The Corsair 3200D is affordable and cool

The Corsair 3200D redefines budget case greatness: it doesn't look cheap and it doesn't feel cheap, yet it costs just $80. It ships with three RS120 fans (or three RS120 ARGB for $10 more) and a front Type-C port (USB 3.2 Gen 2), giving it a surprisingly polished feel for the price.

The front panel sports a grooved 'Y' design and the case includes three dust filters—magnetic ones on the front and top and a clip-held filter under the PSU. With the front filter fitted I measured only a 0.3 m/s airflow difference, so the filtration doesn't heavily restrict intake.

All three fans come preinstalled in the front, which means there's no rear exhaust fan in the box. Adding bottom and rear fans made little difference to GPU temperatures in testing, while running the included fans at higher rpm did lower CPU delta temperatures.
