm like, lol, great minds truly do think alike

Absolutely nothing from Corsair 😢

i need a perfect case for my new setup (7800x3d 4070) with good airflow and good filters because i am vaping near the computer.

my top3 so far:

Fractal Design North
Fractal Design Meshify 2
Lian Li LANCOOL 216 RGB

or BeQuiet (i have a DX500 right now, it's pretty good, but not the best i guess)

which one would you choose?

hay wut is your personal build it looks so good and must function good

Can someone recommend pc case in white colour smallest possible and not heavy and Looks nice for atx motherboard ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-A GAMING WIFI II, Corsair icue H150i Elite LCD XT 360 aio, i9 14900K, ?

If you upgrade frequently, trust me, you'll want to invest and spend on the best case that suits your need, especially the ease of access. I used to not overspend on cases and ended up spending more. I suggest that you don't hesitate to upgrade to the case on any day if you have the extra budget when you see the best case that suits you.

BeQuiet Purebase 500FX is a setal right now at $100. The aftermarket fans that come with it are close to the price of the entire tower.
