Hi guys,

I'm currently using a Sharkoon T28. I feel that the airflow for the T28 is not that great, and it feels flimsy to me too. Due to space constraint, my CPU is placed under the table. Hence I like to find a mid-tower case which can reduce the heat build up (even if a little bit) despite being under the table.

I'm currently looking at these options. Right now, I'm leaning towards the Arc Midi 2 because it has good airflow, air filters for all intake, removable hdd cage, and a simple design.

Hoping to hear your opinions :)

If you are looking for great cooling capabilities the 500r is one of the best out there.

In terms of good quality also.

But imo, if you can go 500R i dont see why you cant go 540 Air. Cause the width size difference is just 12cm away.

thanks guys,

I like how the fractal design looks, but I will go look into the Corsair 540 before making a decision. And yea, I will definitely be adding more fans

If your table/floor can have at least 30-35cm of width for allowance, get the Corsair 540.

I like how easy it is to clean the dust filters at the front btm and top. Will be very good if you have a dusty room
