£50 isnt much, since you probably wont get good air flow etc
but i did find this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-008-NX&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=35
it is GTX compatible, couldnt really find much for the £50, ill keep looking though

Thermaltake M9 isn't bad either.

Have an Antec 300. Best budget case imo

Kennysevenfold · 3 Feb 2009 at 17:45

For another £3 get the Antec 300, cant go wrong tbh

Pilky01 · 3 Feb 2009 at 17:46

Antec 300 hands down.

Tonyator · 3 Feb 2009 at 17:50

Ditto on the Antec 300, Had it a while and it's great, I highly recommend for a budget case.

Antec 300 would be a great choice, but for 7-9 pounds extra I'd go for the lian-li PC7+. Fabulous case for money

got to factor in the cost of the intake fans for the antec 300 though

hmm yea, but tbh its still a better case than the other mentioned ones even without the optional fans installed.

could just be a future upgrade to have in mind

i can get a antec 300 for about £46 and i will put in some 120mm fans
are most extra value fans very loud

Well its hard to say, best thing to do is to get some yate loons, or if you can afford them sharkoons.

Just get a 300, much better build quality, and you can always buy those extram fans later on down the line if you want, you dont NEED to have them, its adequate cooling at stock mate
