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 X3 Mesh
7 / 10 Expert Rating
A genuinely solid budget pick if you want three ARGB fans and USB-C without spending much, but not built for large GPUs or big radiators.
