i like the look and style of these cases and good cable management,Anything better?

Quite like the Lancool personally. I know the CM690 Dominator fits in the titan fenrir but theres not much clearance with the side panel.

I'd either go for the Lancool: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-008-LN&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=1447

or the CM Dominator Advanced II: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-196-CM&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=29

Both great cases, nice build quality and sweet cable management, making for a nice looking rig

Just swaped my rig into the dominator, nice case but i can imagine it being a tight fit if cards get any bigger.

Good thing about the dominator, is the bottom 4 hard drive bays can be removed completely, leaving plenty of room for longer cards, only if you're mounting them in the lower PCI-E slots on an ATX board ofc ;p

+1 for the dominator

Porcelina · 18 Oct 2010 at 22:49

The Dominator is a sweet case indeed and it felt like getting quite a lot of luxury for the price when I got it.

Then again, I have mostly been around really cheap cases and I am sure that most of the popular ones on OcUK in the price range would be a fantastic buy.

Dominator looks like a really nice case for the money, I would go for that.

chaotic_uk · 19 Oct 2010 at 01:35

just make sure if you have a tall cpu cooler that the fan on the side of the case does not hit it , i had to remove the side panel fan as it hit my akasa viper cooler (cm690 version 1)

Lancool i'd go with also.

geoirv23 · 22 Oct 2010 at 02:15

Got to be the dominator for that price.

Lancool, built two recent machines into these cases and they are just awesome
Very well built, awesome cable management, and they look brilliant.

another £8 for a Fractal?

Gundog48 · 22 Oct 2010 at 20:23

I have a In Win Ironclad on the MM for about that price. As long as the style suits you, the quality is better than any case I've had- it's as solid as a rock. The style doesn't suit a lot of people, but it looks better in real life than in pictures. Other than that, a Lancool will not let you down!

manic111 · 22 Oct 2010 at 20:34

I'm with MustyPie, the Lancool is a fantastic case - makes everything easy, a good size, good thermals, excellent cable management.

raikesi · 22 Oct 2010 at 22:08

just throwing another idea out there... but wat about a cm stacker 831. full tower so loads of room all alu and removable mobo tray all for 82.99

jaket · 23 Oct 2010 at 13:39

Another recommendation for CM690!

I like the look of the Lancool and it's a really nice case
