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 North
9 / 10 Expert Rating
A genuinely furniture-like ATX case that still cools and runs quietly, limited only by a 355mm GPU ceiling that flagship cards approach.
