Alternate to Corsair 650D.

Been looking at the Corsair for a while just willing myself to purchase. It is very expensive tho, is it worth it or is this just as good?

I like the look of this a lot as it is similar to the Corsair and with the additional windowed side panel, comes in 1/3 of the price.

Have you had a look at the Bitfenix Shinobi?
Personally my fav budget case.

Also the Corsair 300R looks alright imo.

Go for the better, bigger Shinobi XL

I like the bitfenix but I want an all black case. Also I would like a windowed panel but the 300R has the big fan holes which I am not a fan (excuse the pun) of. Just being a bit picky really

You can get the Shinobi in full black as well.

If I was going to spend £100+ I would just get the 650D. Trying to find one for about £50-£60.

Have you had a look at the Fractal Arc series?
Unfortunately OCUK doesn't sell them but have a quick google search

Ugh. I forgot, you want a window....

R-evans · 17 Dec 2012 at 22:04

I do like the Fractal Arc and I found this http://www.fractal-design.com/?view=product&prod=109

The bitfenix window is blue, I want clear

Not sure if trolling....

Mate it's clear. That's just a blue light. If it comes with the case, I'm sure you can turn it off anyways.

R-evans · 17 Dec 2012 at 22:14

No sorry, my mistake. It looked like the window was all blue.

Sorry I was just being a bit of a jerk.
I just looked at the image and I see why you thought it was blue.
Don't worry it's clear. Bitfenix doesn't manufacture coloured side panels for the Shinobi
