Verdict

Cooler Master Qube 500 Flatpack

7.5 / 10 Expert Rating

A fun, genuinely modular case if you want to change its look over time, though the base kit alone is a fairly plain mid-tower.

Fractal Design Meshify C

7.5 / 10 Expert Rating

Still a solid budget-to-midrange pick if you can find it cheap, but the lack of front USB-C is a real limitation in 2026.
