Hey all,

As above please recommend me a casing for my setup. I currently have a http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-110-AN&tool=3 which is damaged, I'd like something around this price or something with even better airflow to house:

Motherboard: Gigabyte EX58A-UD3R Intel X58 (Socket 1366) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard
Motherboard Chipset: ICH10R Chipset
CPU: Intel Core i7 950 3.06GHz @ 4.00GHz DDR3 System
Memory: 6GB of Triple Channel memory
PSU: Corsair TX 650W ATX2.2 SLI Compliant PSU
Graphics: Gigabyte ATi Radeon HD 7950 Windforce 3X 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express

Not overly tech minded so unsure if you needed all that info but.. yeah

Thanks in advance! :cool:

As an add: I will also consider rebuying the same case if a better option isn't available for the price!

A Define R4, Carbide 500R or Antec P280.

Thanks, will check those out!

Any more suggestions? Also should mention a case not so heavy as I sometimes have to move it between home/uni.

Thought about a m-atx case (Silverstone Temjin TJ08B-E, Lian Li PC-A04B)? Or even a m-itx (Bitfenix Prodigy)?

Lian Li's are pretty light, all aluminium. Had a Giant PC-A71B that weighted a lot less than you'd expected.

EDIT : Sorry, didn't read you need an atx case <facepalm>

Also Silverstone Raven RV03, Corsair Obsidian 550D.

The size of your motherboard.

Ah, great. Thought there mightve been a clue to the size in one of the components names. Thanks for all the recommendations all.
