I've got an Antec P180 case at the moment (bought it 6 years ago!) that houses the following rig:
AMD Phenom II X4 970 BE, Asus M4A87TD EVO Mobo, ATI Radeon HD 4870 GFX Card, 8GB RAM, 2 x Optical Drives, 1 x SSD, 4 x HDD's, Corsair TX 650W PSU
Now whilst the case was pretty decent in it's day, I feel that day has long gone now and want to get a new case with the following features:
-Decent cable management (this is a must, I have a complete spaghetti of cables in my case atm!)
-Quiet (good sound insulation) - my GFX card fan is very noisy and the Antec P180 does a good job of deadening the sound!
-Good air cooling (preferably 1 x Intake Fan and 2 x Extract Fans)
-Room for at least 2 x Optical drives and 6 x HDD's
-Good build quality
-Subtle design - I don't want some Alienware style case with 100 flashing LED's!!!
-Side window not required as this side of the case will be up against the wall, but I don't mind if it does have one
-Roomy enough for the latest GFX cards if I choose to upgrade, but no bigger than my Antec P180 or it won't fit on my desk!
Any suggestions? I'm looking to spend £100'ish but can stretch to £150'ish!
Thanks all.
