Choosing a PC case is the next step after purchasing a motherboard, video card and processor cooling system. Because there are three "must":
- Have a form factor not less than the motherboard form factor.
- Be wide enough to fit the CPU cooler. For a liquid cooling system, it must have seats for its radiators.

The thicker the walls of the device, the less it amplifies low-frequency noise from fans or vibrating hard drives. The larger the metal area on the side walls, the better they dissipate heat.
But soundproofing is a useless and sometimes harmful thing. It reduces the heat dissipation of the case. For a quiet PC, buy quiet components.
Also, you do not need a fan rotation regulator - reobass. It increases the cost of the case. Smart people control the cooling through the motherboard using software.
Finally, there should be enough connectors on the front panel. USB is a must, and if there is one for headphones and a microphone, it is generally excellent.

The best cases for PC and for anonymous user
The best PC case is the one that meets the requirements in the first section of this article, suits you personally, and fits your budget. Ratings like "Most Beautiful PC Cases" or "Best Budget PC Cases" are considered irresponsible. Our experience and communication with specialists prove that there is no best thing for everyone. It is much more important and more reliable when choosing - to know how to choose. For example, our acquaintances who collect system builders call the middle towers the best, which have not been on the market for a long time. And what is the point of advising them?
In the top cases for PCs of different resources and reviewers, there are always different models. Just don't get fooled. Reasonable personal choice always takes precedence.
