case for ~£70

I'm on the point of ordering bits for my new system, but can't decide on a case!

I like the look of the NZXT Lexa Classic Series Ultra light Aluminum Midtower, but its a bit pricey.

I want an aluminium case, which is fairly roomy and quiet.

any suggestions?

thanks!

that case looks so plain though!

I appreciate the input and the photo's, but I plain just don't like that case!

Anyone any experience of the ZXT Lexa Classic Series Ultra light Aluminum Midtower?

THG did a piece on it, and quite liked it if I remember. Cases are all down to personal taste after all

(Is it ok to link THG?)

Ive got a NZXT Lexa, and it is very good. With 3 120mm fans, and 1 80mm exhaust, and with room for another 80mm its really good at cooling. It looks sylish and its generally very good. If you want some pics just ask and i will post them on my webby soon. I am currently writing a review for the case for my webby aswell, so i will post when its up. But if you cant wait, then its a very good case, and it comes with a carry strap for LANS.

Some pics would be good!

A few people have mentioned flimsy build quality - this worries me a bit!

just added them to the server, so ill make a download html page. wont be more than 5 mins
NEW : www.itreview.org.uk/ocuk_downloads.html
Lexa has 2x120mm intakes, 120mm rear exhaust, 1x80mm top exhaust, and room for another 80mm. as my explantion earlier wasent very clear

Cheers for that, but I'll have to wait till I get home to look at those.

Does the case have a mobo tray? Cases that don't are really awkward!
