NZXT H510 Elite

Next up is the NZXT H510 Elite. This is more of a cube case than a traditional PC case. This is an upgrade to NZXT H500 with a tempered glass panel on the front and the side; it gave us a nice view of its internals.

One thing we loved about this case was modern aesthetics with an RGB fan and clean design. The built-in cooling system will optimize airflow to create the most silent fan configuration it can find.

PSU shroud has optimal space

Cons:

Design isn’t for everybody making it less build friendly
A bit costly for it’s performance
GPU placement puts GPU fans against power supply wall

The Bottom Line

You’ll want to give the NZXT H510 Elite some serious consideration. It looks, unlike any other computer case we’ve seen, and comes loaded with advanced functionality. This makes it one of the best cases of the year.

In Win 301 White ATX

Third on our list is the In Win 301 White ATX. If you want a simpler, no-nonsense case with strong minimalist elements, then this is the case for you. We found the In Win 301 to be a sturdy, functional, and full metal frame.
The In Win has a tempered glass front panel which snaps easily into an all-white metal frame. If you want to use this for gaming or intensive video editing, then you can install up to six fans. We loved that this case mounts the GPU in a special holder above the rest of the build, which reduces vibrations and keeps it away from all other heat sources.

Key Features:

Supports Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX

Fans supported:
- Front: 2 x 120mm/ 120mm radiator
- Bottom: 2 x 120mm

Finally, the addition of a single blue LED strip along the front corner gave this case a touch of modernity.

Pros:

Excellent build quality
Pure minimalism design
Up to six fans
Excellent GPU stability

Cons:

Poor cable management
Plastic feet look cheap
No fans included
Airflow isn’t optimized

The Bottom Line

The In Win 301 is an excellent, pure-minimalist case that manages to remain classy yet no-nonsense at the same time. Even with the honeycomb design, we found this had some issues to call it the best airflows of all the cases.

MasterCase H500P mesh white ATX

Next up is the white MasterCase H500P, which we consider a dream case for any hardcore gamer. This beast looks awesome. It reminds us of the set of the first Death Star. White bars and black mesh make up the frame, while a shaded tempered glass panel shows off its internals. And in true Star Wars fashion, two huge LED lights light up the massive 200-millimeter fans in the face.

Pros:

Awesome look and build
Massive cooling fans
Great cable management

Cons:

Plastic components feel cheap
Reduced air flow
Tempered glass gets hot to the touch

The Bottom Line

In our review, we found this case was the best choice for gamers. If you’re a Star Wars fan, then this is probably the best computer case of all time.

Phanteks Eclipse P400S

Fifth in our search is the Phanteks PH-EC416PSTG_WT Eclipse P400S Silent PC Case. After a few backlashes on their previous model, Phanteks has finally delivered a worthy competitor.

Pros:

Easy to build
Good cable management
Silent Airflow
All-metal construction gives a rich feel
10 config RGB and LED lights with eye pleasing colors

Cons:

Grill design might be a turn of for some

Compared to the previous model, Phanteks made a far better improvement in design. At this price point, PH-EC416PSTG_WT Eclipse is a real steal. In true Phanteks fashion, the case is made with high-grade materials and has well-thought-out internals.

Fractal Design Meshify S2

The Fractal Design made our list thanks to its unique design and impressive airflow capabilities. It is a larger version of Meshify C and has a higher airflow as well.

While the frame itself is white, and there’s a large tempered glass panel on the side, the rest of the case is multiple shades of black. For instance, there’s a huge two-toned black mesh panel on the front. It’s striking and different.

Key Features:

Supports Micro-ATX, Mini-ITX, ATX and up to 285mm wide (E-ATX) motherboard

Fans supported:
- Front: 3 x 120–140 mm
- Top: 3 x 120–140 mm

Another feature we loved about this mid-tower case is its liquid cooling support with adjustable reservoir brackets and removable top bracket. This is a case for a GPU-intensive user, but if you are a home office worker, we would recommend Meshify C.

Pros:

Stunning two-tone black mesh panel
Great air flow
Lots of interior room
Great for liquid cooling with multiple radiator and fan options

Cons:

Whites are a little off-color
PSU management is difficult as the case is harder to access
Expensive.
The bottom dust filter is known to rattle

The Bottom Line

If it weren’t for that awesome mesh grill, this would be a plain-looking case. That being said, this Fractal Design stands out with a unique look thanks to the two black tones which complement the white frame. It’s definitely a keeper!

RaidMax Monster II SE

Seventh on our list is the RaidMax Monster II “SE”, or Special Edition. At first glance, you would think this is the most boring white plastic box we could choose for this, but then when you see the tempered glass panel and the stunning blue LED lighting system, you change your mind.

