Best PC Case

Cyberpower MA-01
Cyberpower is a rare entrant in the field of PC cases, but this thoughtful tower chassis looks like a home run from its feet to its top vent. Every square inch of the MA-01 interior is designed with intention. Instead of leaving its PC case fans exposed to view, they're all housed behind panels that use air-directing slits to focus airflow intelligently while creating a subtle-looking glow inside the case. Additionally, three analog dials ("MA" stands for "Modern Analog") located on the lower right corner of one side panel allow you to manually fine-tune the individual R, G, and B values for the case lighting, as well as switch lighting pulse patterns. Curved glass with a substantive surround frame and a nifty slide-in panel that covers the unused PCI Express slot positions express a superb attention to detail. The case comes in dark silver, beige, and black, and to "top" it off, you can get versions with the top vent covered by a superbly curved grille made of hard, shaped stainless steel wire, much like the steel mesh you see on high-end microphones. —John Burek
