Question Is the Fractal Design Meshify C overrated?

[AngelTech]

So me being me I am having 2nd thoughts about my case and wondering if there is any reason not to get the case and if so can you give me any case recommendations that are at micro center I'd prefer them to be expensive but not too expensive (anything over $150 is too much to me when it comes to case) as for why micro center I have one very close to me so why not buy the parts there esp. with some of the discounts.

It is what it is. A decent chassis with a mesh front panel. (Which is getting more rare) And tempered glass side panel. Beyond that not really anything special about it.

I don't particularly care for the front panel's added angles. I would prefer a flat mesh.

Personally my cases of choice at the moment are from Phanteks. I like the Enthoo Pro M variants, and the Eclipse 350X and P300 are pretty nice. NZXT, Fractal's other cases (Focus G isn't bad), even a few from be quiet! appeal to me along the same feature set. Still a few BitFenix models out there I like.

On the cheaper side are products from Corsair and Cooler Master. Fine basic chassis. Their high end offerings often confuse me as being too silly.

I suppose it depends on what you are after. Utility, appearance, RGB, tempered glass, silence, expansion, etc.

For me the Enthoo Pro M was essentially the perfect combination of air cooling and water cooling support.

Silent and appearance here's the link to look at the cases at micro center

Only you can judge appearance. As for silence, if the fans aren't directly exposed they should be fairly quiet.

Of those, some of the Cooler Master Masterboxes are okay. The ones with 200mm+ fans will have a lot of airflow at a low noise level.

Honestly, their selection isn't all that diverse.

I see if you had to pick one from the list would you stick with fractal or get a different one and if so which one? (Not good at all with cases so sorry if asking too much haha)

They only have the Meshify C and the Define R6. If I am not mistaken, that has the same internals as the Meshify, or close to it. Can't recall if the Meshify is based on the R5 or the R6. So that pretty much rules that out.

If I had to pick, I would probably end up with the Corsair Carbide 175R, assuming I didn't want more airflow. Those Maingear cases look like they might be built fairly well. I can't recall who the OEM is, but it is one of the big ones, might be the guys who also do Corsair.

Interesting I'd like good airflow considering I'll be running three pretty hot components.
