CORRECTION: links to H6 Flow now go to H6 Flow and not the H5 Flow... (woops) and the PRICE of Terra ranges from $149-179 and NOT $69 as displayed in the video. My bad... too many layers in Resolve and this one got missed.
-D.
Seriously think the Tower 300 will be on this list next year. If I had known that case was coming I would not have bought an ATX board....lol.
I was like holy shit terra costs this low xd
Do you sell these PC's?
I actually checked out the terra the moment I saw the price but then ... bamboozled,
Wow! We're absolutely thrilled to see our products featured in your video! 😊 Thank you so much for selecting the KING 95 and Air 903. We're honored to be a part of the Best Cases of 2023! We will look to strive even better in 2024! Keep a look out!👀
You folks keep up the *great* work. I'm now the proud owner of the King 95 Pro (in black) that I'll be using for an upcoming build. 👍🏻🙏🏻🏆
Keep up the good work.
The King 95 will be my next case for a build I plan in Feb/March 2024.
Gonna do a build soon in the black King 95 Pro - my very first build! :)
@montech your doing great work, and the past two years you have done everything right in my book.. keep doing great value cases without cutting corners and I am certain your rise will continue👊👍
Thank you for naming us Case of the Year and for your kind words of support - we truly appreciate it! 💜
Love to see you guys bring new things to market 👍 the H6 Flow despite its flaws, is a winner 🏆
-D.
@@HardwareCanucks @NZXTglobel I'm looking for a new case for a new build and have been tossing between H6 Flow and H9 Flow? What is your favored choice? Tyty
montech king 95 pro>>>>@@tristantran5618
lmao hi nzxt
@tristantran5618 I made my build in the h6 flow a week ago. It was so easy to build in compared to some other cases. I finished my entire build and cable management in like an hour and a half. There is a lot of room in the back, I have an rgb and fan controller in there and they can all be tucked away nicely along with all other PSU cables. Airflow is good too, only like Dimitri said the 140mm in the bottom don't move that much air. There is plenty of room to pass connectors through at the bottom, top and side. Just don't install a watercooler at the top before doing your cpu cables!
Honored to be included in the coolest features category! 💛 Stayed tuned for HYTE has in store for 2024 👀
Thanks for bringing some heat 🔥 into the case space! Excited for 2024 👌
-D.
Hopefully more HoloLive collaborations 🤞
Hyte Y60/Y70 cases while great for airflow and aesthetic, have a TERRIBLE "LUXURY" PCIE riser that will fault out, and their customer service is NONEXISTANT!
Really impressive list of cases. You may not fancy every one, but still a great "go to" list to consider. And then they all have been released this year. Which is even more impressive.
Colors, textures, materials, design - fresh ideas everywhere. I really hope case companies can make enough money of this wave to keep them coming also in the future.
Just completed a build in an H6 Flow, feeling pretty smug seeing it as a Hardware Canucks case of the year 😂😂
Ha nice! What was your XP like?
-D.
Im a huge SFFPC fan and love DAN Cases. Respect for being brave enough to put them on blast for how the C4-SFX release was handled.
For sure. I love my C4-SFX v1, won’t sell it, but he needed to do another run to keep people happy.
-D.
@HardwareCanucks I don't own a Dan case, but you put it in the worst case and you didn't say why. You're basically whining that others couldn't get it and so it's in the worst category. You being an influencer probably had something to do with it being sold out so fast. I'm not sure how big that company is, but keeping up with demand would have been a nice thing.
@@HardwareCanucksi have 2 current builds a sliger sm560 and the Dan A4H2O. I saw the C4SFX pop up I'm my country Australia and be it expensive I bit the bullet and grabbed one for a gta 6 future build. Hopefully I'll love it as I do my A4H2O. I think the v2 willl be quite different and flat pack which for me yes higher quality but just as expensive and I'm not too keen on flat pack.
@@Boombox198719 im debating not selling my dan a4 h20 after i recently secured a P-ATX V1. sliger doesnt make the conswoles anymore and i kinda found myself wanting to keep certain builds around (case wise anyway)
What is sffpc?
Great video! Props to Liam Li for keep improving their cases. The 011 vision and 011 EVO RGB are amazing. They started the fish tank and they bring out new cases with more and more improvements. My case of the year is the 011 EVO RGB, runner up NV7
Definitely should incorporate a best mATX and mITX category, as some of the cases coming out in that sphere are absolute 🔥🔥🔥🔥👌👌
Great video!
Hey i'm looking to build a matx or micro itx pc, I'm not fammiliar with the new ones that have come out. Could you share the cool ones I can look at?
