I have absolutely no idea... what or which...

Can anyone help me? I'm trying to keep costs low for a build that is for basic use, so not much is required of the case itself, just needs to fit ordinary things like the disc drive and an entry level graphics card.

Just needs to be sleek and black. What can I hope for?

Thanks guys :)
 
What motherboard size?

I am looking at the SST-GD05B Grandia Silverstone case. It has a 2 or 3 x 120 mm fans for cooling and takes standard optical drives and HDD.

It doesn't come with a PSU and is Micro-atx, which isn't a problem for me as I already have a PSU.

Can be had for £60.99, I don't know if you consider than within you budget.
 
Yeah, motherboard size will dictate the case. These are a selection of SFF "gaming cases".

microATX - Silverstone Sugo SG01, 02, 03, 04, Lian Li V350, V351, Antec Mini P180.
miniITX - Silverstone Sugo SG05, 06.

Of course, if you only want it for HTPC use, that opens even more possibilities.

So how "entry level" are you planning on making your graphics card?

I assume he will be using onboard for HTPC use.

We need more info :(
 
What other requirements? There's a nice CIT S001 case mATX, SFF, good space for expansion cards too. Picked up new at £33 if memory serves
