Here are the best cases we've tested this year after building them up and down and checking them for fire hazards. How big is your graphics card? What motherboard are you going with? How many drive bays do you need? Figure out what's going into the case before you buy it, so you're sure everything will fit.

If building a PC seems a little out of your comfort zone in general, you can always go with a prebuilt gaming PC and skip the stress of building your own.īefore you fork out your hard-earned cash for the best PC case ever, you should consider a couple of things first. The best PC case will simplify the building process, while a bad case limits your expandability options or makes it difficult to build your machine. Check out the best Amazon Prime Day gaming deals.But if you're looking for a small-scale build, then the best mini-ITX cases will be what you covet. If you want multi-loop liquid cooling and the biggest GPUs on the planet, then your best bet is a full-tower chassis. I think that's a good idea and probably speaks to how easily they could shatter with exposed tempered glass corners extending beyond the metal attachment structure.Your choice of PC case will also dictate what can go inside. It seems to have a sheath of metal around the edges now. One last edit: I just looked closely at the pictures on the website and it looks like they've revised their design for the side panel. There's no way I'm liquid cooling my GPU only to have the same uncomfortably high VRAM temps I have on air. It'll be more since I have to go with EKWB for $339 to get the GPU block for my RTX 3090 FE if I want active backplate cooling, which is 100% a necessity on a 3090. The thought of spending nearly $1000 just to get the parts I need to set up a soft loop via Corsair hurts my chest. Now if they'd only reduce some of their CLC prices. Seems like they are doing the customers a solid by offering a more than fair price for a replacement part that will probably be in demand and very possible to break. Even with economies of scale, they can't possibly be making much/any money after shipping from China. I guess if you route the cables nicely enough and have nice enough cables it could be better than a plain black panel.Įdit: I almost forgot to point out how reasonably priced it is at $19.99.

On a side note, how'd you manage to break two 5000D/X glass side panels? I thought maybe you broke one and wanted to put one on each side, but it's not gonna look very interesting on the right side, plus you lose your cable management space.

Luckily they were super cool and ended up sending me a free replacement about a month after initially opening a ticket with them asking if I could buy one. The black ones are actually already sold out. Yes, they've started selling them in the US as replacement parts in the last week or so it seems. As it stands it seems like I'll have to go spend another $165 on a case. I'd just like to pay for my mistake and purchase a new panel. I'm not even blaming them for the design. The fact that you have to remove the panel by popping out the detents almost ensures that it will fall about half an inch onto the surface and land on the front corner. The issue is that if you remove this model of panel with the case standing up and you're on a hard surface (granite countertop for me) it will almost surely shatter. I've never broken a tempered glass panel until now and I've personally built-in/owned at least 10 tempered glass panel cases. This seems like a bit of a failure on Corsair's part because the panels are quite fragile if mishandled (easier done than you'd think even for an experienced builder). I broke mine and it doesn't seem like they sell 5000D replacement panels in the US.