@definingslawek4731 I'm a huge fan of the Formd T1 v2.5 Sandwich layout. The velka range (3, 5 and 7). Dan A4 SFX and H20.
But slightly larger ITX cases would be the go to. Fractal Nano, Cooler Master NR200P max and thermaltake tower 100/200 are all excellent options.
Thank you for your expertise, Sir!@@AxleLotl
Man…. The amount of effort you guys put in making these videos are just wow..! The Lego cars, plants, lighting and cinematography in showing the cases, just amazing!
I am not a regular PC builder but I am definitely an enthusiast and I love watching your videos!
Great video! I think NV5/7 might need a retest because I'm confused about using 2 exhausts and 1 intake. Regardless, NZXT H6 Flow still fits in the GOAT category being one of the best temps along with NV7 and 011 EVO XL. All of these cases mentioned are amazing for their features.
Just finished rebuilding my PC in the Montech King 95 and I'm blown away by the airflow and beauty of this case. My only gripe is Montech did not include replacement (plastic) panel retention clips so now I have to 3D print them myself.
I was surprised how well built the King 95 is. The quality feels really premium. And the price is unbeatable.
Montech has been killing it this year.
The most surprising thing is how well build their case are. King 95 and Air 903 are so impressive.
Will check them out. Thanks.
I just bought the king 95 pro. Very good looking case
@@loganwhite6173my king 95 is perfect as well ❤
Good customer service too. I had a minor issue with their mesh and they sent me a new one free.
I just did my first solo build in the H6 Flow today, the build quality was awesome and the airflow with just the stock case fans is great!
Have you added any fans to it?
Can't go wrong with Hardware Canucks case of the year for a first solo build!
Did you replace the front fans or just keep the stock ones?
This has been very helpful in finding the right case for my fittings. Ty!
big W for picking the H6 flow as case of the year, i actually also used that case in my recent build and was glad to see it at number 1
Thank you for a great run-down and recommendations for top cases for 2023. Still looking for a mid-tower computer case with a 5.25" front access drive bay, and a minimum of 1 x USB-C port, preferably with carrying handles. Not sure why not able to find any!
Cuz no one in their right mind using 5.25 bays
I'm actually digging these new up and coming companies, creating cases for those different needs other big companies are missing out! Looking forward to the future of new cases!
Dmitry! I have a white H6 Flow RGB sitting on my desk....MB and CPU just arrived. Building tomorrow. Thanks for validating what was a really hard choice!
Love my Phanteks NV7, currently working on a new build for that case. Still love my Phanteks Evolv X!
Amazing how in-tune I seem to be with you guys. My two most recent cases are:
1) Back in May I picked up an Asus AP201 (for my main desktop system, which was running too hot in my old beloved Fractal mATX case).
2) Less than a week ago I ordered a Montech AIR 903 so I could resurrect my old Intel 8700 system.
From my perspective, you're right on target with the budget picks. Both are great bang for the buck.
Which one is your "old beloved Fractal mATX case"? I'm thinking to do the same right now and need some last push 😀
@@RomaZhuzha it's the Fractal Define Mini C. While great looking, there's only a narrow pathway for outside air to come in the front cover's side slots (the actual sides of the case are solid), and, with the PSU sectioned off in a compartment covering the entire bottom of the case, there's no way to get any fans positioned for sucking outside air up from the floor and into the GPU. This setup ran great for several years with my old 2080 super and threadripper 1920x, but the 7900xtx just runs WAY too hot. The difference is night and day with the new Asus AP201 case.
@@BaronCAD Nice, makes sense. Mine is Meshify C Mini, however, which has mesh front so temps are not too bad, but I really want to mount my AIO on top instead of the front and give GPU some cold air.
Thanks for the swift response!
I found also AP201 Tempered Glass and will be deciding now if I should bother with my gutting my current setup or just build a new PC. First world problems!
Nice to see my NV5 in background 🥰
I love this case
Awesome work, love your content!
The *Asus AP201* is an amazing case😍 - super easy to build in and keeps everything really cool - using three exhaust fans at the top and it excels at pulling the heat out of the case. 👏
Great Video as always! I am waiting to review the Sharkoon Rev300 and hear your opinion on this case. Keep up the good work
I've been eyeing the NZXT H6 and the Montech K95, I love both but I'm planning on getting the Montech K95. Glad to see the H6 making the case of the year though! 🙂
How's the K95 case buddy?
I bought a Red Hyte Y40 for my Christmas present this year. I'm going to eventually recase my current PC into it but I bought it primarily to try some 3D printed design ideas out. We as a family really like Hyte cases. My Wife has the Revolt 3 with a custom paint job and my son's machine is built in the Y60. This Y40 is going to be a lot of fun and I got it on sale at Newegg for $115.
