Verdict

Cooler Master NR600

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A solid budget Micro-ATX case if front USB-C isn't a priority; step up to the Prime AP201 if it is.

Zalman i3 Neo

6.5 / 10 Expert Rating

One of the best fans-included-per-dollar budget cases available, as long as you don't need front USB-C or big GPU clearance.
