Swedish PC hardware mainstay Fractal makes some great cases – in fact, you’ll find three of them currently on our Best PC Cases list. And the company is back with its airflow-focused Meshify 3 and 3 XL chassis. The cases combine the company’s iconic triangle-pattern mesh front with three 140 mm fans and a scooped air guide behind the lowest fan that is designed to direct airflow at your GPU.
Other interesting features and design choices include robust cable routing with dual-channel removable plastic cable brackets, and RGB fans (on some models) that plug into an included magnetic hub via a single cable.
