My Favorite Black Cases for a Gaming PC

[@SweepSwapInUrWalls]

I believe that the pop air also supports 5.25 inch drives in the drawer for people who want a motorized cup holder

[@formulafables]

it does

[@MarcsSpark]

It's 5.25 not 5.5 btw

[@SweepSwapInUrWalls]

@@MarcsSpark thank you

[@GaryKGaming]

I got the pop air XL RGB. Good value and was easy to build in and looks good

[@typothetical]

Haha nice reference, the motorized cup holder is essential

[@williamalexander3731]

It's wild how fast Montech took over. I'm rocking one now and they are great.

[@RattenPlanYT]

yeah i just bought a white one with 6 build-in fans for 60 bucks, they are amazingly cheap

[@timhnartiel]

Bought the X3 Mesh - wishing I'd known about the TG front version! 😂

[@GodSlayer79]

For my new build I’m gonna use the Montech XR it looks nice and fits all the parts I’m putting in it

[@Radiumonix]

I personally am in love with the 4000d airflow.

[@tvsavery666]

Same man. I just upgraded to a new PC and got the Corsair 4000D. It's such a good case, always cool in there and easy to cable manage and keep clean.

[@kanezhang5813]

yea corsair stuff is so aesthetic. If I upgrade I'm honestly just going to get 5000d and the new icue link radiator and mount cpu radiator to the side and show off more rgb, too bad icue is still kinda buggy and bad. also shitty proprietary ecosystem but I can't help myself, it just looks so good and the screen is so convenient for monitoring gpu temps

[@6vnoplananvjlkfnl]

I was looking for this in the comments

[@mask_jpeg4000]

Brother ❤ But tbh i kinda want to replace it for the fractal north I just love the wood and minimalist aesthetic of that one

[@witas131]

And i am absolutely in love with Monika from DDLC (yeah i know i need a therapist now)

[@minteyleafy]

If you're buying budget, it's the Montech Air 903 MAX (70$). It's good good airflow, has all the fans you need and is pretty kitted out. The fans are also ARGB.

[@jpa207]

That case is one of the best considering features per price, if not the best.

[@fanta_black]

This is the way.

[@feliksdzerzhinskij800]

And added to my wishlist, thanks! Was undecided between Lian Li Lancool 216 RGB and Phanteks Eclipse P400A but theyre more expensive and around $15-$25 difference. Hopefully can build my first gaming pc by the end of this year.

[@fanta_black]

@@feliksdzerzhinskij800 I'm hoping to do the same! Good luck!

[@rainemiller3567]

I have a montech air 100 which doesn’t look flashy or anything but it has rgb fans and great airflow for about $60

[@Hitphase]

Antec C5 is a great case. It's the fish case kind. Comes with 7 pre installed ARGB fans and can support up to an ATX mobo. It's about $170 here in Australia. The only problem is the fans kinda suck but for that price it still looks amazing. I couldn't find any reviews on it- it's quite a new case so just be warned build quality might suck

[@pzkpfwviii_maus]

Antecs c8 is also great, 160aud, a ton of clearance and fan options, but no preinstalled fans

[@Hitphase]

@@pzkpfwviii_maus I've seen the c8 I think the only differences between it and the C5 are the fans and size. C8 looks much bigger

[@amari2509]

@@Hitphase where is it sold on australia no stores are selling it

[@Hitphase]

@@amari2509 try Umart I think their sales go live next week. It got released like yesterday. Umart has both white and black for $169

[@Hitphase]

Since this case was only released 2 days ago I think retailers will wait at least 1 week until allowing customers to buy it especially since we live in Australia.

[@HydroStudios]

I built in the King 95 Pro and it is so nice to build in. Plenty of room in the second chamber and easy to work around in there.

[@sheshd]

M-ATX, the Azza Elise is PHENOMENAL value. Does well with AM5 boards too!

[@SalehAldosary]

Yo Is it worth buying 7900xtx or should I wait for the Rtx 5000 series?

