*PSA:* For everyone asking “Where is ___ pc case?” Then please watch until at least 1:51. If the pc case you’re looking into is above $120-$140 USD in price then it’s most likely already a S tier pc case. I had to put a price limit for this tier list video or else it would of been 3-4 hours long 💀

[@xPhantomxify]

[@dlposas]

As a Montech AIR 903 Max owner, I can say that is the best one for air flow and cable management. The only downside it's to get compatible PWN fans for the bottom side. Everything else is incredible for only 75$. Best quality-price relationship hands down.

[@darkbooger]

Montech 903 Base/Air is an awesome case to build in.

[@adalbert.arkosi]

Can't believe I watched this whole video, even though I didn't really need to. I was in between the Lian Li Lancool 207 and the Montech Air 903 base, either a fantastic choice. Thanks.

[@ZenotoXOfficial]

I got the Corsair 3500X for $80 during black friday, and seeing that the A-Tier Antec is basically the same thing, Im very happy to put my current build inside of it today!

great list as always

[@ScatterVolt]

Wait, did you skip to the end of the video? 🙄

[@MormonDude]

As a Lancool 207 owner, I wouldn’t be surprised if the front PSU shroud becomes more widely adopted. It’s like you’re getting the benefits of a dual chamber/fish tank case (ie having good airflow directly into your gpu) without spending dual chamber prices. Especially as NVME drives become more and more common and some people just ditch the 3.5 and 2.5 drives altogether.

[@__alves_]

Same here love it

[@aykh1705]

Recently did a build with the Montech AIR 903, and I almost couldn't believe how good it was in quality and value for the price. Crazy good, def recommend. 👌

1:31:35 I never had any thoughts of AIO and motherboard incompatibility, until I recently built a gaming PC with a Montech HyperFlow ARGB 360 in my NZXT H6 Flow and ROG B650-A. One of the fans on the AIO is barely touching the motherboard's VRM heatsink, but they still fit in the H6 Flow together.

[@marks9233]

Thanks for doing all these. Appreciate your comments and sense of humor and stuff. Gotta say tho, the Lancool 216 is absolutely an S tier case. Top performer on thermals on GN tests and super kwality. You dinged it a whole tier for vertical ridges on the front or something? Hmm... The big two central Lian Li 160mm ARGB fans upfront are still pretty cool lookin, imho. ...and a Type C upfront for you! ; ) Err...why exactly is that Type C upfront such a huge factor? The port itself is always there 2 ft away in back. Lots of them. Some other dudes think a reset button or separate audio and mic ports upfront are big deals. I guess we all have our pet peeves.

[@maestro4287]

My PC is in the Antec C3 ARGB black version, and the online images were misleading because the glass panels are actually slightly dark tinted and it's hard to see inside.

[@magnusnilsson9792]

I've built in the HAF 500 and the Montech XR, and they are really good, the montech fans are small 120mm but the two on the side are reverse fans, A-RGB splitters for daisy chaining. The gimmicky fan in the HAF 500 can be directed at the HDD's or the GPU.

[@DropletPlant]

Wich motherboard is better to chose? (cpu is ryzen 5 7600x) ASUS TUF GAMING B650-PLUS WIFI or MSI B650 GAMING PLUS WIFI

[@Gsoda35]

I desire a compact ATX case with GPU support of 360mm, top mounted 360mm radiator, no space underneath the motherboard as the PSU will be in the front. noise insulation and tempered glass would be amazing.

[@ebaeza20055]

Do you think you could do like a 700-800 dollar pc build but with a type c motherboard, I’m really new to all of this and I would like to build my first pc but I would also like it to support the type c port if that makes sense

[@Sevunteen]

The Be Quiet 500 has their top tier pure wings 2 fans in it, that alone is a hell of a bonus.

Came here to see if my case was rated... my case wasn't rated. 😢 One day APNX C1, you'll be rated. 😅 And yes, it's $99 now on Amazon for the non-color change paint job.

