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.
