Interesting. This article - https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-pc-cases,4183.html - purports to be for 2024, yet it's actually from 2019.
Be that as it may, in all the case reviews I've seen on Tom's none surpass the CoolerMaster Praetorian I used for my first build. All aluminum to help dissipate heat. 4 external 5" + 2 3.5" bays, not to mention 4 internal 3.5" bays. Power supply on top (remember heat RISES), 4 80mm fans. And the icing on the cake? A REMOVABLE motherboard tray which made installation and modification a breeze. All the gimmicks on the cases shown in the article mean nothing in the grand scheme of things. Wish CoolerMaster still made them.

Don't count on anything on that list as the best! How can somebody else tell you what the best looking case is? That comes down to the person looking at it.

Best all around case to me. EDIT even in that review they say the best for less?
