Verdict
Fractal Design Terra
8 / 10 Expert Rating
The best-looking SFF case on a desk, with real thermal tradeoffs to match its layout.
Montech Air 1000 Premium
8.5 / 10 Expert Rating
Excellent value for a four-fan, dual-360mm-radiator case; one of the best budget-to-midrange picks for a serious air-cooled or AIO build.
