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 Pop Air
7.5 / 10 Expert Rating
A dependable budget airflow case, just don't expect the design flourishes of Fractal's pricier lines.
