I purchased the Lian Li Dan A3 mATX case and I absolutely love it. It’s got mesh side panels, support for long and heavy GPUs, room for a heck ton of system fans. I have built two systems in it so far and the process was a breeze with this case.
Mounting the PSU, hard-disk drives/SSDs are simple. Air flow is good if you have the correct fan configuration set up. I have two intakes at the bottom for the GPU and one exhaust at the back (maybe I’ll change the exhaust to top). The front panel connectors are stitched together and simple to connect. It’s got a front USB-C.
It being a mesh panel means air flow will be slightly better but the noise will leak out under heavy sustained loads. I purchased mine for INR 7,900/- from Computech but it was the wooden variant (for asthetics ). If you’re looking for a stealthy look, you may go with the all black variant. You’ll save some money on it too.
Go with Antec P20CE (solid side variant) — it is the only case under ₹8K in current Indian online retail with a solid side panel and front USB-C.
If you’re okay with a tempered glass side panel, the best available options under ₹8K are:
@cattynip Nice suggestion, looks good! But I’m not sure if a mesh panel is ideal for a dusty environment. Do you notice dust building up inside over time?
Yeah, I don’t want a glass panel, I want to hide my PC internals and bad wire management
P20CE looks like the perfect option then if there’s nothing else in that range. Thank You @TADPOOL
Yes, dust will build up over time more-so as it has mesh side panels. Mine comes with two dust filters, one for the bottom intake fans and the other one at the front of the case for PSU air flow. I have the PSU oriented towards the front for the same reason. I clean the filters every two weeks and a deep clean once in 6 months.
