Corsair Crystal Series 680X RGB

With its built-in addressable RGB lighting and USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C, the Corsair Crystal Series 680X RGB is a very stylish premium chassis. We just wish the company had included a riser cable for vertically mounting the graphics card and made front filter removal easier, especially given its $250 (£215.45) price.
