So, I'm in love with this case and am building my computer in October. And this case is not in sale at the minute (Sure it might be *Hopes* in the coming few weeks) but just in case I can't stretch the budget for this case, is there a cheaper alternative for the Coolmaster Storm Scout?

Things I REALLY like about it:

Black Interior *HUGE Plus for me!*
Lots of Fan Space
Easy-To-Access front ports
Bottom mounted power supply
Heat Sink Mount hole in Motherboard Tray

Any suggestions?

Well theres a few for sure:

Firstly the Akasa Freedom Xone:

I've built 3 PC's using this case and it's value for money all round and contender for best budget case.

Secondly I'd have a look at the CM-690 II Lite, I've never used it but have used the non lite version and thought it was superb.

Lastly have a gander at the Xigmatek Utgard:

Well. The Storm Scout is in budget (ABOUT £700-£800 I would imagine, cheaper is better but I want something decent)

It would be nice to have a case like the Storm Scout but not for the price tag, so the money can go on other components.

Hey. Thanks for the offer but I've just forwarded my mum about the case (She's buying the case as a birthday pressy) and think she has already ordered the storm scout. Not sure though, what case are you selling?

Just thought I'd update you guys. I changed my mind (Being put off by the side panel, I'm not a fan of flimsy plastic side panels, and the fact you can see inside the case) I chose the Coolermaster CM-690 II
