Hello forum :),

Basically I need your help to find me a case, I have searched for a while now and its really bugging me as I've pretty much turned up empty, which makes me sad :(

I am looking for a nice case that can house my current components (in sig) and be fairly small and compact compared to my huuuge NZXT Phantom. It needs to fit my H100 which knocks quite a few out of contention and I'd like it to have pretty good airflow,

price range is sort of up to about £100, can't see why it would cost more than that or even at that point as this full tower cost me £100+

Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks,

Rb

Any of the corsairs (the 300R might not fit a H100, can't quite remember, but pretty sure the rest can)
Good solid cases as well.
CM690ii
I think the R3 would, but can't quite remember, nor can I remember about the R4, but both would be good options
Fractal Arc Midi is another good bet

Yeah I've seen that list, I do like the fractal design cases, I wish the Silverstone FT02 was cheaper or the Raven 2, Or if the RV-03 would fit the H100 somewhere else, As I need the 5.25 inch bay,

Arrrgh why is it so hard choosing a case! :p
 
Ok I just got tired of trying to find something small, It will have to fit somewhere I guess, I went with the Switch 810 as I got a good deal at around £120 with the Lamptron touch white fan controller as well.

Thanks for all the help though guys :)
 
If you can hold out and push for a Corsair 650D, they range from £120-£150 depending on where you get. ** No competitor naming and pricing ***
It really is a nice big, sleek and stylish case. I love it to the point this will last me 5 years, maybe more unless advances in technology requires me to get a new one. Or if I come into a bit of money, go for a full towered case with water cooling, etc.
 
A Midi tower at that price? No thanks.. Too small for me, As I said I picked up a Switch 810 which is a full tower for £120 and a fan controller, And It is amazing.
