Hi guys,

Im looking for a new case but Im at a miss because Ive always bought generic pish. Actually, this one right now is the best Ive ever had and that's a £25 Asus lump, pretty naff :)

So what do I buy? I'll tell you whats going in it:

ATX Mobo with XP120 cooler and 120mm fan
2 x 120mm fans (front and rear)
2 x CD drives
3 x HD's
1 x FD
1900xt (maybe 2 soon though)
Sound card
TV card

The components shall be air cooled but I wouldn't mind having the option of water cooling now. It needs to be black/silver/both. Im using the DFI Expert and having the 24pin and 8 pin PSU cables its a little cramped in there. The size of the case doesnt matter too much, it can be midi if it is spacious within or full high tower. As for budget, nothing TOO expensive, i.e. I dont really need the cutting edge bee's knees daddy of all so I can brag and wave my e-penis, ta :)

What you think?

That's a rather nice case at a rather nice budget! Is there plenty of room there for water later? I was looking at some of the big chieftec's too. Tell me what are the blue LED fans? They look much brighter than my silenx!

Edit: 1000 posts :( oh dear Im a geek
 
Well I could be silly and buy the most expensive if need be but Im going to put a price at £100 max just to be sensible :)

I've looked at the Eclipse many times and nearly bought it, thing is the pic on OCUK doesnt look too tempting yet Ive seen other people's pics and it looks better. It looks like its that matt black finish that just absorbs greasy finger prints though? Maybe Im just being too picky here :D
 
I ended up getting a Thermaltake Soprano. Its new and unused but my mate didn't want it so I buoght it for a fair price. A quick browse and it looks ok, I quite like the easy installation clips, just hope its any good now :cool:


EDIT: Comes with the window and side fan too (BWS)
