Starting to look mid-tower cases for a new build this fall.
 
On my list so far:
Corsair 5000D Airflow Tempered Glass Mid-Tower ATX PC Case, Black, CC-9011210-WW ($150)
Fractal Design Meshify C Black ATX High-Airflow Compact Dark Tint Tempered Glass Window Mid Tower Computer Case ($100)
 
Open to other case suggestions and 280mm/360mm AIO's too.

    Your suggestion about the 5000D is probably the best one and on the Corsair website it is currently marked down in price.

    You can tell the case was made by a company that sells fans.

    I've got the 5000X case with Corsair fans. A great combination and I like the Corsair iCUE software integration.

    be quiet! Silent Base 802 and Pure Base 500DX are good options as well. Their build quality is quite good. I'm not personally a fan of the front aesthetic on the 500DX, but those two cases are their best for airflow, and airflow is what you'll need if you're looking at any new hardware.

    6Q6CPFHPBPCU691 is a discount code anyone can use.

    A case that supports 5.25 bay. That is rare these days.

    I would consider checking the Lian Li PC-011 Dynamic Mid Tower or Full. Great case performance aesthetics cooling is a must case to have

    Those who abuse power, are nothing but scumbags! The challenge of power is how to use it and not abuse it. The abuse of power that seems to create the most unhappiness is when a person uses personal power to get ahead without regards to the welfare of others, people are obsessed with it. You can take a nice person and turn them into a slob, into an insane being, craving power, destroying anything that stands in their way.

    I ended up ordering Corsair 5000D Airflow Tempered Glass Mid-Tower ATX (black) while it was on sale on Amazon. Got to love prime shipping.

    It’s the way I would have gone between the two. My system though needed to support EATX so I had to do a full tower.

    Use an Associates Code & SAVE 5% - 10% on your purchase. Just click on the associates banner to save, or enter the associates code at checkout on your next purchase. If you choose to use my code I want to personally say "Thank You" for using it.
