Best midi case for £100 or less

[fastwunz]

Guys my old antec case won't close as the cooler on my CPU is too tall. Not to mention its a total squeeze getting my 5850 in there! Something that will fit an SSD plus HDD too please

So, hit me with some options please!

Fractal Arc Midi 2?

Fractal Define R4 is good too

I like Fractal and Corsair cases for their clean lines and understated appearance personally.

The BitFenix Ronin is a very nice looking case. Thinking of getting one for myself.

I'd get a case with bigger fans in the front 120mm intakes are pretty outdated, anything with 140mm+ for intakes.

Yet you recommend two cases with 120mm fans for intake

no the raven 3 has 2x 180mm intakes you can mount 140mm on the corsair 550d I presumed the 550d came with 140mm if not my bad but stock fans are normally rubbish anyway apart from the silverstones

If the ronin has 140mm mounts then it seems like a decent buy but for me 120mm fans just don't push enough air unless you run high rpm noisy ones, they are okay for exhausts though.

I really like the Corsair Carbide AIR 540 design too, bit of a ripoff of a raven 3 but still very nice i'd like one.

Fair enough I overlooked the intake via the base.
