Fractal Design Meshify $90

ANOTHER ONE of our favorite case manufacturers is Fractal Design. Although typically catering more toward the nofuss, silent, budget-oriented options with its Define series, Fractal provides a plethora of more exotic styled, coolingheavy cases for those tempted into the heady realms of custom PC perfection, all without breaking the bank.

The Meshify is a perfect example: a small, stylish, mid-tower design, developed with maximum airflow in mind. The polygon-esque 3D diamond mesh front panel lends itself to up to 360mm radiators, and although liquid cooling isn’t the best solution, it’s perfect for AIOs and smaller form factor builds. Despite its low price, it supports up to three 2.5-inch SSDs on the rear of the motherboard tray, two 3.5-inch hard drives below the PSU cover, and a full-sized ATX PSU. Couple that with the inclusion of fan filters, solid cable management, and a smoked glass side panel, and you start to wonder where the corners were cut when designing this beauty. We’ll let you know—if we find them.
