ProArt PA602 E-ATX Computer Case 420mm Radiator Support, Dual 200mm Built-in Fans, Front Panel IR dust Indicator, Power Lock Latch, Tool-Less PCIe mounting & GPU Holder, 20Gbps USB-C Front I/O

Best case I've ever owned, easiest case to build in, the rear-side panel even has labeled holes for where to run cables to the mobo. Included wheels made it super easy to move it in/out from under desk and the included fans are extremely quiet while pushing A LOT of air. I also really liked that the front panel/dust detector and case fan cables were already properly plugged in and very neatly managed/organized under the side panel. Built a stealthy no-lighting vertical mounted 4090 + 13900k build. If you are top-mounting a radiator make sure you check the manual online and ensure there is enough clearance for the thickness of the radiator setup. I did not do this so my radiator is just sitting on top not screwed in, however it can't possibly fall through so it's really no issue.

Let me say this from the jump, this case is for those whose computer usage requires high-end processors or multiple GPUs like the RTX 5090, i.e. editors, 3D artists, data miners, etc. Unless future expandability is a consideration, its size may be overkill for most gamers and those that don't need the extra space. I purchased this case as part of a new build due to overheating issues I encountered with my previous build, which was housed in a regular ATX case with 2 RTX 3070s. I work as a video editor and 3D artist who does a large amount of rendering and other processor-intensive tasks. With reports circulating at the time on heating issues with the higher-end Nvidia GPUs (I have two RTX 5080s) and Intels Arrow Lake CPUs (I have a Core Ultra 9), I worked on prioritize airflow when it came to case selection. 14 months later and I can say I couldn't be happier. The case itself is solid and very well-built from the dust filters to the glass panel, with parts that feel premium across the board. It comes with two large fans that run extremely quiet at high speeds, with plenty of space for additional fans or AIOs.. Its massive size not only helps with airflow, but it makes assembly that much easier even with multiple GPUs. It's also comes with wheels pre-built into the case itself, which makes it easy to move without having to physically lift it. Overall, I could see using this case for years so long as everything that can't be replaced holds up. If I can get two builds out of this case (or a decade of use) before having to replace it, I absolutely would consider it money well spent. An easy recommendation for professionals across the board.

The Best

I bought this case with the matching ASUS LC 420 3 x 140mm radiator to tame a 14900k that I had previously in an olde Antec P182 with a Dark Rock 4 Pro cooler (ProArt Z690). I would recommend installing the fans to point down in a pull configuration under the radiator, for several reasons: 1-Push or Pull makes no measurable difference in cooling (tested), 2 - There is a lot of open mesh at the back of the case and with the back and rad fans pushing up and out the top and back it was difficult to keep positive pressure in the case. The result was unfiltered air coming into the case through the back mesh. 3 - It makes zero sense to me to have the top filter filtering dust out of the EXAUST air. 4 - It is MUCH easier to CLEAN both the fans and the rad in the PULL configuration, Any dust that gets past the top filter can be vacuumed off the top of the rad, and the side of the fans that get dirty (hi pressure side) are exposed on the inside of the case. In the PUSH-OUT config you have to pull the fans off completely to clean the rad. A great feature of the case is the ability to put standard office chair wheels onto it. The two little wheels on the back are cute but don't really help much. All you do is peel off the heavy rubber feet on the bottom to reveal 4 standard 11mm x 22mm wheel sockets.

This is the first high end case I bought, and my 10th or so tower build over 35 years. This was the easiest case I've ever worked with and it has great cable management. The quality is impressive, the 200 mm front fans and rear fan are very quiet (of course under high load you can hear them). The air filters are very well designed. I'm running an Asus Z790 MB with an i7-14700K, RTX3080, a 280 mm CPU water cooler from Corsair, and an Asus 1000W power supply. I was very surprised how much cooler this machine stays even with barely audible fans vs. my past few machines. Even with MS Flight Sim running maxed out its still pretty quiet. Also, no issues with regard to my 2 TB M.2 PCIe 5.0 x4 SSD heating wise using the stock heat sink on the MB. Everything fits well, just have one complaint. The 2.5" bays on the backside are set up such that a normal 90 degree SATA cable is backwards, so I think Asus should have included reverse 90 degree sata cables. But if you have a flexible set you can make it work, or just use one of the the 3.5 in bays with an adapter.
