best £70 case?

wupwup · 4 Jul 2009 at 10:00

im not bothered about looks, special features or anything fancy. it wont need to crossfire but it will have a big graphics card in. im only realy bothered about cooling. any ideas? cheaper would ne nice. thanks

coolermaster scout perhaps?

antec 900 is a pain to fit long cards in anyway.

or maybe the HAF923 not sure on its price right now through

i did have a look at the scout. looks verry nice. but how is the cooling? i would like an antec 900 but its too expensive. cheers

What about the antec 300?

wupwup · 4 Jul 2009 at 11:08

the antec 300 was the one i imediatly went to but was warned against as there are better cases in a close price range. unfortunatly i wasnt told wich they where. so i might get it anyway

Hi

Well the coolermaster cm690 is about £55 that can take 7 120's.It's a pretty good case.
Or
Lancool k7 that comes with 2 120's at the front and one at the rear.It's a nice simple looking case.Just finished a build with one.Will post some pics soon.

Coolmaster 690 gets my vote for that price range, spend the extra money on some delta fans

Frame352 · 4 Jul 2009 at 11:45

Yep, Lancool K7 here, and I'm very pleased with it.

Another one for the cm 690. Great case and good cooling and cable management for the price.

Very easy to mod also. Check out mine on the case gallery thread.

The only case i ever sent back to a firm was a nzxt hush.It went back because it was a cheap and nasty piece of cr*p.So my advice is avoid nzxt cases at all cost

the scout looks quite decent on cooling plus it has mesh panals
Front Cooling: 140mm intake fan (included)
- Top Cooling: 140mm exhaust fan (included)
- Rear Cooling: 120mm exhaust fan (included)
- Side Cooling: 2 x 120mm intake fan (optional)
