KITGURU SHORTLISTS: THE BEST CASE OF 2026

It has been a year since we first saw the budget TG3 on show at Computex 2025 and we have finally got our hands on a sample for review. The main components are a unibody 360mm fan in the side of the case with two glass panels and RGB lighting galore. The shock is that this case is remarkably cheap, but despite that it is solidly built and offers decent quality...

Our review of the Fractal Define Define One TG started in the usual way with an initial assessment and then improved with every hour that we worked with the case. We ended up with a single negative point about the lack of support for a 360mm cooler in the roof of the case. Every feature that Fractal Design boasts about works well and even the features they don't mention also work well.

At $70 MSRP for the standard version, the O11 Vision-M offers good value considering the excellent build quality, cooling performance and hardware support it provides. Even the $130 digital version feels reasonably priced given the quality of the integrated display. If you want a compact case with strong airflow, premium aesthetics and high-end hardware support, the O11 Vision-M is an easy one to recommend.

If you’re after a dual-chamber case that prioritises clean looks, solid build quality and good hardware compatibility, the Pop 2 Vision makes a strong case for itself. While it may not give the absolute chart-topping thermals of a high airflow mesh case, with a 360mm top AIO, cooling is also pretty decent for a dual-chamber chassis.

Taken as a whole, the Lancool 217 INF is a well-executed refresh of an already great chassis that retains all the positive features of the original while adding a more striking front aesthetic. If you’re after a mid-tower that delivers strong airflow, great thermals, and a clean and simple building experience, all wrapped in a unique-looking package, the Lian Li Lancool 217 INF is a very well-rounded option that’s easy to recommend, especially at this price point.
