What Computer Case Should You Buy?

We've come a long way from the beige boxes of yesteryear! Learn how to select a computer case that will deliver a pleasant building experience, proper compatibility, and the features you need to get the most out of your components.

Even with high quality cases, I'll still get cuts, mostly from the components. I always make an accidental blood sacrifice when building a computer.

Always buy a case with LOTS OF RGB as it will make ur PC go faster

Another pro-tip, get a case that has generous grabbing points so you can pick it up easily. I got this stupid full atx cooler master case that looks nice but it has absolutely nowhere to grab other than the middle bottom area which makes it impossible to pick up unless you wanna give your spine a nice bend in it.

When did a giant ship become a small form factor pc easy to carry to lan parties?

At the end of the day most current cases are just overpriced metal frames with walls of tempered glass on them.

Make a DIY case video. I think that would be interesting and fun.

I've been following this channel for over 3 years and have never built a computer. Hopefully one day I will put all these tips in use.

I was expecting more of a "our favorite cases to use" video, while this video is helpful for newer or even some experienced builders, I would like to know what you think the best solutions are as well.

[Valfaun]

maybe a follow-up video of your favorite cases for each size?

Side panel with Windows in it? Just tape a Microsoft logo to your PC...

[dogboy]

I can make it even quickie-er:
Mid tower: Phanteks p400 or NZXT S340
Mini itx: Silverstone ML08 or Node 202 (unless you specifically want a cube case...)
Full tower: lol, as if this is your first build.

Luke is much more relaxed than Linus. We need more Luke!

With cheap cases, some holes don't even fit. For instance, when inserting extension cards, the brackets don't reach the end of the case so that can be screwed to the case. In this case, you either leave the card just hanging on the motherboard slot, or make a compromise and last pins of the card be well raised from the motherboard slot and risk not making contact.

I was actually hoping this would be a video about what material is the best for cases to keep the insides cool and such.

[benschneider]

For me its the pure base by be quiet. Its that simple cuz it has all the stuff he mentioned in the video.
