Desktop PC Case

Afternoon All

I think im going to end up building myself a new linux machine, i have the some spare parts laying around, but not much room to put anything! I thought about building a nice small Desktop cased PC.

Did a bit of searching and there are so many, some cheap and some no so cheap!

Can anyone recommend me a case, thats got good room for the Desktop case, must be able to handle a P4P800 ATX and P2 2.6, 1 or 2 HDD would be great, with space for Card Reader and CDRW...

If i can keep the cost to around £50, that would be great, but depending on the case i can go over that.

Cheers for that, i did see the Silverstone ones, but its twice what i want to pay, the ones i saw in my budget looked tacky

Ive already got the ATX motherboard, so dont want to change that really.

Let me hold the bacon butty for ya, and you go look

Like the look of that one, just reading a couple of reviews!

Edit:

Found a review or two, and some PICS. Looks nice, seems there is plenty of space for what i need, also the PSU is mounted at the side of the Mobo, so good air flow and room over the top....

It seems its a Propiatry PSU thats in it, slightly different than the normal ATX, that could be the only sticking point. Does look nice, its only a 300w PSu, i dont think that would be a problem, but ive always liked 400 or above...

It wont have anything flash it it, nor will it be running nasa... i guess it would cope.

lol, im glad i gave you the oppourtunity

Well im just waiting for an auction to end, hopefully if i get £60 for that i'll get this, should be just what im after!

Thanks for all your help

Sure, 5 mins to go on the auction

Theres one for sale actually on ebay, but its £85 all in, used as well! Can get them less for new. Plus its silver, i think i prefer the black one tbh.

Silly people!

I didnt get enough, it only went for £50.....

Still wanting to get this case, but for now ive just bought a cheaper case for this one. Ive got another one to build next month, so im going to try and flog something else so i can get another £30

Am going to try and get it, thats' for sure!!
