XT Pro Ultra
Mesh on the front, mesh on the top, four fans in the box, and a price that leaves the money where it belongs, which is in the graphics card. Nothing about it is fancy and nothing about it is wrong, and a first build in this case will run cooler than the same parts in a sealed glass box twice the price.
- Best for
- A first build, or any build where the budget should go to parts rather than to the box.
- Watch out
- The materials feel like the price: thinner steel, more flex in the panels, and a plastic front. The included fans are loud at full speed, so plan on a fan curve rather than leaving them on the motherboard default.
