I'm building a PC for a friend who has a home filled with cats, and I've noticed a lot of cat hair in their living room. I'm looking for recommendations on cases that can help minimize the accumulation of fur. Ideally, I'd like to find something in the Micro-ATX size. Also, are there any tips on fan setups or filters that would help keep the inside of the case cleaner? For example, I've seen suggestions like using a riser to keep the case elevated or avoiding floor intake fans altogether.

You can use just about any case as long as it's off the floor, especially on carpets. Bottom intakes aren't ideal because of the hair, so a front intake would work better. If you're feeling adventurous, you might try a dual chamber case laid horizontally with no fans facing up or down to reduce cat hair issue.
I’ve got a Meshify Mini C and love it! It has an extra filter in both the front and bottom, which really helps with the fur situation.
What fan setup are you using with it?
I like the dual chamber idea, but I'm worried cats will still try to sit on it. Guess they'd do that no matter how I set it up!
