Best cheap case

xNytramx · 12 Jan 2011 at 12:45

Im not an OCing fanatic but might up my new 2500 a little bit. Currently using a 5year old case that has one large side fan and on rear fan. Will be getting a akasa CPU cooler which is rated very highly. just wanted to know if its worth me getting a slightly up to date case for some better air flow. I know the HafX is the winner but I can only spend probably about 40quid. Not sure if theres any decent cases for that

getting the i5 2500K with the asus P8P67 board, the Akasa Venom CPU cooler and a XFX 6950

Just seen the Coolmaster with the side window at around 40, maybe thats a decent choice? has plenty of places for fans.
Cheers all

I recommend an Antec 300, its a little bit more but a brilliant case with excellent cooling etc

I'm about to start a new build with similar specs, I'm gonna go with the Antec 300 myself. My brother has one, and it's a great case for the price.
