Verdict
Corsair iCUE Link 3500X
8 / 10 Expert Rating
The cleanest cabling you'll get out of the box if you're buying into iCUE Link fans, with a solid mid-tower dual-chamber design underneath.
Thermaltake Ceres 500 TG ARGB
8 / 10 Expert Rating
One of the best mid-towers for 420mm radiator support and flagship-length GPUs without stepping up to a full-tower case.
