Best White Full Tower For An Air Cooled System?

BESTHARDWARE · Jan 19, 2025

Can you please give some recommendations for what you would consider to be the best White Full Tower for an air cooled system?

Aesthetically I like the Darkbase Pro 901, except that the Qi Charger ruins it for me. I don't want that, and I don't want to remove it either because then it would leave a gap at the top.

So I am ruling out the 901, but if there is something that is aesthetically similar to that, and also a full tower, then that would be good.

I also prefer to have the power button, and the reset button, and some USB connections, on the front side of the tower (but not on the top).

Right now I am using a Corsair 750D, and I like how that looks aesthetically, except that it is many years old and I need a new tower for my new computer that I am going to build this year. And also that is Black, but I want my new tower to be White.

I also want my new tower to be in a conventional shape (meaning, not towers that are wider from side to side than they are from front to back).

Please advise me as to what you think would good towers for me to consider?

Thank you.

i mean there is "Fractal Design Torrent White TG Clear Tint" or "Fractal North XL /Midi Tower white". but i would propose to really go with a medium tower like asus gt 502 cause large towers are too large. i will never again buy a large tower

In a way I can agree that larger towers are too large. In most ways, they are.

On the other hand, I remember when I used to use mid towers instead of full towers, and with mid towers, plugging cables in or unplugging cables, and also, taking hardware out, or putting hardware in, was a major pain, because there is so little space.

i got mine previous big tower because it was 11 years ago back in era "let me put 3 gpu in sli", but these days especially with midtower cases where you can have 3 fans at bottom/top/side even a midtower is enough for sufficient cooling with one gpu

if you really want one, i would go with Fractal Design Torrent White TG Clear Tint. it has 2 huge front fans, so noise is not big, and gamersnexus have a review of that case and i think its like in top 5 of least noisy cases. its just quite expensive, depending whether you want see through side panel, btw psu is on top in rear, so gravity of case is different from most cases.

and there exists a smaller medium one called fractal design torrent compact, looks same, but these 2 cases have has issues with cables in general. i just use the nvme and have no other hdds/ssd in case so i dont use many cables, but other people could have issues. and with psu being on top of the case it is problematic for modular case which may not have too long cables or in general when you are handling the case the center of gravity is different

I really think the GT 502 might be best option can cost 100 bucks without fans 165 with 4 rgb fans tough its kinda wider but still easy to handle.

my case is a prebuilt and cpu does get hot 80-90 during full load but mostly 43C during normal work, but its so small

approximately 15.5 inches (39.4 cm) in height, 6.5 inches (16.5 cm) in width, and 14.5 inches (36.8 cm)

I had a louder top fan and then the temps were lower during max usage, but i was hitting 40 decibel, while now with an RGB less louder fan i am around 32-34decibel

I spent a lot of time shopping cases recently and the white full towers I thought were best were the Lian Li 011 XL and the Phantek NV9.

If I had bought a full tower, it would have been one of those two. However, I thought they were a bit too big and bought a large mid-tower (Havn 420) instead. The other large mid tower contender was the BeQuiet light base 900.
