I always cheaped out on this PC component, but I know better now
Skimping on the PC case is tempting, but you should resist the urge
When you're choosing components for a build, what gets the lowest priority? Most users' answer would be the PC case. Despite housing every other component, the case is often treated as an afterthought, allocated the lowest portion of the budget. This is what I used to do on each of my previous builds — only on my latest PC did I realize my mistakes. After decades of using bargain-basement cases, I finally woke up to the important role the case plays in a build. I'm using the Lian Li Lancool II Mesh right now, and going forward, I plan to build my PCs using the case as the centerpiece.
