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.
SilverStone Fara B1
6.5 / 10 Expert Rating
A perfectly serviceable budget case if you add your own fans, but not competitive against similarly priced cases that already include ARGB fans.
