budget gaming rig case

SP0KK0 · 21 Jun 2012 at 21:08

hey, i'm looking to make a gaming computer, but i'm undecided on which case to buy. The case must:

look cool
be user friendly, (i've never build a pc before)
be less than £60
fit ATX mobos

If anybody could recommend a case for me that would be great

The Bitfeenix Alpha/Beta cases are recommended by a lot of people on these forums

yeah, they do contain good features for the price, although i'd like the case to look slightly more like a gaming case, i was thinking something like the zalman z9 or he bitfenix shinobi

the z9 is a good case recommend by a lot of people. as is the shinobi. go for the one u like the most both are good cases

In that price-range and for the features I would go with Corsair 400R or Fractal Design Core 3000. Both are excellent cases, here are my reviews of em:

Corsair 300R
Fractal Design Core 3000

I'd tend to lean more towards the 300R as there are more possibilities for adding fans and cable management is slightly better too, I think you will find it easy to work with!

I have this case, it's wide, solid, spacious and tooless. I'd definitely recommend it for £60
