Seen this case going for under £50.

Going to build an Intel Core i5 2500 system with an ATI 6850 graphics card, not going to overclock as I don't need too.

There seem to be a lot of features in the Antec 302 case for that price, plus it accepts the longest graphics cards. Would anyone recommend this? Any 302 owners care to share their experiences of it?

Thanks.
 
There are much, much better cases for around £50.

Bitfenix Shinobi.
NZXT Source 220

For £60-70 the market opens up even more IMO.

NZXT Tempest 410 Elite
Xigmatek Midgard II
Bitfenix Raider
CoolerMaster CM-690 II
Corsair Carbide 300R

I don't know which I'd go for personally, probably the 300R or the Tempest 410 Elite.
 
The 300R is better than shinobi and source, unless you care about the looks, there is 10000000 times better cable management in the Antec, save up £10 and get a carbide 300R
 
Shinobi and Source 220 both look like they have restrictive airflow, and they both adopt the old style HDD bays facing front to back rather than side to side - this would annoy the hell outta me as it makes cables look messy!

300R would probably be good as well as the 690 II, but if you wanna stay around the £50 mark look at the Zalman Z9+ can't beat that case for the money (£45 last time I checked).
