Verdict

Corsair 6500X

8.5 / 10 Expert Rating

Corsair's flagship showcase case right now, with the dual-chamber cable hiding and radiator room to match its size.

Lian Li A3 mATX

8 / 10 Expert Rating

A genuinely well thought-out compact case, best suited to a mATX build that still wants room for a full-size GPU and cooler.
