Verdict

Corsair Frame 4000D

7.5 / 10 Expert Rating

A smart idea for anyone who isn't sure whether they want mesh or glass yet, though it's a premium over the regular 4000D Airflow for the same base performance.

Zalman i3 Neo

6.5 / 10 Expert Rating

One of the best fans-included-per-dollar budget cases available, as long as you don't need front USB-C or big GPU clearance.
