Case Required

Mr G · 20 Oct 2019 at 17:28

Looking for a quality ATX case for around £100 max... any recommendations?

Minibiker · 20 Oct 2019 at 17:36

These are 2 cases I'd consider for an ATX build

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Fractal Design Define C Tempered Glass Midi Tower Case - Glass Window= £96.95
1 x be quiet! Pure Base 500 Midi Tower Case - Black Tempered Glass= £79.99

Total: £190.14 (includes shipping: £13.20)

I've personally had Fractal cases before and have nothing but good words for them... They have good airflow, great space inside to work with and plenty of cable routes.. Overall great build quality aswell

As for the BeQuiet case, there have been many reviews on here and on YouTube and all saying how great and quiet the case is

not enough rgb @Minibiker

Recently missed out on the P600S for £99 quid, any ideas when these will be on sale again?

We all love some rgb especially with music sync

Might increase my budget, just eyeing up the Meshify S2?

I almost lost my eye sight?

Currently digging the Pure Base 500, reviews seem positive!

Mr G · 20 Oct 2019 at 21:30

I shall resist and proceed as normal, as nice as rgb is!

well semi-back onto topic, just out of interest what are the other components of the build? or are you "just" changing the case?
reason i ask is that £100 is a lot of money to spend on a case, unless you're already getting top end components

Just changing the case. I want something with good cable management, spacious and great build quality. Running a 2600 with a Vega 56.

phanteks p350x would get my vote (though i feel that it's a pointless waste of time and money - might as well wait until you do a full upgrade when you change the mobo as well)

I'm ready to pull the trigger to be honest, fancy an update.
