I remember going back to my first build that I chose a GlobalWin802 case because of the nice slideout mobo tray feature.

Do any of the cases in the OCUk range today have this feature. its really handy for me because my hands are like frying pans they weren't made for fiddling around in tight cases :(

I find it quite awkward building inside the case which is why the slide out tray makes it easy for me as its more open and gives my saute pan hands room to move around :)

I am looking for a midi sized tower as desktop real esate is short in my little office and a full tower is going take up way to much space vertically

the cases that are taking me eye so far are the Antec DF30/35, coolermaster cm690 and the Lancool Dragon-Lord PC-K62. The lancool is deffinately my favourite atm.

Do any of the ones I have cited have the slide out tray or am I going to have to take a machete to my hands to trim them down a bit !! :(
 
thanks for the replies, after a bit more research I think I am just going to forgo the idea of the tray now as I really like the CM690 and the K62. Just need to make my mind up which one I like more :)

I have used a CM690MKII lite and its a very nice case indeed for 60 bucks, but the Lancool K62 still is always at the back of my mind as i think its great.

whats the differences between the lite version and the normal / advanced version ? do they still have the same space inside or is the lite version slightly more snug / less drive bays ?

From the pictures its really hard to see any differences
 
They are both exactly the same case structurally. The Advanced has a GPU air duct for better air flow, all four 5.25" bays are tool-less, not just two, and it comes supplied with a 3.5" to 2.5" bay adapter. It also comes with an extra 140mm fan in the top, IIRC.
