New Case 70£ Budget

rycon1 · 2 Dec 2011 at 11:47

Hi Ocuk,

I am looking to buy a new case for my pc

Setup: i5 2500k, 6GB (2sticks), 6970 ATI, SSD+HDD, Asus P67 saberthoot.

I need a case that fits the 6970 graphics card and can support water cooling.

Silent cases are a plus but I preferr better cooling.

Could you suggest a case that suits my needs for a 70£ budget?

Please suggest the case with best cooling on that price range.

There are a few cases on the MM that suit your needs. It's a good place to start

You need a few more posts for access to MM.

You might struggle a bit with installing decent water in to the Shinobi.
The Avenger looks like a great case for the money

It looks very good but only comes with 2 fans. I would end up having to buy 3-4 fans.

It looks like a good case but I think the Avenger is better.

Has 6 fans (2 of them are only 8m) and is bigger.

I have never bought ocuk products but this case looks really good.

I am willing to invest abit more since people reported that the avenger is not good in terms of build quality and the fans including are low rpm.

What are the toughts about this case?

What kind of fans do you recommend buying in order to add more and improve airflow?

How should I place them ? (Intake/exhaust)

Why not just get the one I suggested?

It's in your budget, comes with 3 decent 140mm fans with space for seven 140mm and one 180mm fans if you so wish. It's quiet, well made, cools well and has plenty of space.

It keeps both the CPU and GPU up to 7c cooler than the 690II with both of them using their stock fans.
