Cheap as chips case

gee3000 · 27 Dec 2009 at 18:06

Got an old P4 system lying around taking up space, so I want to give it a makeover (ie. pull the wool over someones eyes ¬.¬), tidy it up a bit and sell it.

What's the cheapest case I can get with atleast a little bit of build quality.

I've used this one before and it was pretty decent, but 'sounded' cheap (ie. wobbly 'rolf harris' panels), and the front perforated design looked a bit cheap too:

Also considering this one, unless it's total crap:

What's it in at the minute?

If you're selling it then you don't want 'build quality', you want flashy looks. The best thing to do with a system like that is to stick it on the bay and advertise it for 'fools', like 'shiny new PC'. There happens to be a competitor that has a huge selection of cheap half decent cases... (sent you a message).

It's been in one of these old school 'bad boys' (lol hardly) for the last 4-5 years:

It's pretty battered up now, entire front door's missing, 1 5.25" bay cover missing, floppy cover missing, power button missing, infact the entire front panel is holding on to dear life by electric tape lol, side panel fan grill missing (no fan either) and side panel is bent at bottom rear. Yeah.

I'm going for shiny but don't want something that will break when they press the power button.

The Coolermaster Elite is better than both those choices, but if you can afford an extra tenner get the 300

Antec 300 is crap. Not worth the £40, especially if your just looking to sell it on.