I have an all white build with the gigabyte aero oc 4090/ 7800x3d/ 64 gigs of ddr5 ram in the white phanteks nv7 and this case is insane. I make sure to clean my pc every 2 weeks to 1 month at the latest. I am recommending the phanteks nv5 to 4 of my coworkers for their builds this year and next year.
I really liked your video. Thanks for pointing out thicknes of the fans being an issue in new cases.
When you mean standard size for the rad at the top of the H6 Flow, what exactly is the standard size? Was about to buy it for my Ryujin III 360 but now im worried its too big to fit.
I got the Antec Performance 1 for my first build, very easy to build in and looks great!
Love my performance 1ft. Beautiful case and super easy to build in.
So many great cases now. I want to buy some and just swap in and out. LOL. The value on the Montech air 903 is just outstanding. LanCool 216 looks great also. Both have great airflow.
The montech one isn't available in many countries, apparently they don't export that model to any SEA countries but they do send the sky two and king 95 :(
Nice overview of the cases. I like the H6 flow, but how dust free can it be, or do we need to clean those glass cases every month. I bought the Fractal Design 7 compact because all the dust filters, it has so much dust inside :s
Seems everyone forgets to mention the gpu clearance on the 2000D as well. It was stated on their site to be I believe 20 or 30 mm longer than it was everywhere else. The pictures on places like Newegg or Amazon was listed much shorter than their site listed.
Are all cases for the AIO not fitting touching the board like that? I bought a Fractal case and it does the same thing with a Gigabyte Aorus Master. I have to drop the front fans lower and push the AIO all the way forward to make it fit with the tubes being in the rear. I'm guessing it would apply fort the other way around? I'd probably have to remove the back fan all together, if even that. Not sure if the XL full tower case are the same. I would think they would be a bit taller to make it fit right. 🤷♂
Just pulled the trigger on the red Hyte Y40. I knew I would want the vertical GPU mount, and I was already considering the Montech King 95 pro, so this just made sense. Wanted red for specific build theme.
What are your thoughts on the NV7 with the new Lian Li TL LCD fans mounted on the slanted bottom ? In my head it sounds like it might be cool to have your system readouts on fans tilted towards you.. Getting ready to do a new build and was all set on the Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO XL but now, I don't know...
Great overview on cases...Have the H6 Flow (your review helped!) and I have the Phanteks T30's on my corsair 360mm AIO in the top and no issues with intslation in the top with a MSI Z790 motherboard...Great case, simple to build in with stellar airflow. and for once, the price is spot on..
I just did my first ITX build in the Fractal Terra a few weeks ago. I feel pretty good seeing it on the list 😏
Great video! Have you had a chane to test Chieftec bx-10b-op and Jonsbo D31, and how are they compare to Asus ap201?
Do you have a video where you explain the fault in the H6s bottom fans in more detail? I'm interested in that case, but only if the bottom fans impact airflow in a positive way.
My top 3 favorites from this video is 1. Montech King 95, 2. NZXT H6 flow, 3. APNX C1.
King 95 is really good ! I’ve already build two of them, and the build quality is really good. And the price of them really blown me away.
@@CFI963 nice, did you build in the pro version using the inlcuded fans? How are the performance?
I need a case with a big capacity of hdds, maybne the silent p101 or the Fractal Design Define XL R2 or r5?
Happy that Antec is back with a killer case!
Very excited for the NV7 and NV9 from Phanteks. Planning to build my first custom loop and I think those two could be a blast for it.
Dema, I just bought LIAN LI O11 Dynamic EVO. Should I exchange it for Antec Performance 1 FT? Do a video comparing the two. Thanks!
What about low profile mATX cases for HTPC? I have the Silverstone ML04B and need options for my next build.
My last build was with an h6 flow rgb 7800X3d, b650, deepcool lt720 360mm aio, 32gb's 6000mhz cl30 ram, nitro 7900xtx, 1000 watt psu. One of my favorite builds lately and temps are really good, and it's cheap. It is my second in command. My first is in a phanteks evolve x 7950x3d, rtx 4090
I want PC case that can display my whole PC components from right side, any suggestion?
