The SilverStone Lucid 05 is a bigger brother to the Lucid 04, being able to fit an ATX board vs. MicroATX, besides more potent liquid cooling. As such it is better suited for a larger target audience, while also improving on some functional aspects. While losing the small-form-factor appeal, these advantages make the Lucid 05 not just better value, but also more useful.

The XPG Valor Air Pro is a large variant of the original XPG Valor. As such it can hold bigger AIOs alongside longer GPUs and PSUs, while sporting the same metal front design. Besides coming equipped with four hub mounted ARGB fans, you also get the ability to rotate the expansion slots for vertical GPU mounting.

The ASUS Prime AP202 is the newest microATX case in the Prime family. It sports a bent glass panel and patented slot vent to separate the PSU/storage compartment from the rest of your system while still offering good cooling. With quality in mind, this case may cost more than other microATX cases but could be a great fit to those who want that sturdiness and design in a more compact size class.

The CPS PCCooler K101 Mesh clocks in at just under 12L in volume, making it a very compact, air cooling focused SFF enclosure. Offering the usual sandwich design, it manages to stick to the functional basics, but also includes three slim fans, so you can spend the rest of your budget on the best components possible.
