Discreet case for under £35

Astraeus · 26 Jul 2009 at 18:30

I need a new case for a new-build PC and the only real requirement is that it's discreet and not illuminated with LEDs. A lot of my computer use is watching films/TV at night and I don't like having the flashing/constant blue lights illuminated on the machine.

Besides that, one with good inherent cooling or soundproofing qualities would be appreciated and it definitely needs to be something that looks attractive - a clean front etc.

Any thoughts?

Coolermaster CM335 or 334, I believe the fans are blue LED but you can just snip the wires leading to the LEDs or replace the fans, 2 minute job.

Antec 300 - Same as above, costs about £45 though.

Silverstone SST-PS02B - £40

Sunbeam 3D Storm - £33

At this kind of price there isn't a huge amount available unfortunately.

This one looks like a good one, http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-160-CM

And another family member as second choice, http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-155-CM

The reviews are good too

for either case...

Up your budget to 45 if possible and get the Antec 300, its a brilliant case for the money.

+1 Antec 300.

I have had the 300 for a while now and it is much better than anything else in the same price range.

I would have to agree with the antec 300 if your budget could stretch.
