Best Full Tower Gaming Cases of 2023 – Round-up Review

Best Overall:
Phanteks Enthoo Pro

• Enthoo Pro includes 1 x 200mm fan in front and 1 x 140mm fan in the rear. Ability to upgrade to...
• Appearance: Brushed plastic with an aluminum appearance; Stealth interior: hidden PSU / hidden

Another great option for a full tower case would be the Phanteks Enthoo Pro. Honestly, if you’re willing to play close to a hundred dollars, then this is a great buy we wholeheartedly recommend. Not only is it affordable, but it also comes with many high-quality features that just aren’t seen in other cases in this price range.

Compared to other cases it looks rather bland, but if looks aren’t a priority for you, then this isn’t a bad buy at all. Not only does it come with many features such as fan mounts and USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports, but it also comes with some of the best cable management we’ve seen at its price range, making your build a lot cleaner. Another pro for this case is that if you’re looking for a case that is water cooler friendly, then this is it.

This case also comes with two high-quality fans for those who’re looking for any extra value which can save you a pretty penny, if you’re looking to use as many fans as possible.

When you consider all the things you get with this case, it’s no wonder that Phanteks calls this case the Enthoo Pro. If you’re looking for something that’s going to last you for a great deal of time, you really can’t go wrong with this case.

Runner-up:
Corsair Graphite Series 780T

• Rounded corners and a sleek, cohesive design for great-looking systems
• Latched side panels for easy access. Case Windowed : Acrylic

We honestly love Corsair cases, as they make some of the best full tower cases on the market. The Corsair 780T is a behemoth that comes in at 25 pounds!

It comes in two colors; black with red lights or a slightly more expensive white case.

When you’re considering getting a case at this price level, you really want to make sure that everything is worth the price you pay and the Corsair Graphite 780T is definitely worth the price. Not only does it offer an ample amount of space, but you’re also getting excellent airflow and the ability to control how much air the fans emit with a switch on the case, which is a great feature.

One of the most important things this case offers is the ability for fantastic cable management. There’s nothing worse than building a PC that looks like a tangled mess. You also get an enormous amount of removable bays that allow you to store a lot of HDDs and SSDs, as well.

The only complaint about this case is also its biggest pro. This case is huge! Like bigger than most full tower cases. So while some may love this feature, others may absolutely think it’s overkill. It also allows for some amazing cable management. The good thing is that you’ll never have any issues when upgrading, which is why it’s one of the best cases you can get for the price.

If you’re looking for a massive full tower case that’s going to last you a long time, you really can’t go wrong with the Corsair 780T.

3. Corsair Obsidian 750D

• Generous Expansion Room for Building High-Performance Systems
• Nine PCI-E expansion slots, up to ten 3.5" or 2.5" drives and three 5.25" drive bays

If you want something that is simple and clean, then the Corsair Obsidian 750D full tower case is a wonderful buy.

Update: This case was below $100 (at the time of the original writing), though prices vary over time.

This case easily covers the most important aspects of a full tower case, including great airflow and a lot of room, so there is nothing to worry about on that front. You’ll also be getting plenty of fans, which is something that you really can’t go wrong with.

One thing that this case has over others would have to be its metal bays. While this isn’t such a big deal, it can detract from a case if it looks so nice on the outside but the inside is made of plastic.

While the Obsidian 750D isn’t the most beautiful case out there, it gets the job done exceptionally well and in the end, that’s all that really matters. You also get the pleasure of a free two-year warranty from Corsair, which is one of the reasons their brand is so well respected. This a great full tower case in its own right and would be a good buy for any gamer.

4. NXZT Phantom Full Tower Case

• Model: NZXT phantom black case type: full tower black interior chassis front panel
• Cooling systems: Front 1x140 millimeter, side 1x200 millimeter, 2x120 millimeter (included),...

As you can tell, a few manufacturers make the majority of the best full tower cases, and there’s nothing wrong with that when you consider that their cases are all so versatile and unique.

NXZT tends to have some of the most fashionable full tower cases, and if we were going off of just looks, this case would be one of our top picks. With the black and green color scheme going on, it allows for something that impresses both people who know about PCs and those who don’t. 

The NXZT Phantom is a beast in its own right. If you’re looking for something that is a little more than $100 and also super-stylish, then this is the case for you. You’ll be getting a lot of HDD and SSD bays and a heap of fan mounts. You also get plenty of fan options, which will allow you to set the ideal fan speed for the amount of cooling your PC needs.

