infornt of my PC
Once upon a time, i bought an antec 300.
now I can not fault the case, but it is getting a little cramped.
I have had to install 7 fans to move the air flow about properly to keep temps
at 45c idle and 65c load.

However Im thinking of a new build.
I have a corsair psu with a spaghetti of cables
Sata cables
a Big megahalems CPU cooler with 2 fans
and a gtx 480 which is 30 cm long.

What I would like is a case with all the benefits of the antec 300, i.e. lots of bays, looks pretty neat, lots of fan bays, not too expensive, with the benefits of more space, tool less, easy access and cable management

No idea on costs, but the less I spend on a case, the more £ I have to fuel my car.

Probably the best all rounder budget case at the moment not sure about whether it's non modular psu friendly though.
And I'm not sure that's a big upgrade from an antec 300 you are probably looking at the £100-£150 range to get a decent upgrade from the antec and retain the clean looks.
Budget would be helpful I'd say the next one up from that I would personally get is the corsair 650D but that is £140.

Probably the best bang for buck case in my opinion.


If you want high airflow go with any of the cooler master HAF series cases.

Cases are a matter of taste and opinion we all have our fav ones. I am in the market for a new case myself, and still not decided after 2 weeks of looking. Taking a weeks break before I decide tho as if i read another review I will be sick.
