What would you recomend thats better for less than £40

I'm looking at getting one of these for a project I'm working on as I like the price and the style, I know it's a little out of date now but unlike a lot of budget cases it's not to garish or in your face.

Is there anything else you lot think I should be looking at under £40 (really don't want to go any higher or I might as well just get a PC7+)
 
The Lanboy was on the list but it's a little bit flash, I'm not sure the misses would let it in the house!

I've come close to buying the origional Phong on so many occasions it just never quite seemed to fit the bill I always hoped the replacment would keep the excellent features and low price point just get a bit more of a refined look, Jeantech obviously didn't agree I can't understand why custom PC rate the Phong 2 so highly it's overpriced and pig ugly! Plus at £50 quid from that lovely place witht the purple shirts it's pushing itself into competition with some serious contenders!

Enough of my Anti Phong rant! Cheers for the advice!
 
I know exactly where you are coming with the second version, just priced itself out of the market, could have been great but sadly not. :(

Another one I'd considered, quite a similar look to the Sonata I already have, I was a bit concerned it may look like it's poor cousin if they were in the same room.

I should probably just bite the bullet my myself a PC7 and put the new project in the sonata but that would be to simple and taking the obvious path is never as much fun.
 
i had the centurion 5 (blue) until 6 days ago.
i've now got the pc-7+ and its good.
go for the lian-li it's worth it my friend.
the centurion is now going to be used for a test on linux.
i don't know why,but it's something to do when iam not playing games.
p.s. change the 120mm fans i,ve gone for sharkoon(great fan).
 
Finally convinced myself to sod the money and buy the PC7 to transfer my main rig into and now it's disapeared! typical!

think I'll give it a couple of days and see if they re-appear and if not I'll go back to the origional Centurion idea, the more I look at it the more I like it. Not sure why they put those silly bars on the front of the newer model ruins it if you ask me!
