I'm looking to build a PC and I've decided on a MATX case. I want one that not only looks great but also has good airflow. I'm finding it a bit tricky to find the right one, so if anyone has suggestions on cases that meet these criteria, I'd really appreciate it! My budget is between $65 and $125.

I also found the Corsair 2500x to be a decent pick if you’re looking for style and performance. It’s an affordable option that meets those needs. All in all, make sure to catch the right balance between looks and airflow!
If you're interested, I have the Fractal Meshify 2 Mini listed for sale. It’s good for airflow and looks sharp too! Plus, it’s compact and has decent compatibility.
Here are a few options to consider:
1. **Lian Li A3-mATX**: Excellent airflow and attractive design, but tight for some setups and lacks included fans. Best with an AIO cooler.
2. **Lian Li O11 Mini V2**: Gorgeous 'fishtank' style and supports vertical GPUs, although it's on the larger side.
3. **NZXT H3 Flow**: Offers a standard layout for easy builds and looks nice but only comes with one fan.
4. **Phanteks XT M3 / XT V3**: Stylish fishtank appearance but larger size and tight PSU compatibility.
5. **Jonsbo D32 Mesh / Z20**: Very compact but compromises on airflow and has no fans.
For a clean look, go with the H3 Flow. If you prefer something flashier with RGB, the XT models or O11 Mini V2 would be great choices.
The Lian Li A3 is super popular for a reason—great airflow and a sleek design. Just keep in mind that it can be a bit cramped depending on your components, and it doesn’t include fans, so you might want to plan for that with your setup.