The only issue with this case is a similar problem with most other Corsair cases. They seem to focus so much on the exterior, that they really neglect certain aspects of the interior, such as including cheap bay drives.

If you’re looking to get something that’s a slight upgrade from the cases under $100, then you can’t go wrong with the Phantom, as it combines the best of both aspects.

5. Cooler Master HAF X Full Tower Case

6. Thermaltake CHASER A71

• Advanced Liquid-Cooling Integrated Solution: Integrated LCS and CPU LCS Bigwater 850GT, with...
• Ultimate Ventilation: Preinstalled 1 x 120mm rear fan; 1 x large 200mm front fan, 2 x 200mm

If you’re considering getting something high-end, we recommend getting something that’s not just a little better but also that adds some extra value. Our top pick for that would be the Thermaltake Chaser A71 with a built-in water cooling system. Not only is this case already a good value on its own, but with the water cooling system built in, it eliminates any issues you might traditionally have with a PC.

While fans are pretty efficient at cooling a PC, if you’re really pushing your PC, then a water cooling system may be something that can extend the life of your components, as it keeps everything in tip-top shape. You also get some pretty huge fans on top of the cooling system, which further helps eliminate any overheating issues.

In the past there have been cooling issues with leaks – which explains the lower rating on Amazon. As with any liquid cooling rig, you must be very careful when setting it up and making sure all the screws are on tight.

Aside from the fantastic cooling system, this case offers pretty much anything and everything you’d expect from a full tower case at this price range. Outstanding cable management is a must for any case along with plenty of space that will allow you to upgrade your PC for years to come.

We have no complaints with Chaser A71. Yes, it’s expensive, but there are other cases cheaper on this list. If you’re looking for one of the best, then this case should be a serious contender.

7. Thermaltake LEVEL 10 GT Modular Case

• Hinged side panel to enable easier opening of the side door and access to computer for...
• User no longer "hides" the excessive cable on the back, the Level 10 GT features numerous

While this case isn’t exactly over $200 at the time of my writing of this article,though it’s probably one of the best full tower cases for someone who’s really serious about keeping a clean PC and wants something that is modular.

Other than the modular design, one can expect most other standard features from this case, so we honestly can't recommend it over some of the cheaper cases unless you want to keep a tidy PC or love the design.

So on that note, if you want a unique case that prioritizes keeping a clean PC, along with some of the best cable management you can get as of this moment, then this full tower case is made for you.

One of the cons of this case is that it can only have five removable hard drives due to the design, which might be an issue for some, but other than that, nothing else seems to be majorly affected.

8. Cooler Master Cosmos II

• Stylish and streamlined race-car inspired design
• Brushed aluminum and steel for strength and elegance

While this case is the most expensive case on this list, it’s also the most unique, considering that it looks more like a console than a full tower case. Cool Master knows how to make cases that stand out, and the appropriately named Cosmos II looks pretty, but the looks aren’t just for show. You see, the Cosmos II is made up of a full aluminum and steel chassis inside and out so you’re getting something that could last you for decades if you wanted.

So now that we’ve explained the outside, let's break down the inside for a little while. This case allows for up to ten fans inside, which is great, but what sets it apart is that it also allows up to 13 HDDs or SSDs, which is a huge amount of space. This case’s cable management is also off the charts, as you can hide each and every cable if you so desire.

Other than the fact that this case is expensive, there are no major flaws. While we wouldn’t recommend it for the average person, if you’re looking for a case made of some of the finest materials, then Cosmo II was made specifically for you.

9. NZXT H500i Full Tower Chassis

• Premium quality: All steel construction with the sleek h series design; available in four color...
• Smart device: Built in RGB and digital fan controller powered by cam, delivers Hue+ and grid+

You’ll be getting a lot of things with this chassis as well including eight PCI-E Slots, three external bays, five internal bays, two USB 3.0s, and five fan mounts. As you can see for the price, this case provides a crazy amount of value!

We'd also like to emphasize the fan mounts, as they will serve as one of your biggest boons if you care about the longevity of your build. Being that it’s a budget full tower case, you really wouldn’t expect the beautiful design, as it looks like a case that is worth double what it actually costs.

One of the complaints with this case is that its quality seems to be shifty. While the case in and of itself is beautiful, the bays that house the internal and external drives feel kind of cheap in comparison. While we understand that some sacrifices need to be made due to the price, we'd rather them have just taken out a few of them and put higher quality bays, in general.
