Verdict
be quiet! Light Base 900
8.5 / 10 Expert Rating
A great full-tower for anyone who wants Dark Base Pro-level capacity with a brighter, glass-forward look at a lower price.
Montech Air 1000 Premium
8.5 / 10 Expert Rating
Excellent value for a four-fan, dual-360mm-radiator case; one of the best budget-to-midrange picks for a serious air-cooled or AIO build.
