Buyer rule
Measure before the cart
Start with sustained GPU heat, storage bays, PSU headroom, cable room, and access for maintenance before choosing the case style.
Local AI workstation cases
Choose the local AI case around sustained GPU load
Local AI workstations can keep a GPU loaded for long sessions while also filling storage and warming the case. Use these lanes to compare large airflow cases and the support cart around them.

Risk
Avoid the fit surprise
The common mistake is choosing a pretty case with poor service access, limited intake, or no room for storage and power cables.
Amazon case lanes

Before checkout
- Treat sustained GPU load as the thermal target, not a short gaming burst.
- Check storage mounting, M.2 heat, and cable-routing space.
- Confirm PSU length and GPU power-cable bend room.
- Plan cleaning access for dust filters and front intake.
