Top PC Cases 2023

If your motherboard lacks an audio shroud, the Thermaltake Level 20 RS ARGB case should prove smooth sailing to build a blingy PC in. But a vexing PCIe-slot mounting snag mars a chassis already awkwardly straddling the market's midrange and high end.

We like its over-the-top styling, class-leading thermal performance, and the inclusion of a USB 3.1 Type-C port. But this chassis is a dirt, dust and pet-hair magnet that also lacks features common in most high-end cases. It's difficult to recommend at its current $350 price.

Overall, enthusiasts shopping for a feature packed, attractive, builder-friendly case for an exceptionally quiet system build, will no doubt find the Corsair Obsidian 500D a viable option. Overclockers and performance enthusiast will need to factor in the cost of added fans and/or water cooling components to the price of their system build to compensate for lacking thermal performance. In the end, we believe this chassis would be a much better value in the $120 range.

Buyers looking for superb style to house their entry-level hardware could find good value in the BitFenix Nova TG. Performance enthusiasts need not apply.

If no PC case is too over-the-top for your needs, The Tower 900 from Thermaltake might be the case you need.

With its low price, compact size, and ability to pack a decent amount of hardware, the ML08 wins our seal of approval for those looking for a great HTPC or mini gaming case.

Poor dust filter design and a paucity of included fans justify the Bitfenix Aurora’s exceptional price. Buyers who were planning to add their own fans will still find a glass-paneled case bargain, as long as they can tolerate the dust filter inconveniences.
