listed down below and kicking off at the budget or the more affordable wind we actually have three awesome options the cheapest of which is from MSI and this is the mag vampiric 100r usually available between 40 and 50 pounds this case doesn't break the bank yet it comes packing everything you need for an incredible gaming rig style for one with RGB vanes and half mesh front that looks the business but then more than enough space for entry to Upper mid-range PC builds I also like the fact that while it's not the absolute best put together PC case in the world it is a lot better constructed than some of its competition of course there always are going to be limitations at this price point though so if you do want to upgrade to something that is even better built you can consider msi's mag Forge 100r as I built this a few years ago and the case was Rock Solid and if you go for the SKU that has RGB fans you're getting a lot of case for your money I'd also argue that it's a better looking chassis but do be aware that it's definitely not the absolute widest case in the world so do be wary if you're going for high-end gpus if you do need size though yet still want to save as much much money as possible then you can actually consider the latest case of montec as it comes in at a mere 79 US Dollars hot off the presses this one is the air 903 Max and not only is it big enough for some serious gpus but it has masses of airflow to boots with three large 140 millimeter RGB fans on the front mesh panel and a solid 140 on the rear the build quality on this one is only fine so spinning more will definitely get you more but on a budget this case is pretty darn awesome as we move on now to our mid-range cases I would like to remind you that if you are new to PC gaming and you may be a little bit unfamiliar with all the different terms like ATX and ITX and what were the different sizes and things actually mean compatibility all of this stuff then I have already made a video that walks you through everything you need to know about the different PC cases and it will help you to find the right one for you you can find this video in the top right corner watch it now or watch it after you've finished this video but as I say let's press on to the most popular category the mid-range case and these are usually Better Built easier to build in and use more premium materials and the go-to classic that is still the safest recommendation in the book is corsair's 4000d this case has been used countless times on the channel in both black white RGB and glass and it pretty much Nails everything it's super easy to work with it looks super smart and it has great ventilation a word of course on the size of this though as it will be absolutely fine for most buyers if you are someone that wants to put like a radiator at the front and use a very large GPU do be aware that things will get slightly too tight so make sure you check your measurements before actually making a purchase this applies to all cases not just the 4000d a more recent option that's also worth considering is the new version of nzxt's H9 which in my eyes looks even better than the one from Corsair this case is rather unique as it actually has a special GPU angled fan in its lower chamber giving you great thermals out of the box as with a 4000 and D though this one isn't huge and in fact you're actually limited to a 240 radiator at the top so I probably wouldn't be using the chassis with an into I9 if you do need a larger case in this price bracket then instead consider the phantax g360a a truly awesome hug of a gaming PC case as this supports a 360 radiator at the top or the front while still currently retailing for around about 85 pounds at the time of filming I haven't actually built in this version yet but the older one was fantastic to build in and I love fantech's implementation of that RGB side strip that does look super cool on your desk or tell you what by the way if you are going to put a PC on your desk when you're doing some filming try not to stand next to an RTX 4090 if you're torn between going for a mesh front panel or the more visually straightened glass then the next option is for you cougars Duo face Pro RGB and this is a case that actually comes in at a very reasonable price for around about 100 pounds so yeah it's solid enough in its construction to actually make it into the category above and it comes with two tools front panels one that's made of glass and you guessed it one that is entirely mesh other than that though it's actually pretty similar to The Fan Tex with lots of space to work in and color options are both black and white I wouldn't say there is anything that I particularly adore about this case but then at the same time there's nothing really wrong with it either there's also one more case that I would strongly recommend in this category and this time some Cooler Master this enclosure is the td500 mesh V2 a revision of what was already a very good case but the V1 always felt slightly cheap in places the V2 version changes this somewhat I wouldn't describe it as night and day but the positive changes do make it much better with an RGB Fan Hub to keep things tidy around the side and there's now USB type-c on the front panel I think for most though it'll be the design that wins them over as you just can't argue that this does stand out from the crowd with its fractured glass effects and a crystallized mesh panel on the front overall it really does look a pretty sharp case now over the last few years I've actually become a massive fan of smaller cases as they take up less room on your desk they're a little bit lighter weight and in a lot of cases they're actually a bit cheaper too that was bad even for me I'll keep this bit short and sweet but there are two slam dunk m80x winners in my eyes the fractal pop mini air and the Asus Prime ap201 both very different cases the pop mini air is actually my current personal rig case plug for the video in the top rank corner of your screen as it's just big enough to fit an RTX 4090 and a ryzen 7800 X 3D but then it still has enough cooling to keep it all running smoothly now don't get me wrong it's absolutely not perfect I mean the RGB case fans one definitely look cool but frankly they're a little bit on the louder side but I do love how slick vibrant and frankly different it looks if you go for a more out there color and it really does go to show you that you don't need an oversized chassis and it doesn't need a cost you an arm and a leg as for the Asus Prime ap201 well what can I say this is actually my 2023 case of the year it is just fantastic I mean technically I don't know if this is slightly cheating because it actually came out just before the year started but my first build was actually in January this year and I was amazed with just how easily you could build a small form factor machine with such large components even easier than it was with the pop mini you can fit a 360 red up top if need be and thanks to the front mounted power supply rear management space and side cable bar it always seems to come out looking neat and tidy when you're done all in all it looks Sublime it's built like a tank and fits almost any hardware despite its size Bravo Asus you created something magical oh is still too big all right let's talk it X then [Music] I've got three options and a bonus for you here and it begins with the newest ITX in our lineup the fractal Terror and this case is a bit different as let's be honest it's meant to look sexy that's great but as a result the thermal is an affordability does become slightly compromised but I mean come on just look at this it is so pretty and despite this Hardware