hi guys, its coming up to my b-day shortly, and im looking at getting a new case.

i currently have a phantom 410 in black&orange. (not my fav colour :( )

anyway, im looking for something that will take ATX mobo, plenty of cooling. and has a huge side windows, so everything is on view.

has to have good cable management :)

budget is upto £140

i was looking at the 750D, which is perfect, but just checking to see if there is anything just as good, or looks better for the same price or even better, cheaper! :)

so, what do you guys recommend ?

That is one nice case, do you know if the cable management is good ?, looking a the pics, is dosnt look like there's a lot of room.

i have a TX850 PSU, non modular :D, and there is 10,000,000 cables on it lol, and i only use half :(, so i need somewhere to stash them out of the way :D
 
i was looking at that too, it does look the part, i must say!, and you cant really get more room for stashing cables away more than the 540 lol.

the only thing that puts me off, is the size. with a atx board, and a 7950, 4 HDD's psu etc etc, dosnt look like there will be mush room for air flow.

plus ocuk dont have them in stock :(
 
i have plenty of fans :), appreciate the thought/idea though!.

there nothing special, but are quite, and produce good air so im not fussed.
 
the ronin looks like its got enough room for cables, and is cheaper.
i love the 750D because of the build quality and the size of the window. and space..!
i also like the 540 :D, because it would look better in my living room.

so now what do i do :(

do i build 3 pc's :D lol

gunna have to think on this one !

thanks guys for the help :D, its like choosing what car to get.. because once you decide there's no going back!
 
ok, thank you :), appreciate that, sort of like a personal review.

there's no questions that spring to mind at the moment, but ill have a think :)

thank you!
 
demon, thank you for the pictures, and review :)

i have narrowed my choice down between the ronin and the 750D

my options are leaning towards the ronin, because of the cover that hides the psu, hdds etc etc.
but on the other hand there is the 750D because of the build quality, and the space, and good air flow, and the option for good watercooling if i ever go that route (which i will be sometime)

my god this is hard :(

thanks guys, for all the help :)
 
:D, thats all good for you (and others), but i don't own a SSD :p. i cant justify the money for them to gain a few seconds on loading times :), but its everyone to there own!
 
ok, you guys have convinced me to go for the 750D :)

just one questions, the removable dust guard on top.. can that be changed for a metal version ?
the reason im asking is because i have a kitten!, and hes a little **** and loves to sharpen his claws on the vents/mesh on my phantom.. and i know for a fact that after 2 days there will be nothing left of that guard on the top of the 750D lol

so.. can it be changed ?.. if not, think i might have to make a clear version from perspex :(

thanks guys for all the help :)
 
is it ?, i thought it was like a net ?.. like tights sort of material.

well if its metal, i guess it should be ok.

still might make a perspex replacement though just to be on the safe side! lol

cheers too tall
