Looking to get a new case well rather a whole new PC setup - think a medium spec gaming rig. The PC will be going on a desk in the lounge so it needs to "fit" in aesthetically and also not be noisy. I have had a good look around and I am unsure whether I would be better with something like the Fractal R3 or the SG07. Is there a noticeable volume difference between the 2 does anyone know and also is the cooling potential reasonably good in both of them? I am not the most dexterous of chaps these days so also was wondering whether the smaller case would be a bit difficult to work with and I would be better with the R3 which although a lot larger is not in your face and looks quite restrained so would also fulfil my criteria.

I will most likely go 2500k + 4 GB Ram + GTX 460 + SSD Boot drive + 1 Storage HD as a rough guide to what will be in the case.

Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
I reckon the new Fractal Mini would be a lovely mid-point between the two for you.

Smaller than the R2/3 so should fit in a little better, but has better expandability than the SG07 (which is a lovely case), and is still easy to work in (always found cube cases a bit cramped personally).

Perfect - thank you didn't know of that one and looks to be exactly what I need! Cheers.
