MSI MAG FORGE 110R

6.1/10verdict: good, not the best

The MSI MAG FORGE 110R is for budget builders who want a full-size ATX mid-tower with room for a long graphics card and a 240 mm radiator. It suits people who plan to add their own fans, since only one is fitted. One owner mentions good space and cable management, and two praise value for money.

7.2/10verdict: buy

The NZXT H6 Flow is for builders who want a mid-tower with strong cooling and an easy build. It suits gaming and general desktop systems with a graphics card, an air cooler or a top-mounted radiator, and only a few drives. It is less suited to storage-heavy builds or anyone who wants a quiet system at full fan speed.