[@CableMartini]

The 7900xtx isn't really worth it when the 7900xt is $250 cheaper, for only a 7% performance increase. In Newegg, u can get the 7900xt for like $700, compared to the 7900xtx being around $1k At the same time, if you don't care and want the best, do whatever you'd like. The 5000 series will be stupid expensive, but also stupid good, so it's personal preference/budget

[@sethbigboy324]

Wait, with Nvida releases soon comes AMD releases which will bring 7000’s prices down

[@Kaligrafus]

If you want to buy nVidia 5000 series you need to wait a lot. I would advise you to buy whats currently selling. 7900 xt is not a lot worse than xtx anf cheaper so I think its a better option.

[@adl1yt]

@@CableMartininah wdym its about 15% uplift. but i do agree with the rest of the comment tho, for $700 the xt is a great deal

[@flumpledorf]

Wait on amd’s 8000 series

[@Glubbdubdrib]

The H9 Flow was an amazing case to build in. Bought one 2 days ago and was the easiest to build in and the easiest to build manage with. I've never liked the NZXT case looks, was always with Corsair. But this H-line up is awesome.

[@mobitheanthrofox4023]

I nearly fainted, so happy to see montech finally get some love from a big KZbinr

[@blu3berry_skies]

Always come here for PC advice. I have like 20 of your shorts saved on a playlist. Glad you never disappoint!

[@straybricks]

I’ve been very happy with my Lian Li Lancool II Mesh. Great build quality and easy to work in, great airflow and stylish but not garish.

[@AlisterLymez]

Best case for retro build

[@animalmetalgeti]

Fractal Torrent Compact is just so good with 2x18 cm fans its insane

[@adialwaysup8184]

Ikr, and I got mine at £119 because they were going on a discount last month

[@animalmetalgeti]

@@adialwaysup8184 i got it 3 months ago for 130, but still i am suuuper happy

[@iZynx_]

Montech is absolutely unrivalled in terms of value.

[@Faint236]

For budget builds, the deepcool matrexx 40 is a really nice choice, clean, good airflow and great price

[@k1nguerra]

Ay what's good Zach. I bought a 3060 Ti in the peak of the pandemic for almost a grand (Yes, it's TRUE), but it bricked and the company RMA gave my money back. Which gpu should I buy? Save some money on a 7900XT/4070 ti and buy some extra ram or go for a 7900XTX Red Devil or TUF 4080 Super? I'm on a 5600x and I've decided to wait for the next ryzen series to upgrade next year.

[@azaanmaqbool2282]

For budget builds, I recommend the phanteks xt pro ultra and the montech air 903 max, great budget cases, and if you can you can get the lancool 216, it’s an amazing case for airflow. You can also get the phanteks nv5 if you want a cheap yet good fishtank case, although it doesn’t come with any fans

[@splatability6899]

Love the Montech Sky Two, personally i have the white but in my experience (no matter what color you get) i have slight issues with cable management.

[@Swagmaster65]

I wish Azza still sold their Storm 6000. That thing's a beast of a case

[@n64slayer]

I recommend the Coolermaster TD500 mesh v2. Its a full atx case with room for full 360mm fans on the top and bottom

[@TFrog]

The Mustex Y6 white or black has very good air flow 😊

[@damoclesa1031]

Montech Sky II is the best, I love it so much!

[@LolliCube_Solves24]

i personally love the HYTE Y60.

[@PotaraEditZ]

I have the sky 2 and it's amazing

[@GachaLOTTIExox]

I love that you can put a disk drive in the fractal design pop, I have a lot of bluerays lol

[@nakii_senpai]

Can you recommend a horizontal PC case

[@illiaishchuk]

Can you recommend a few dual-chambered fishtank MicroATX cases?

[@Touma134]

Lian li 216. I just think the front mesh makes the rgb look nice. Good air flow or whatever other weirdos care about.

[@patrickdiks8930]

I still love the corsair 4000d airflow.

[@mrhuskievr]

I recommend the montech X3 mesh which is great for budget builds, comes with 6 argb fans and looks pretty good. I'm gonna use it for my build when I can afford it

[@Mechfan666]

I bought a Corsair 4000x rgb, and I think it's pretty neat. Not a fish tank, but the 3 8-led fans in the front paired with some clever iCUE setups make for a very eye catching display. Which is fine because the rest of my build is thoroughly uninteresting and I dont have space to "display" the PC anyways. It was also pretty easy to build in, and my only complaint is it didn't have an exhaust fan (but can mount one) and no CD drive, which was a pain because it made installing the mobo drivers take like 5 times as long because not even the LAN port worked for my board out of the box.

