I am looking to buy a case that will fit a Micro ATX with a long graphics card within a budget of anything up to about £50

Preferably I'd like something minimalist that isn't covered in LEDs and flashing lights etc. Having said that I am willing to sacrifice looks for something that is efficient in terms of cable management and cooling.

Cheers

For a good gaming mATX case you're probably looking at around £70. The Aerocool Dead Silence, Xigmatek Aquila, and Bitfenix Prodigy M and Phenom M are all around that mark. All four can fit long GPUs, although for the Bitfenix cases you need a PSU shorter than 160mm. The first two would be better for cable management and cooling.

Thanks, those might be a bit over my price target though.

Any suggestions for larger cases that would support a mATX board?

The only one I've looked at so far is the Antec Three Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case

Something within that price range would suit me better.

Thanks again for the response

Strangely I did just come across this very case whilst browsing today and thought it looked interesting.

Would you happen to know whether it has room for a long GPU, 11 inches or so?

I have a 290 Tri-X in mine and it fits with plenty of room left over. It's an awesome little case
