budget cases

[Tetsu]

looking at budget cases. any thoughts?

we are talking 35£ here.

akasa zen, antec 300? any others worth a mention?

Antec get good reviews, but 300 might be a bit small to keep modern hardware cool. I'd save a little and go for a more mid range case; antec 900 maybe.

 

[Tetsu]

no its for a £300 photo shop rig. all low power, low spec, low heat.

Akasa Zen.

Nice little case, and looks smart too. Unlike the pig ugly 300.

Ehh, really one of first people to say they dislike the 300, personally the 300 looks better but the Akasa is also alright abit cheap platicy but then again your looking at the screen 99% of the time.

Is £35 the absolute maximum? The Lancool K7 comes in at a tenner dearer, but is excellent value for the money.

antec 300 is the way to go for that price..

Yeah i'm afraid so, I know its only a tenner but there's loads of parts of this build that would benefit from an extra tenner here and there then a £300 build turns into a £400 build.

actually total cost with the akasa is £292 with shipping.

Yeah, I hear you on that front. You're wise to specify a budget and stick to it.

Anymore money spent wont be appreciated by my mother tbh, I doubt she could tell the difference between a £30 case and a £100 case.


Wish i was the same
