Best case for under £40?

[ninjabib]

Hi

Need a new case as mines had it frankly.

Have £40 to spend, midi sized is fine. Was looking at the coolermaster 33x ranges but hard to tell if theres much difference. Which one would you recommend and also which 120mmfan for the front fan as descrption says they are not included.

Any of the other cases any good sub £40?

Thanks

i wouls say antec 300 there about 40 now and they seem pretty decent from some of the threads ive read.

for that price range you cant go wrong with an antec 300 and a few Xilence red wings
both cheap and cheerful

red wings are out of stock in ocuk

its also excellent for modding apparently if you felt you wanted to watercool in the future

As above, I would definitely recommend the Antec 300 case.

The build quality is great for the price, and it comes complete with 140mm top fan and one 120mm front intake fan...it also comes with a front panel dust filter.

Antecs customer support is pretty good too! My 140mm fan failed recently and although it took a little while to get a response from them I received a replacement this morning along with a couple of other case parts, for free.

And as James Manns has mentioned, it also also has plenty of modding potential.

(you'll get free shipping from OcUK too )

Well I can easily suggest the Casecom 6788. Sadly Overclockers doesn't stock it, which is a shame because its essentially a 25 quid case with good cooling, bottom loading psu, black internals and ready for a WC upgrade.

yer I found the Casecom 6788 and I agree it's a shame that OcUK don't stock it either for the guys on a tight budget.

Quick heads up please on how you found it for ease of build and cable management?

The asgard is actually an Elite 335 with a slightly different panel - nothing like a 900.

you need to meet the requirements first, 250 posts and a forum member for 90 days.

Does no one rate the Coolermaster 334? It seems like a decent, understated case for £28.

I went for the Coolermaster 335 in the end, really happy with it.
