Hey everyone, I'm looking for recommendations for a new PC case. My priorities are excellent airflow and a clean, modern aesthetic. I'm building a mid-range gaming PC and don't want my components to overheat, but I also want it to look good on my desk. I'm leaning towards a mid-tower ATX size. Any suggestions on cases you've had good experiences with?

I'm open to brands like Fractal Design, Lian Li, Corsair, NZXT, etc. What are your top picks?

I highly recommend the Fractal Design Meshify 2 Compact. It has an incredible mesh front panel for airflow and looks very sleek. I've had mine for over a year and my temps are always great, even under heavy load.

It's also surprisingly easy to build in, and cable management is a breeze.

Great suggestion, Sarah! I second the Meshify series. If you want something a bit more on the "premium" side aesthetically, check out the Lian Li O11 Dynamic series. They're known for their dual-chamber design, which is great for cable management and can accommodate a lot of fans for airflow.

Though, they can be a bit more expensive and might require extra fans to get the most out of them.
