5.1/10verdict: good, not the best

The Corsair 3500X ARGB is for builders who want a glass-fronted mid-tower with room for large radiators and a big graphics card. It suits people who care about looks and liquid cooling more than the lowest possible GPU temperatures. Buyers sensitive to fan noise should read the owner feedback on the stock fans first.

6.4/10verdict: good, not the best

The Jonsbo D31 MESH Black suits builders putting an ITX, DTX or M-ATX board in a case that takes a large graphics card. It also suits anyone planning a 240, 280 or 360 mm radiator. Buyers must supply their own fans, so it works best for people happy to choose and fit them.