Key Features:

Supports Micro-ATX, Mini-ITX and ATX

Fans supported:
- Front: 2×120mm / 140mm
- Top: 2×120mm / 2×140mm

We do not recommend it for liquid cooling.
7 Expansion slots.
Front I/O with USB 3.0 x 2, 2 x Audio In/Out ports (H.D support).

This PC case comes with a handle. However, the case is not ideal for portability, and the handle is pure aesthetics. In our review, we found the two 140-millimeter fans with LED lights to be the best size for a decent case. Also, there is a fantastic cable management here. RaidMax has doubled the space for your cables, keeping everything neat and clean.

Pros:

Excellent cable management
Awesome LED lighting
Great fans
Great tempered glass panel

Cons:

Case is a little on the boring side
Two USB ports isn’t enough

The Bottom Line

Thanks to the glitzy LED lighting and crisp glass panel, this computer case looks stunning. However, we found that the rest of the case was incredibly plain and plasticky-looking.

CORSAIR CRYSTAL 280X Micro-ATX Case

Next is the CORSAIR CRYSTAL 280X Micro-ATX Case. Because not everybody is rocking a full build, we decided to find the best white chasis for micro builds. This is a dual-chamber layout case with the power supply and hard drive is shifted at the back.

Key Features:

Supports Micro-ATX and ITX motherboard

2×120mm / 140mm Fans and 240 rad supported at the front, top and bottom.

Dust filter at the top, front and bottom.
7 Expansion slots.
Front I/O with USB 3.0 x 2, USB 3.5 x 2, 2 x Audio In/Out ports.

There’s a half tempered glass at the front and top panel and a full tempered glass at the side. It is pretty wide compared to other micro-atx cases but it’s unique design makes the system worth it.

Pros:

Clean and modern design
Excellent cable management
Easy to build and disassemble the case

Cons:

No open exhaust fan at the back, restricting air flow
Side panel has no pegs making it less sturdy

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking at a micro build, then the CORSAIR CRYSTAL 280X case is possibly the best all-around micro atx case. The dual chamber layout gives a unique vive to your build. For a micro atx case it wins our heart.

Corsair iCUE 220T RGB Airflow Tempered Glass

Finally, we chose the Corsair iCUE 220T RGB case to round out the year’s best list. During our review, we found some of the best ventilation you can get in a PC case. The case is designed to have the best airflow making it perfect for gamers.

Key Features:

Supports Micro-ATX, ATX and ITX

Fans supported:
- Front: 3×120mm / 2x 140mm
- Rear: 1×120mm

Full magnetic dust filter at the front and top. And, a semi dust filter at the bottom.
7 Expansion slots.

This case beats every other cases for airflow. The front panel allows air with it’s uniquely designed ventillation. The built-in RGB in the fans gives a cool lightning effect. It is a close replica of Meshify C.

Pros:

Visually stunning with cool frontal design
Decent Airflow
Can support up to six fan

Cons:

Cable management is not that great
No exhaust fans
Little compact compared to other mid sizes cases in the market

The Bottom Line

This case aced visually and truly delivered what it promised when it comes to airflow. The only issue we have is the poor cable management and smaller space.

What You Need To Know

When you’re setting out to buy yourself a white case, you should follow the same buying rules you would for any case. That is, what size is it, does it have enough cooling, and does it match the rest of your build or even your office. Remember, you want a case that you’ll love to show off, but which will also keep your computer running smooth.

What size do I need?

Choose your PC case based on what you’re fitting inside. If you’re gaming, then in most scenarios you’ll want a full case or at least a mid-tower which can accommodate a full-sized motherboard. If you’re going with a basic home office processor, then a mid-tower will do fine.

How much cooling do I need?

Cooling is one of the most important aspects of a PC, especially if you’re going to be gaming or editing graphics and video. In those cases, you’ll want a case with the option to add liquid cooling. For home office, you’ll want something with at least two fans.

What about cables?

One issue we found while we reviewed these cases was that many had poor cable management. You want to make sure that your cables are tucked away, and aren’t blocking airflow. Also, the last thing you want is a cable to snag on a board and yank it out of its slot. Make sure whichever case you choose has decent cable management.

Our Final Thoughts

Hands down, the best white computer case for most people is the Corsair Crystal 460X RGB. However, it does have some drawbacks with cable management, so you may want to consider if that’s an issue for you or not. All in all, the ten cases we chose all have decent cooling, a stunning white design, and most are enough for gamers and home offices. We even found a micro-case, if that’s your thing!
