MSI MAG PANO 100L PZ WHITE

5.6/10verdict: good, not the best

The MSI MAG PANO 100L PZ WHITE is for builders who want a glass showcase mid tower and will buy their own fans. It suits people planning a back-connect motherboard build or a liquid-cooled system with large radiators. It is a poorer fit for anyone who wants a case that is ready to run with fans fitted.

NZXT H6 Flow

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.