[@gnobba]

Fractal north. Looks great and has really good airflow and enough space for the majority of people. Runners up would be the fractal torrent or methify 2, a black lian li lancool 3, corsair 4/5000d airflow (their old but they are still some of the best cases on the market imo) and on a really tight budget the MSI mag forge 100r.

[@CappuccinoBeam]

I love the Fractal Pop Air! I have it for my build and it’s awesome!

[@pupan927]

i don't know shit abt computers but i love watching these

[@Anti97x]

I love the nzxt h9 flow more than h6, but h6 does provide better value for your money.

[@KerniusGurskas]

A good white case without clear sides

[@jesselovett4934]

not exactly budget but the corsair 4000d has served me well. the fine mesh dust filters are a god send if you have pets.

[@I_am_Sp33d]

FYI, the king 95 pro on amazon comes with 6 RGB fans with a controller

[@_125__]

Montech X3 mesh is also a pretty good case, atx & mini atx, 6 pre installed fans, good airflow and looks good + the fans are rgb (like 50-65$

[@beRezeh]

Just used a white pop air for a friend and I can agree it’s a great case very easy to build in, daisy chain argb fans lots of open space, looks great too

[@taiwandxt6493]

Probably the best value case on the market right now is the Montech Air 903 Max. For around 70 bucks, 4 Case fans, mesh front, RGB fan hub.

[@dragonsglory5846]

I love your builds but the one thing I would change is the square rgb fans

[@libertycitygoon320]

There is a beautiful black version for the Corsair 680x dual-chamber

[@DynamikDrift]

I have recently purchased a flux capacitor for my gaming pc build Any case recommendations?

[@RandomGuyonYouTube21]

Honestly, the hyte y70 is also a really good case but can get pricey, it costs around $200

[@Kronos_LordofTitans]

I have a sharkoon vs9 for my pretty high end build, it gets the job done, no thermal problems, and I paid only 45 euros for it

[@NEJJJJJ-t4x]

The Mission SG Midi Glassical Cube are beatiful cases but more for streamers

[@movingtargetproductions5046]

If you want a decent ATX case, my personal is the Antec NX410. I got it for like 40-60 bucks, came with 3 Antec fans (swapped them because they didn't communicate with RGB software), and has a decent PSU basement if you remove the 3.5 drive tray

[@Brian-bq8tj]

I love my gamdias aura!

[@darksonic304]

now do budget black micro atx cases

[@saimahmad4907]

I bought bloody gh-30 for $100 , it looks really good and it has 5 rgb fans and has incredible cooling

[@jonathansolorzano6907]

I got the Corsair 5000T when it first came out the second i saw it i fell in love with it

[@manestguy]

My favorite case is the DEEPCOOL MATREXX 50 ADD-RGB 4F Mid-Tower Case because i got it for $75 comes with 4 rgb fans that are really quiet and fits really big gpu’s. Only 2 cons, limited space in the back and complicated “hub”

[@TheAverageNerd368]

I have a weird one. Can you recommend me a ATX case that is pink?

[@TheTechieLemon]

Could you recommend the xworks x32

[@parkersmit6050]

Rebuilt my pc into a hyte y 60 this Christmas and i love the look 😍

[@QuantumQwerty]

Ok so I adore the pop mini air, it’s what I built my first pc (and current pc!) in 3 months ago. But in the UK it was 90 pounds or 110 dollars. I do love the case though so worth it 110%

[@Moffcial]

All Balck but still has a glass panel and super clean please review. I request

[@SgPl_Gaming_974]

Great review, thank you very much !

