Whats the second best case for an air cooled pc?

I've been tempted by all metal cases recently, and though I can accept the 62's plastic face, I'd prefer metal...and it must be black!

G70... anodised.

A budget would be helpful.

Just looked, too expensive! I might just watercool my YY-0221, seeing as though it's what the uber cool YYY-0221 owners do with them

Antec Solo seems all good here.

Core Duo 2 6300 temps running at 39. only got 1 case fan atm. nice and silent plus running cool.

My case from COMPETITOR, READ THE FAQ.

30 squids, and dropped my temp 10 degree's

You say a competitor name but not the case name? :/

Sorry dude, the case is...

ICute Modding ATX PC Case @ £29.98

Heres mine with what it came with (Blue fans)

All I wanted was a well cooled case, with a few coloured fans and side window

Here it is now, since I put my green cathodes in...

I've had an Antec P180 for about 3 weeks and it's absolutely superb.

You can't put a price on excellence.

I didn't realise that was your case in the pics. Thats a nice looking case, even more so considering it only cost 30 quid.

Thanks

Yeah thats it!
I just needed a change of case, because my old one was a HP one which was so small and was very hot inside.

Glad you think its a nice case

Is that a 120mm fan at the front, if it is it must give you nice airflow through the case.

benjo · 9 Sep 2006 at 00:44

For £30~ the only case you should be looking at is the Lanboy. Much nicer case
