Verdict
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.
Montech X3 Mesh
7 / 10 Expert Rating
A genuinely solid budget pick if you want three ARGB fans and USB-C without spending much, but not built for large GPUs or big radiators.