[@peterwstacey]

I think cases are highly region-specific. Here in the UK the budget cases are from CiT and Aerocool, which would have been interesting to see how those £40 cases rank. But there's no way to review all cases, especially when most PC-tech youtubers are geographically centralised.

[@OutlookJonas]

I think you're being generous to the H6 Flow, mainly because that case is friggin HUGE and being an all white case without RGB case fans kinda defeats the purpose for so many builds. I can understand black cases going without RGB fans but white cases dont look as nice without and lighting or colour. Also Montech has already become the king of value for cases, they just need to make it easier to buy their fans and make more AIO's.

[@donedi9716]

Love your Videos❤

[@manuelesaa3795]

Well i own a bitfenix graph mesh 4 with an 13600kf and its going ok atm. But i feel like i need to add more fans to the case tbh, at least 2 up and 2 down. What do you guys reccomend?

[@thomaslayman9487]

1:29:06 i managed to snag an h5 flow on sale for like 55 bucks a few months ago, i gotta say i thoroughly agree that the usb layout is silly. the cable management is all right, and i can't say that the build quality is "stellar" - it's all right. throw a pack of those thermalright fans for $13 in there, and for 70 bucks that's pretty insane value

[@imagamershorts]

Got my montech air 100 lite (non-rgb) for 28$ (conversion). Detachable front mesh, magnetic side glass, 3 usb-A front panel. Yes, no usb-C, but what do you expect. For a m-ATX case i think airflow is decent, keeps my 7600x well below 75°C with PA120.

[@MormonDude]

You should probably also make a note with the Lancool 207 that for motherboards it only supports up to a certain width. Meaning that if you have a motherboard that is wider than normal it won’t fit. You’ll have to make certain that the motherboard you have or looking to buy will fit. It’s like Jayztwocents said: it will support ATX motherboards, but only if it is a *true* ATX form factor. If it goes any wider then it won’t fit.

[@ScatterVolt]

No one is throwing an EATX motherboard inside a Lancool 207 to be honest

[@MormonDude]

@ yeah I was talking about full-size ATX, because to my understand there are “ATX” motherboards that go wider than the official ATX measurement. And these motherboards would fit fine in any other case, but not the Lancool 207. The Lancool 207 only supports a max width of I believe 244mm. Edit: oops I thought you were talking about mATX. All these different ATX letters confuse me…

[@clarence0075]

I'm here for this 😁👍🏾👍🏾

[@ScatterVolt]

Sweet, thanks for showing up!

[@amyjeffs3269]

Just built a pc using the lian li lancool 207,and can confirm,its great case for the money. In the UK,no one had stock in black,so went with white,but it still looks neat, and understated ,if thats your thing. As mentioned in most reviews of this case,its easy to build in with lots of different routing points for cables,to keep things neat when connecting up to the motherboard, with the only downside,as mentioned being the limited space for the psu cables. I certainly wouldnt recommend a non modular psu,and found things pretty tight, even without using any sata cables. Also i had to move the lower cable clamp,as it was right in the way of one of the major connectionons,to the motherboard,on a MSI Tomahawk B650 wifi. Tooless panels is a nice bonus to,but watch your psu width,as its very tight in there. Also gpu anti sag bracket ,is a welcome addition for tri fan cards. People have complained that the top cable mount hooks,are not holding cables firmly,which is true,but you can turn them upside down,which should have been the correct orientation to begin with. You will have to redrill the clamps,which is not a issue,as the clamps are removed ,and reinstated in seconds.

I have Jonsbo D31 Mesh SC (the one with LCD screen), it's more or less same chassis as Asus AP201 (just different panels), you can put a 360mm rad at the top and still mount PSU in place using the specified mounting slots. However, it does reduce space for the GPU as you have to use the second last mount slot. With that said, cable management can get tricky, especially if you use RGB fans, lol

Heck no 😅

[@peterwstacey]

Some older cases are still on sale since they simply do a specific job really well and haven't been replaced. Silverstone HTPC cases, for example, or Fractal Node 804 for NAS builds. But then you'd probably have different requirements for those (don't really need high airflow for a NAS case since it can run on a 35W CPU with no GPU, for example)

[@davidsumpter4933]

I can't wait for the ultimate case list for those cases that cost more than $129 usd.

