Case for £80-£130

robfosters · 10 Aug 2011 at 15:54

Going to be housing an i5 2500k and gtx580 system.

Need something that is well built and looks stylish. I would also like it windowed if possible.

I love the 600T, but it has no window. Size does not matter. Bigger the better.

What about the White 600T, which does have a window http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-043-CS. Currently its a little outside your specified spend limit, but it does come up on special fairly often which usually brings it below £130.

corsair obsidian 650d, plus you can buy a windowed door for it

a tenner over budget tho

I like the Silverstone. Just don't know if I could get used to the motherboard rotation. Just looks wrong to me!!

You'll get used to it soon enough. I bought the FT02 a week or so ago and haven't regretted it at all.

No I understand that. What I suppose I really meant was it looks too unconventional.

It looks much more natural to me. Looking at a raven or the FT02 makes me think that we have just been doing it all wrong for such a long time.

Thats the white version that some lucky guy owns on these forums.

It looks right to me.

You get a windowed door free with it, its the 700D that doesn't have a windowed door.

I got the Raven RV02 white too, posted some pics in another thread although not quite as tidy as the above but the case is way better than my previous Antec 902 which was a good case.

I would go with a RV02(get white if you can) or RV03 at that price range for sure otherwise Lancool Dragonlord K62/Coolermaster Dominator II/Corsair 600T White.

I have opted for the Obsidian 650D.

Slightly overbdget but it seems worth it to me. I have'nt seen one in the flesh but can anyone tell me is the front brushed aluminium?
