There are quite a few things you need to have a proper gaming setup. One of these things includes a good computer case or cabinet to house the internals like the motherboard, GPU, and RAM. These computer cases also need to have a good cooling system since it will be running some high performance inside. Full-tower cases are highly recommended but they don’t come cheap so you can instead go for mid-tower cases which are still good enough and offer a lot of space.

So here’s a list of the best mid-tower gaming computer cases.

How we do our research

Our ranking criteria

We consider each gaming cabinet's specifications and features before listing them in our list. Besides this, we also keep in mind the type of connectivity they offer, cable management, mobility, build quality and aesthetic appeal.

Other than these, we also consider the type of fan they use for ventilation and additional features such as support for the water cooling system.

Things to consider before buying gaming cabinet computer cases

Right size

When it comes to cabinets, we always want something that requires less space for accommodation. You can go for a small-size cabinet if you're building a system based on Intel's 3rd gen. But if you are a gaming enthusiast then a mid-tower is a better option as it provides more room for different components and better airflow and thermal management.

Build quality and aesthetic appeal

Everyone has a different taste when it comes to looks. If you are an average user choose a cabinet on its outside looks. Determine whether you'll want a discrete, sleek exterior design or if you'd prefer something more flashy and edgy.

Besides this, look for cabinets that are made up of high-gauge metal. Also, make sure the cabinet body is thick enough because a poor and thin cabinet tends to vibrate when fans and drive start operating.

Cooling Support

Your gaming cabinet case needs decent airflow inside. Whether you opt for liquid cooling or air cooling, the case needs to accommodate enough fans.

If you are just an average gamer then you can look for a cabinet that supports a single exhaust fan. But if you are a core gamer then look for cases with multiple fan support as they will provide better thermal management and ventilation. Also, you can go for cabinet that supports a liquid cooling system.

Dust Filters

if you rarely clean your system, say, every six months, then look for a cabinet with dust filter support. Installing a dust filter will do an incredible job of stopping dust from entering the cabinet.
