Verdict
Fractal Design Terra
8 / 10 Expert Rating
The best-looking SFF case on a desk, with real thermal tradeoffs to match its layout.
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.
