Hello, I'm after some help on choosing a case for a system my old man is still deciding on.
Essentially, it would fit into as many of these as possible:
It is within an £80 budjet (well, a little either side won't hurt).
It needs to be quiet- relative, I know, but it needs to go into a home office next to the living room.
I think due to the desk, a full tower might not fit, but we will see.
He is not bothered by how good the case looks, i.e. windows/lights.
Finally, room for a few disk drives, hard drives, and other expansions would be handy.
The system will be air cooled, and currently is shaping up as follows:
Q9450
4GB ram
P45/X38 motherboard
Graphics- not too sure, but anything from an 8600GT to a 4850.
650/700 watt PSU.
Just as an aside, the PC will be used for general internet/office use, alongside video editing/photoshop work, etc.
Any help would be much appreciated.
