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.
Hyte Y40
7.5 / 10 Expert Rating
The right call if you want the Hyte panoramic look without the Y60/Y70's bulk.