[@Cosmic_Radiation68]

I lovely recommend Msi mag forge 100R if you dont wanna put lots of money to it It has great airflow, ARGB fans, mesh panels and enough cable management storage with 2 slots for HDD or SSD s

[@mklegomaster]

For Europeans, a better priced alternative to the montech sky two is the phanteks XT view, I personally prefer it and I think is pretty underrated and no one talks about it

[@Captain.CharChar]

H6 flow is a beast

[@swampnutz5201]

Went for the matx rgb version. It looks modern while also having a 5.25 bay for my blu ray albums

[@some-replies]

$70 Zalman i4. 6 pre installed 120mm fans. Fits 2 360mm rads, all mesh with dust filters included, vertical gpu support stock, gpu sag brace included and TONS of room for cable management

[@some-replies]

And you can get a glass panel if you want

[@Kellan03]

I would also recommend the montech xr, very similar to the sky 2 but a bit cheaper

[@Grumm9996]

The apevia prism elite is a pretty good fish tank case

[@ItsJonathan7924]

Tinted glass on a black case is seriously underrated… Sometimes clear glass just makes the PC feel too empty to me, but to each their own.

[@jt3000o]

I just bought the King 95 I can't wait to do a build in it's a really nice case for $99

[@umad42]

I have a decade old NZXT case, been using it since I was 14.

[@roelofsonneveld1049]

Thoughts on the North from Fractal design? It’s a very specific niche, but I think for the people looking for the niche it’s perfect :)

[@whitenukezz9481]

Nobody talking about the H9 Flow or the Lian Li Dynamic Evo? Both are amongst the best looking cases out there if not the 2 best.

[@ArturoSM01]

I just got one that looked good, and when it arrived I realized it's so big that I had to move my whole room just to try and make it fit lol

[@999plays]

Ngl i like NZXT black cases

[@CaptBucket]

Im in love with my fractal design north xl

[@sodo-tech]

Phanteks XT-view is a solid option for fish tank with 3 drgb fans for 80$

[@LamboMan25]

Matx fish tank case plz

[@Willsquid]

Antec c5 still underated

[@HanazonoFiama]

Hi Zach, what's your opinion on the Phanteks NV5 as a competitor to your top cases?

[@nifty_thrifty1907]

I sold my 120mm AIO and "upgraded" to a stock cooler am I cooked? I have a Ryzen 5 5500.

[@TheMegaman0]

I went with the Montech King 95 Pro. I can't wait to switch into it tomorrow or Wednesday

[@JudeFreed]

i got the lian li 11 evo and it looks super clean with my build, but it wwas kinda a pain that it came with no fans.

[@nabs5376]

What ITX Cases can you recommend? Love your vids

[@R3aceplays]

Can you do one for white please 🙏

[@rifathasan1266]

Need more case recommendations

[@MFA2000]

Montech king 95 pro. Amazing its got the included Rgb fans either it was 4 or 6. Fishtank look and you can change the front panel into mesh + instead of the square look the glass doesent have a corner so its rounded in the front

[@NanceLvr]

I want a case with bottom up fans but also has a full 140mm capability everywhere for those new g2 noctua fans

[@Kwanerek]

Should I go with the rtx 4060ti or the rtx 3070 for AAA games and fortnite

[@Notif_]

I love the antec c3

[@POTATOEZ_MC]

Reccomend an ORANGE/BLACK case, unusual i know but orange is my fav color (ATX, prefer fish tank 😊)

[@CadenCrape]

Best video I have ever seen from you good job keeping the pc’s under 10k

[@nukeythewise9424]

Micro ATX now

[@coconutloard]

I need a white micro atx case, for under 75$

[@brandonpeters8916]

I love my MSI Gungnir 110R

[@NitrFN]

Montech X3 Mesh. It's all I need to say

[@Shuttterbugg]

Best case is thernaltake p6 core ...its the nest dual chamber just huge csse

[@TheCoffeehound]

OK, if we're talking black cases, here's one for those of us who DON'T want RGB and a window: Fractal Define R5. Mid-tower case, all black, lots of cooling options, $75 on Newegg.

[@Maxiii69]

Recommend a budget atx Fishtank white case which is dual chambered

[@ponkwyt]

can u reccomend a good micro atx case preferrably black but any color works😁

[@Anonymebanane]

I loove the phanteks g500a, it's not that expensive, comes with 3 fans and is so quality and it's just nice and looks clean
