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.
Phanteks P400A
7 / 10 Expert Rating
A dated but still capable budget mesh case; worth buying only if it's discounted below current-generation alternatives like the XT Pro.
