Hey guys, can you advise what to prioritize when choosing a case for a build? Is cooling or design more important? For example, if a case looks stylish but doesn’t come with fans, is that a dealbreaker? Or should I go for one with pre-installed fans but no RGB? There are just so many options out there...
What matters most when choosing a PC case?

Ah, so I'm a student with an empty wallet too—was eyeing those sleek RGB-lit cases thinking, "Voilà, I'll have a top-tier PC." Yeah, right! Ended up buying a cheap case with no fans, thought, "I'll install them later," only to spend an hour and a half struggling because no standard cooler fit. 😅 So yeah, get one with preinstalled fans—at least you won't fry your rig before your first programming session. The rest? Later, when you've got money like Pinocchio. 🚀
Me too, I struggled when choosing my first PC case, especially since I wanted something that matched the setup of my favorite streamer. Result: I went for a model with all the RGB options, 4 RGB fans inside… and a fan died in less than two weeks because dust was piling up way too fast. Since then, I’ve been prioritizing cases with good airflow and replaceable fans, even if it means sacrificing style for now.