I mean Reverse Side Glass Panel and reverse motherboard installation
This introduced me to some new cases that I think look cool. It also reminded me how much I hate the fish tank aesthetic and how much I wish it would go away. I also found a case that is 90% of the way there for me but falls short. The APNX C1 looks amazing and if they did a vertical mount like how Fractal Define 7, Meshify 2, or Corsair 4000D and above do it I would probably buy it in a heartbeat. But either not being able to do vertical mount or losing access to the rest of the PCIe Slots takes it from that's amazing to that looks nice.
honestly, while I like the fishtanks as their called I do feel like they are getting a bit old. nothing has really beat the classic case format, its been close to the standard from the very beginning.
I went with the NZXT H7 Flow, I needed a thinner case and wanted less glass, but yes, NZXT is back
The C4 SFX is the best case i've ever owned. This case is absolutely stunning
Stunningly... out of stock lel - but i agree! my fave ITX case so far. DAN says v2 is Q3-Q4 of 2024 tho... the wait is loooong.
-D.
didn't expect that H6 flow gonna be your case of the year. Glad i bought it on its release
Yeah, I was between it and the NV5. But ultimately the H6 Flow is a better buy that is ready to go and does a lot of things right. The NV5 would be my runner up for sure, if you wanna spend an additional $99 on fans.
-D.
Hi i was wondering, can you put an push-pull config in NV5 on the top of the case?
Dimitry! From HC.
Man I first started following you back in 2011 when I built my 3rd PC, I used to read the review articles on the site back then transitioned over to youtube over time. I remember all the craze around RGB before it even became mainstream. Back then we used to buy LED light bars or strips and put them in our cases and used that old fat 4pin connector for them. Then around 5 years later RGB became all the craze, circa 2016-2017 and now we’re living in an RGB insanity world. My younger self would’ve loved it.
Good times. Glad to see you’re still the same though, you haven’t aged at all haha
Haha thank you 🙏
-D.
Just purchased a
PCCOOLER C3T500
ARGB case based on an LTT video. Very impressed.
I bought the NZXT H6 FLOW and i have lian li sl infinity 120fans, they dont fit on the front panel, you have to force them in and dont attach the cap for the cable thing. And also i cant screw them in cause they are not aligned with the holes. They are so tight in there's no vibration from the fans
H6 Flow is a perfect way to cool your gpu which generally account for at least twice the amount of heat of your cpu. It is basically a way to blow air directly into the side of the gpu without having a fan on your side panel. Which is good since it often the only part of the gpu that you can actually see the heatsinks. Trying to blow air up from the bottom runs into the problem most gpus that have a shroud over them, so they either blow air onto fans or onto plastic. The lancool 216 and 215 was good at moving the hot air that a gpu puts out, but didn't directly cool the gpus. The next big thing will likely be 140mm fans at a 45 degree angle. Or possibly just a spot for them, since I heard NZXT has had some QA issues where some fans are quiet and some aren't. Slap some cheap but quiet Arctic fans on there and you are golden.
My new build for 2024 is in the TT Tower 500 (Snow edition). Amazing case, looks great and is so easy to build in.
Enjoyed the vid, thanks. My Lian Li Lancool II is cool, dark, and quiet. Still very pleased with it.
I wholeheartedly agree with your Dan C4 comments. I was totally committed to buying one, but couldn't find one if my life depended upon it. Have yet to decide on another ITX case for my build.
Thank you for recommending our Performance 1 FT :D
Loving my Performance 1FT, thanks for the great case! ❤
antec 1ft, got scratches on the temp plastic, on top. should have made with tempered glass , other than that solid.
Not a big fan of the Terra, but I can see why someone would like it. A lot of nice cases this year. I love all the influence the 011 has had, but it's made choosing my next case very hard!
similar here, im honestly rethinking my original choice to go with the original DXL. that hyte y70 touch is a bit outside the range i would normally go for but its so cool
Matx is the smallest I’d go personally but I get why people like it too.
@@frankytanky5076 It's mainly because they don't want something that takes up half of their desk
@@Lolskillissue I mean I guess so. If you need that much space might as well get a labtop instead.
Matx is still incredibly portable and has great airflow still. I think 30 L is probably the sweet spot for performance and size.
It has some good things. But the moving bracket is the biggest issue.
I agree with you on the NZXT H6 flow as I would never use those fans. It has a smaller footprint for Mid Size $109 is not to bad but $89.00 and no fans would be a good price, front lower I/O for desktop use and good air flow paths. Wish the Top Cover was more open as it is almost always exhaust with Fine mesh filter underneath that can be removed if not needed. Why almost all case manufactures THINK fine holes punched in steel makes a good filter when it is 50% or less open is beyond me.
Fractal Tera $69? Also, on the Dan C4SFX. I waited for the "US" release via Newegg only to be told that was cancelled after all the stock sold out. Very bad experience waiting on that case.