support it's actually still pretty good with larger but not the largest GPU supported and decent enough calling for CPUs up to about 120 watts my advice if you are looking at one of these is to plan very carefully because you need a big but small CPU Cooler and then you need a GPU that's long but not too long and narrow but they're not too narrow and if this sounds very confusing to you it's frankly because it is watch my full video in the top round Corner if you understand perhaps then vanity just isn't worth the price and you should instead grab yourself something that's a tad bigger the mesh remaster from ssupd which is still my favorite ITX case to date this enclosure packs a piece Generation 4 Riser cable and enough space for the larger size graphics cards though again not the absolute biggest what it does do though is combine a tiny footprint with enough space for a top-end GPU and up to a 280 millimeter all-in-one cooler so you can have your cake and then literally eat it I suppose I should say to the legal reasons that this case is not edible I understand though that not everyone wants to rely on a riser cable and if this is you then maybe consider The Cooler Master nr200p this case has actually come down in price quite a lot now yet it Still Remains an all-round winner thanks to its combination of looks space and cooling I would recommend using the graded panel not glass on this one just for better airflow and do be aware that if you do decide to side mount a radiator it can be a right pain in the bum to then open it back up again and then ah yes the bit I've been waiting for this case which is technically ITX it looks like a vending machine but it's kind of weirdly practical despite how it looks I don't think there's any other way of just describing it it's just odd isn't it this is actually a Micro ATX case that doesn't work with big metx boards so technically this is indeed an ITX case get your head around that but anyway I wanted to mention this as it is a super cool chassis that is pretty much different to everything else on the market for idx I think it's fair to say this is rather large but when you compare it to a normal ATX enclosure it's actually a lot more space efficient with a rig forming this rather neat Cube shape and fitting the largest graphics card I currently have the RTX 4090 master and this should not be understated look at the size of this thing it is huge there are a lot of ATX cases that would not fit this in it is pretty darn cool okay it's cooling is limited to a 280 rad and custom Loop certainly won't be the easiest in this thing but it was actually so incredibly simple to work with this chassis and it's actually pretty affordable at around about 100 pounds so I thought it was fair that I had a shout out let's move swiftly on though to the more premium cases the best luxury is of 2023 once again we have an absolute classic to start the Corsair 5000 series available in both glass and mesh versions this larger size case was the vessel of choice for my Hardline build last year and I just love how grown up and tasteful it can be in mesh mode or if opting for the xq it goes all luxury Vegas with so much lighting that is gonna be impossible to miss I don't like the fact that the case fans are pretty pants on the mesh version but other than that and maybe the price premium that Corsair has placed on this case there's not really anything else to moan about it is a fantastic enclosure that does deserve to be used for your luxury high-end build if you're the sort of gamer that does one for the RGB but demands mesh then instead consider the fan takes g500a this comes with RGB fans as standards they're not the best out there but they're decent enough but they also come with loads of space amazing cable management and that signature fan takes RGB vane lighting that I really have come to love if you are going to swap the fans anyway then to honest it probably is worth getting the 5000d and then adding your own fans separately but it is definitely good to have options to be fair though the best option could be the third and final one the Leon Lee Land call 216. this case actually has bigger 160 millimeter fans on the front that are RGB if you're going for that variant and it really was so easy to build in that frankly it was a piece of cake it has this semi Jewel chamber design to it so you can actually hide your cables down the bottom and then still ventilate drives and accessories and it just gives a nice overall neatness to your build what's actually costing less than both the Corsair and the fantax options now I've got one more category for you before we press on to my favorite case you can buy right now and this category is Big because it's big cases for those that need a big build the best all-rounder is actually the most recent case that I've built with that just arrived o11 Dynamic Evo XL now this enclosure is actually a bigger version of the standard o11 Evo and it lets you use up to three 140 millimeter fans at the top side or bottom which is awesome if you want the quietest build with big airflow you can also use it in reverse mode for an inverted build and let's be real it's the water coolest dream with enough clearance for push-pull radiators pretty much anywhere another option that is just as elegant but in a much more natural way is the new fractal North an incredibly popular option but one that I will caution against for users of all-in-one liquid coolers because I found it very tight at the top so I'd go with an air cooler or front mount but other than that it looks great has fantastic airflow and really is a breath of fresh air in the PC space then for the penultimate case we seemingly have everybody's favorite Heights y60 this fish tank light case does timber glass like no other and it's almost a bit like a fine Supercar everything about it is just right and you get a look that satisfies every single time you boot it up airflow is rather unique here too with a bottom chamber that feeds air up and through allowing for the standard vertical GPU Mount that actually comes with a case to be used without compromising too much on thermals but let's move on to the one that you've been waiting for the absolute best of the best the PC Centric favorite the case I keep going back to time and time again have you got any guesses well we've kind of already mentioned it it's actually the Leon Lee 011 Evo and it is just fantastic this case does it all it is absolutely gorgeous it has so much space for expandability and cable management and it is among the easiest cases that I've ever had the pleasure to work with it's almost impossible not to get a good looking build when using this as it lets your PC parts quite literally shine and I'm actually a big fan of the dark and tempered glass panel that does help to hide any spare cables that are lingering around on your motherboard now sadly even my favorite case is not immune to criticism this thing is not perfect mainly being that this thing costs a bomb by itself and it lacks any fans of standard so that's all extra cost and once you have assembled it it can genuinely do your backing with its immense weight seriously do be careful about that one if you are building in it get two people to lift it because it's it's so heavy that I don't let my editor lift it anymore health and safety true story but honestly I absolutely love that case it is fantastic it really does let all of your components shine and if you are willing to spend the money you're going to have something that is going to last for years to come and you're going to be incredibly proud of but that's my favorite what's yours let me know down in the comment section
