CiT Classic Midi ATX PC Case and 500w PSU Included, Budget Friendly Business and Office Solution | Black

Product Information

Generally speaking, a mid-tower PC case will house all, but the most extreme of system builds. If you're trying to cram in discrete water cooling loops for your graphics card and high-end CPU, you might find things are a bit too cramped inside. But for most high-end gaming PCs, a mid-tower case will be plenty big enough for your needs.

It is possible that a larger case can offer greater cooling, particularly with the potential for more airflow around the main heat-generating parts of the PC, such as the CPU and graphics card. But without sufficient fans creating that airflow, a bigger case can still lead to heat build-up without them being correctly positioned. Whether you're pulling together a whole new PC, or just rehousing ready for some upgrades, these mid-tower cases will offer enough space—far more than the best Mini-ITX cases do. When searching for the best mid-tower PC case, keep an eye out for those with ease of access to your components, good fan and radiator support, great airflow, and high build quality.

Overview

With support for an array of hardware and extensive custom liquid cooling, the Raijintek PAEAN Premium Mid Tower Case is a true gem. Its clever three-chamber construction and chic design is both an eye-catcher and a PC enthusiast's dream, able to accommodate up to three 360mm radiators. Constructed in both steel and aluminium with a front and side panel of 4mm tempered glass, the Raijintek PAEAN Premium is as robust as it is sleek. The Features of Raijintek PAEAN Premium Mid Tower Case at a Glance: The Raijintek PAEAN Premium Mid Tower Case has an intelligent 3-chamber design with plenty of space for hardware, and is primed for custom liquid cooling.

I found that the 011 Dynamic is great for a custom loop, as there are many excellent distro plates that can fit into the front of the PC-O11, but it's just as well suited to your usual AiO or air-cooled setups. You can install AiO and radiators up to 360mm pretty much anywhere you are on the top, bottom, and side of the case. Of course, Corsair is no stranger to RGB lighting, and this PC case is covered head-to-toe in the stuff. That's because it's more than a PC case: it's three LL120 fans, six RGB lighting strips, and the Commander Core XT controller. And, yeah, a special PC case. Keeping your interiors tidy, the side chamber holds the PSU and cables, as well as space for your hard drive. The Raijintek PAEAN Premium can house up to 2 x 3.5” HDDs or 2 x 2.5” SSDs, giving you plenty of storage options.

The Y60 also makes a vertical mount of your graphics card a doddle, with a robust riser cable attached to the chassis in two places to keep it and the GPU steady. Cooler Master's H500M is the company's latest flagship mid-tower, but we'd rather it be called a full-sized tower. Measuring 21.4 x 9.8 x 21.5 inches, the H500M is one of the biggest mid-towers on this list. Thanks to its large size and internal layout, it's straightforward to build in and supports a huge variety of components and custom cooling options. This PC case is on the smaller side of those we've tested, but it's still compatible with motherboards right up to EATX. That's made possible by a clever internal layout that puts functionality and ease-of-use up-front for the user, as much as it makes everything look great. Being able to mount a full 360mm chip chiller's radiator into the roof of the case frees up a lot of wiggle room.