Built in the H6 Flow today and it was magnificent🙌🏽
Right? So easy to work with. Love the H6 Flow 👍
-D.
Montech & Hyte changed the game on 2023!
Awesome video!
finally the video we all been waiting for. i hope 2024 and beyond will interduce us to some great ITX cases as of right now I'm getting into ITX and cant wait for some awesome cases to drop ! hopefully in CES.
What’s best quiet mini case? There’s a big need for these as well as the powerful big louder ones
I got 12400 16gb ram gigabyte b660m gaming, what gpu should I get for gaming and video editing
surprised i didnt see the fractal design north in the gorgeour section. the dark oak on the black finish of the case makes it look so good.
So the new cases all glass etc are wonderfull very good looking but were do i place my hdds? I always like tobhave 6 to 8 tb of space and m2 or ssd with that capacity cost 10x more
I just bought one of these ( PCCOOLER C3T500 ARGB PC Case) all glass and it does come with an HDD tray that is in the back near the psu. It can hold two. Im guessing other cases of this type are the same
@@msquirrel1 yeah im checking the lian li O11 vision for my build cames with 2 trays as well and 3 or 4 ssd spaces
M2 goes in mother board most can take 2 m2s
my solution this year was simple. Bought the fractal ridge early in the year and have been loving it ever since
Just bought my King 95. BEST VALUE, Montech deserves it!!!
I'm very interested with the ASUS Prime AP201 (mATX), how is the airflow? 2 or 3 of the intake fans are blocked by the GPU. How about the air flowing to the CPU?
Just got it, gonna rebuild my am4 system in it. The videos I’ve seen have the gpu temps as near best in class though for matx cases. The entire case is mesh, and allows crazy airflow.
The quality feels premium too.
Opinion on Corsair iCUE 5000D RGB Airflow ATX Mid?
Just got the lancool 216, it seems super quiet and the temps seem to be just fine with a dark rock pro 5
Are the h6 flow's stock fans any good? I've heard some very bad things about their stock fans
My wife came across the Terra case and had to have it. It's a lil to small for my taste but it dose look good on the desk for sure.
Got the nzxt h9 elite on a good sale and its amazing! Almost went with the h6 but glad i spent a little more.
Now this is what I'm waiting for at the end of the year!
I finally built a new computer this month (Ryzen 9 7900) after 10 years of running a great system (i7-4790k). Boy, do I feel lost with case options. Every case is built around watercooling which isn't even necessary, and none of the cases have good bays for optical drives or 3.5" hard drives. My Nanoxia Deep Silence 2 from 2013 is better than anything I can find now, and back then I got it new for $100. I am really surprised everyone needs multiple water cooling options, at least 6 RGB fans, and a case that sits on their desk, but nobody needs a value-minded case with fairly easy to manage hard drive bays. Still using my Nanoxia for the new build, hats off to that company for making one of the best computer cases ever.
Who uses optical drives and hdd in 2023? hdd can be used in servers/NAS. But heck, there is a new player in town. Its called SSD.
I have to say - your review is the first I have seen that included Antec 1FT case and including it in the Best PC Cases of 2023.
Good to see it surprised you. :)
Surprised the while late release Morpheus and CH780 from Deepcool were not on the list, having built in in both and most of the cases listed here (minus the itx) I found the options given and the pillar-less glass on the 780, for the price best in slot.
Best of the best! 👌
Dual chambers really spread out this year! I really hope to see compact dual chambers in upcoming year
Can you do a video on inverted PC cases? I’m looking for a case that can be shown from the left side of my desk
Still running an Antec1100, I changed a couple things, running an Arctic Cooling 240 for my 5800X3D and a ton of rainbow puke rgb and I love it. Still running 8 fans, cpu rarely over 55C gaming.
What do you think about the Cooler Master Qube?
good list, my favorite is 011 Evo XL...
Dmitry coming in with the end of year case review?
Sounds like a BEST CASE scenario!
Are the CPU temperatures using an air cooler?
What do you think about the Endorfy ARX 700 ARGB ?
I ended up going with the o11 vision and I am so glad I did. It looks absolutely stunning while not breaking the bank. No brainer if you’re going for a dual chamber imo
Are you going to review the be quiet dark base pro 901 ? It could have been an interesting candidate for "the best big case"
What's the widest case ... to avoid bending 4090 cables ?
They all seem to be 24 cm wide regardless of other dimensions.
For air cooling, are dual chamber cases worse? The flow pattern doesn't make sense to me.
Phanteks nv5 nv7 is my favorite case 2023 ❤
Just received the NV7. All I can say is wow.
