Best case for about £150?

bloodline76 · 13 Jan 2008 at 23:00

I am looking for a huge case for around £150, what is the best that I can get?

I want plenty of room for good air flow and more bits later

THanks

jak731 · 13 Jan 2008 at 23:13

again a bit over budget but how about the lian li v2000

Lian Li V2000 / V2100 (my favourite)
Lian Li G70 (might struggle to find them as they are no longer being made).
Lian Li A70

If i had £150 to buy a case I'd pay £4 over budget and get a Silverstone TJ09S £154 which comes with a side window panel for that price.

Most definitely! Well, almost (They definitely look better in black). I can't praise mine highly enough.

Yeah I was impatient so got a coolermaster stacker before anyone had the chance to reply lol

Its not as user friendly as I thought it would be though. Took me ages to get an extra HDD into the bay slot. Most of it is put together, just got to find out where the front and rear sound cables go now.

Definately 8800 user friendly tho, my last case Coolermaster wavemaster struggled to squeeze in my 8800. But this has plenty of room.

But it's fugly. The old one wasn't great and they made it worse... plus he already bought a case.

C64 · 19 Jan 2008 at 04:14

If you dont get my recommendation for £154 then all hope is lost.

Well then I guess all hope is lost.. he just said that he bought a Stacker :confused:

C64 · 19 Jan 2008 at 05:42

Yea how could anyone favour that thing over a silverstone tj09 each to their own i guess.
He could still return it under the DSR and get the silverstone though.

HighlandeR · 19 Jan 2008 at 14:26

That Silverstone TJ09S does look lovely...

time to find some reviews lol

C64 · 20 Jan 2008 at 06:54

Yea the price on these is slowly dropping at last the black ones £150 ish now too.

Nice looking case that.
I been looking for something to replace my Lian Li PC60s as they are getting a tad on the small size for all the stuff I put in one.
I love my lians, but the way they are sticking sata and IDE ports on the edges of motherboards is making life awkward.
I love the cage at the bottom for hard drives on the lians, but it's now getting in the way.

Rodeny did a video review of this case here.

It's big at.....
8.3 wide by 20.7 high 23.8 deep inches
21 x 52.5H x 60.5 deep CMs

Ho hum...I see a potential problem with the silverstone....width is 21CMs same as my Lian Li PC60.
You can't get big coolers in the Lian as they are too high. I'm guessing the silverstone might have the same problem.
