If you’re a gamer, you might find it odd to deck out your build with a white computer case. But why not ditch the glowing greens of the Alienware rigs that every gamer has and go with something unique? Or, if you need a subtle, mature look for your home office, a white case would do the trick. Best of all, there are plenty to choose from. We rounded up the nine best white cases that you can buy.
The White PC Case of 2022
Finding a white case for every need took a bit of effort, but you’re sure to find one that suits your needs from our list.
Corsair Crystal 460X RGB
The best white computer case you can buy is the stunning Corsair Crystal 460X RGB. This mid-tower case uses blanched tempered glass held in place by the white metal frame. Three onboard fans keep your computer cool, and red LED fan lights really bring out the build. You can add liquid cooling as well if that’s your thing. We found that this beauty looks and feels premium. We wanted to display this case for all to see, that’s how good it looks.
NZXT H510 Elite
Next up is the NZXT H510 Elite. This is more of a cube case than a traditional PC case. This is an upgrade to NZXT H500 with a tempered glass panel on the front and the side; it gave us a nice view of its internals. One thing we loved about this case was modern aesthetics with an RGB fan and clean design. The built-in cooling system will optimize airflow to create the most silent fan configuration it can find. Key Features: In addition to the stylish look, there LED light strips inside gives it a subtle glow. In our review, we found this case to be capable and good-looking, and it tops our best list. Pros:
In Win 301 White ATX
Third on our list is the In Win 301 White ATX. If you want a simpler, no-nonsense case with strong minimalist elements, then this is the case for you. We found the In Win 301 to be a sturdy, functional, and full metal frame. The In Win has a tempered glass front panel which snaps easily into an all-white metal frame. If you want to use this for gaming or intensive video editing, then you can install up to six fans. We loved that this case mounts the GPU in a special holder above the rest of the build, which reduces vibrations and keeps it away from all other heat sources. Finally, the addition of a single blue LED strip along the front corner gave this case a touch of modernity.
MasterCase H500P mesh white ATX
Next up is the white MasterCase H500P, which we consider a dream case for any hardcore gamer. This beast looks awesome. It reminds us of the set of the first Death Star. White bars and black mesh make up the frame, while a shaded tempered glass panel shows off its internals. And in true Star Wars fashion, two huge LED lights light up the massive 200-millimeter fans in the face. We also loved the clean the cable management of this case, thanks to the PSU shroud and included cable covers. You can add up to 360-millimeters of liquid cooling as well.
Phanteks Eclipse P400S
Fifth in our search is the Phanteks PH-EC416PSTG_WT Eclipse P400S Silent PC Case. After a few backlashes on their previous model, Phanteks has finally delivered a worthy competitor. This case is full glossy metal, with removable Matt plastic at the top. There is a single half-panel tempered glass window. Sound-proofing panels surround this case at the front, top and the sides. Where the case really shines is inside. The SSD pocket has a drop and lock bracket and modular HDD system, making the installation easier with no tools required. Pros:
Fractal Design Meshify S2
The Fractal Design made our list thanks to its unique design and impressive airflow capabilities. It is a larger version of Meshify C and has a higher airflow as well. While the frame itself is white, and there’s a large tempered glass panel on the side, the rest of the case is multiple shades of black. For instance, there’s a huge two-toned black mesh panel on the front. It’s striking and different. Another feature we loved about this mid-tower case is its liquid cooling support with adjustable reservoir brackets and removable top bracket. This is a case for a GPU-intensive user, but if you are a home office worker, we would recommend Meshify C.
RaidMax Monster II SE
Seventh on our list is the RaidMax Monster II “SE”, or Special Edition. At first glance, you would think this is the most boring white plastic box we could choose for this, but then when you see the tempered glass panel and the stunning blue LED lighting system, you change your mind. This PC case comes with a handle. However, the case is not ideal for portability, and the handle is pure aesthetics. In our review, we found the two 140-millimeter fans with LED lights to be the best size for a decent case. Also, there is a fantastic cable management here. RaidMax has doubled the space for your cables, keeping everything neat and clean.
CORSAIR CRYSTAL 280X Micro-ATX Case
Next is the CORSAIR CRYSTAL 280X Micro-ATX Case. Because not everybody is rocking a full build, we decided to find the best white chasis for micro builds. This is a dual-chamber layout case with the power supply and hard drive is shifted at the back. There’s a half tempered glass at the front and top panel and a full tempered glass at the side. It is pretty wide compared to other micro-atx cases but it’s unique design makes the system worth it.
Corsair iCUE 220T RGB Airflow Tempered Glass
Finally, we chose the Corsair iCUE 220T RGB case to round out the year’s best list. During our review, we found some of the best ventilation you can get in a PC case. The case is designed to have the best airflow making it perfect for gamers. This case beats every other cases for airflow. The front panel allows air with it’s uniquely designed ventillation. The built-in RGB in the fans gives a cool lightning effect. It is a close replica of Meshify C.
What You Need To Know
When you’re setting out to buy yourself a white case, you should follow the same buying rules you would for any case. That is, what size is it, does it have enough cooling, and does it match the rest of your build or even your office. Remember, you want a case that you’ll love to show off, but which will also keep your computer running smooth.
What size do I need?
Choose your PC case based on what you’re fitting inside. If you’re gaming, then in most scenarios you’ll want a full case or at least a mid-tower which can accommodate a full-sized motherboard. If you’re going with a basic home office processor, then a mid-tower will do fine.
How much cooling do I need?
Cooling is one of the most important aspects of a PC, especially if you’re going to be gaming or editing graphics and video. In those cases, you’ll want a case with the option to add liquid cooling. For home office, you’ll want something with at least two fans.
What about cables?
One issue we found while we reviewed these cases was that many had poor cable management. You want to make sure that your cables are tucked away, and aren’t blocking airflow. Also, the last thing you want is a cable to snag on a board and yank it out of its slot. Make sure whichever case you choose has decent cable management.
Our Final Thoughts
Hands down, the best white computer case for most people is the Corsair Crystal 460X RGB. However, it does have some drawbacks with cable management, so you may want to consider if that’s an issue for you or not. All in all, the ten cases we chose all have decent cooling, a stunning white design, and most are enough for gamers and home offices. We even found a micro-case, if that’s your thing!
