Verdict

Fractal Design North

9 / 10 Expert Rating

A genuinely furniture-like ATX case that still cools and runs quietly, limited only by a 355mm GPU ceiling that flagship cards approach.

Lian Li Lancool 216

8.5 / 10 Expert Rating

Strong thermals from large included fans at a genuinely low price.
