Minimalist case
This is a great box for the price. Good connections on the front (including usb c, so perfect for vr). With 3 fans, temperatures are OK and noise is almost non-existent. I'm very happy with this case.

Bought at a bargain price (there was a 12% discount), I was really won over by the performance and perceived quality of this little box (even though I'm more used to big premium boxes).
It's well thought out, very breathable (despite the absence of a front fan), and the configuration that's installed (i5 10400 / 32 GB / RX 6600) stays cool, all with the possibility of a good cable management.
Thanks to LDLC for this great deal, especially at less than 44€ (at the time of purchase) and with its 3-year warranty!
It's a pretty good case that's big enough to accommodate somewhat imposing graphics cards, with sufficient openings to manage cables properly, and which seems open enough to allow plenty of airflow.
The build quality is decent, although I would have appreciated some ribbing on certain parts to stiffen them up a bit, as the sheet metal is generally rather thin.
NB: Cable management at the bottom of the motherboard must be carried out before installing the power supply, as the latter partially obstructs the openings that can still let cables through, but not the connectors.
