Verdict
FormD T1
8 / 10 Expert Rating
A cult favorite for a reason, just go in knowing you're buying a shell, not a complete kit.
Fractal Design Meshify C
7.5 / 10 Expert Rating
Still a solid budget-to-midrange pick if you can find it cheap, but the lack of front USB-C is a real limitation in 2026.
