Cheapest Case - 2 GPU's

Psycho Sonny · 24 Sep 2017 at 10:02

Have a very tight budget.

Mid Tower or Full Size Case
Must be able to accomodate 2 GPU's
No need for optical drives
Must have very good cooling (lot's of fans/tunneling)

Cheaper the better I'm currently looking at a coolermaster masterbox lite 5 for under £50. is there anything cheaper that is just as good or better or can I get a much better case for say £5 more (Phanteks Eclipse P300)?

I'd be happy spending £30-£45 but will go slightly higher if it means much better cooling

I think the P300 is better value with its glass side, also you can put a 140mm fan on the top..

oh just seen this on weekly deal, great case loads of fans mounts

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Fractal Design Define R4 Midi Tower Case - Black= £59.99

Total: £71.69
(includes shipping: £11.70)

Why would you recommend the old model when the R5 has been out for over a year now? If you need a cheap case then the Bitfenix Nova looks decent for around £30.

because its on offer, the R5 is way out of his budget.. The nova only has one fan and its a molex.. when the op asked for "Must have very good cooling (lot's of fans/tunnelling)" plus you have an R4 too so it must be good

Yeah the R4 is decent but lacks fan filters on the top fan mounts, no PSU shroud and is feeling dated compared to more modern cases. Anyway with the Nova you could spend £30 on it with nice case fans which would be so much better than the stock R4 fans, Nova will take 3x120mm enough for a crossfire setup imo (Barely).
