Best PC case under 200 €
Airflow, cooling and room for the graphics card: cases under 200 € in stock, ranked on what keeps the machine cool.
A case is judged on its airflow first. A mesh front lets cool air reach the fans, where a solid or glass front chokes it: a few degrees less on the graphics card means less noise and clock speeds held for longer. Next come the fan mounts, six or seven being plenty for a gaming PC, then the room left for the graphics card, since recent models often exceed 330 mm. The form factor decides which motherboard the case takes: an ATX tower accepts every board, a micro-ATX case is more compact but more demanding to build in. Cable routing, dust filters and front access make the difference day to day. This ranking only includes models in stock at VoltCore, at catalogue prices; the configurator automatically checks the card length and the form factor, so a build that does not fit is flagged before you pay for anything at all.

How this ranking is computed
The index favours mesh fronts first, then the number of fans that can be fitted, then the maximum graphics card length accepted. Neither price nor looks enter the calculation. Only cases in stock, at catalogue prices.
Limitations to keep in mind
The index measures neither noise, nor dust filter quality, nor the number of fans actually supplied: it reads the possible mounts. Colour variants of the same case count as a single model. Prices and stock are today's.
If you are new to this
"Airflow" is the path air takes through the case: it enters at the front, flows past the components and leaves at the back and top. A "mesh" front is a fine grille that lets this air through.
