hi .
currently i decide to purchase a gaming case , the case should be under 100 bucks(or maybe above but just a litle bit)
i decide to go for lian li lancool 2 mesh , but some tech said to me that this case does not have good air cable management and its space on the top is very small , because i can not install 360 rad in that position and the space between mobo and roof is small .
and that guy sugest me this case :https://www.techpowerup.com/review/aqirys-sargas/
he said this one is a lot better than lancool 2 mesh , it is bigger , its have better cable managment and cooling in the same price point.
but i can not find good reviews about this one and iam not sure about it , also iam not sure about what he said about lancool 2 mesh.
so i need more comments about this two case and some depth comparisan in order to decide better.
and if there is better options compare than that 2 one i will be grateful if you sugest me
(very sorry for bad english)

The case that your salesman is trying to get you to buy is not that good since the fans on it would be subpar. I'd get the Lancool 2 Mesh case over the case the salesman is pushing towards you.

Where are you located, what is your preferred site for purchase? Not all regions will have the same product availability, so if what we suggest isn't available on your end, we're just burning resources.

IDK if you can access Newegg where you are? Perhaps there is a similar retailer that carries a lot of inventory?

I would suggest going there and putting on your filter for the price point and then peruse everything that comes up. When you pick ones you like, then go to the manufacturer page and see what they have to say about room for mounting coolers and such.

At that price point I like the Phanteks case(s). My choice was the P400 IIRC. I think the Lian Li above should be pretty decent if you have the room required. DeepCool has the Matrexx case(s) available at under that price point. I did fairly lengthy review of the 40 3FS model. I was not super impressed with the build quality and also the molex fans. Air flow wasn't bad and it is a good looking case once built.

The Lancool ll Mesh is a very good case. Check out the thermals in this video from 14mins onwards...

Not so sure about the other case. As for Radiator clearance, I think its okay if its less than 110mm in thickness or something close to that.
sorry but my english is not very good but in that chart i can see that lian li 2 mesh can make 20 degree differences in cpu temperature ?is that good as that ?some one said to me : "no , a case can not never make such a difference in cpu or any other part temperature"

Test figures vs claim, your call what you want to believe.
But do make sure to count in the ambience into the equation. That is something not spoken a lot about. Your case can only do so much if your ambiance isnt congenial or conducive to high load operation.
