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.
NZXT H5 Elite
8 / 10 Expert Rating
Good value once you factor in the included RGB fans and controller, but pick the H5 Flow instead if airflow matters more than looks.
