The short version
Fractal's Meshify 3 Black RGB TG Light Tint is a mid tower with a rockface mesh front, an air guide that steers intake toward the GPU, and three Momentum 14 fans included. It fits 349 mm GPUs, 173 mm coolers, a 360 mm front radiator and a 280 mm top radiator. Gamers Nexus benchmarked the case and headlined it as a new best. Plan around its modest GPU clearance compared with larger airflow cases.
