- 41. Conclusion: Quality Has Improved
Because they’re not too tall and not too short, mid-tower chassis tend to be the most popular. When choosing our 13 candidates, we tried to collect a wide variety of models, based on the current market situation. Besides well known manufacturers like Silverstone and Enermax, we also found lesser-known companies offering their own interesting products.
We set out to answer a number of different questions. For example, how is the build of the case compared to others in the market? Which advantages and disadvantages do the cases have relative to each other? Are all edges sharp or rounded? Further test criteria include the ease of adding hardware components and good internal ventilation.

I've been using Antec cases (and PSUs) for years now - very pleased with the overall standard of finish and the solid construction. The cheaper models are not *the* most aesthetically pleasing but still satisfy the finish and construction requirements.