Yesterday buy lian li lancool 216 , in our area price difference vs lian li lancool 207 is $6.71

[@roll_and_on_greatest]

Really wish the Montech XR MESH was in production!! For probably extra $5, you get extra 1 ARGB fan and excellent quality!

[@ayman9517]

How about the ncase m2? Most space efficient case i know

[@SuperCrash1998]

I think SV should have included MSI MAG Forge 100R because that's the case I house my Ryzen 5 7600, MSI B650 Tomahawk wifi, and Gigabyte 7800 XT IMO I think it's still an aggressive looking case even if it released all the way back in 2019/2020

Iz Corsair 3000d for 63 usd good price?

[@necrolord5611]

Can you have a look at the Antec nx416L? Seems like an update of nx410?

[@ScatterVolt]

Looks great

[@ewbait]

I got the Corsair 3500X for about 80 with the ARGB fans. If you can get that version on sale, it seems like a steal.

[@FUNBYTE]

I just bought it yesterday and I’m like what 😮, when I saw the c tier for 3500x 😢

[@pzelact4328]

Lian Li LanCool 207 has a gap without filter at SSD/HDD right side plate! Montech AIR 903 Max doesnt has filter at front panel and bad filter for PSU. Ar u gonna clean ur PSU from dust? If u gonna use EATX motherboard u will hav less ways to connect power cables for CPU and Motherboard. Bottom Fans which will blow air to GPU will take air from what? lowest front 1 fan?

Is it OK if I have my components sitting inside a stretched out cardboard box?

[@hugeburger]

yes as long as you have fan cutouts where you can have fans directing airflow or leave it open at the top so hot air rises.

[@ScatterVolt]

Sure

[@clintonkinchen661]

Did we get enough Antec cases on the list?

[@aarlavaan]

Criteria number 5 is super impotent. I built my pc in... 2018-2019, and I got a big, BIG chonky case that I thought would have plenty of space for a gpu. Turns out the extra drive bays, which I ended up not needing, took 3 inches off of how long a card I could put in. Finally updated my case end of last year and it has way more space for when I upgrade the gpu. Pretty sure my other case would have gone in D or F tier. Too expensive, cheap build quality, and just too small inside. Haven't watched the whole video yet, but I'm curious where my NEW case ranks. I think I have an idea, but I'll hold on off saying which tier I think it should be until I see it.

[@aarlavaan]

As a follow up, I was correct in my guess. I got the antec flux. it was very easy to move my hardware over to the new case. Only had two issues with it. The lower fan sits in front of the motherboard case headers. This makes it more annoying to connect the power button and front us, but isn't a deal breaker. The other issue... The fan controller uses a sata power cable, which is more an issue with my old psu than the case, but it wasn't something I expected to have to deal with because it wasn't in the case information when I was researching new cases. I ended up having to buy an adapter to use the case fans. Perhaps that's more of a problem on my end, given I haven't built a new computer in 5 years so I'm a little behind case tech. But all in all I'm very happy with my selection. Easily trades blows with much more expensive cases in thermals, the build quality is top notch, and the tool-less design is very convenient. The minimalist design with the wood accent may not be for everyone, given the lack of rainbow vomit (can't stand RGB myself) is a turn off for much of the pc building community, but an excellent case for anyone wanting for a more subdued aesthetic.

[@carpedegas500]

Anybody have any personal thoughts on the Phanteks NV5 MK2?

[@Azzinoth100]

Hey man, you put a lot of effort into this video and it's great. But let me give you some feedback that I hope will get to you. It would be nice if you could disregard Price in your evaluation and ONLY judge case for their true value. The problem is, by the time I'm looking at this video (Jan 9, 2025) the prices are completely different. So if you're rating a case A-Tier because it has good price and rating another excellent case C-Tier because it's a bit overprice, your rating doesn't make any sense to me who's watching your video at another point in time. Your video would have been more informative if you rated case purely on their quality and not on prices. (also I'm canadien so price and availability are very different for me)
