I don't understand why the white and black are a tenner more expensive , the 550d is nearly double the price of the R3

Another vote for 550D here mate Very good case, take a look at my reviews of it here:

The reason is simply because white is much more popular -- people are prepared to pay a little extra for it.

What is your budget? Also, are you looking for something similar in design to R3 - closed off, silent?

Thank you for the replys Mishima , it needs to be quiet and cool as its in a small warm room , I thought £70 wasn't to bad I can stretch to £100 at a push

No problem. Usually low noise comes at a cost of cooling since the panels are closed off and the fans spin slower. A compromise of the two should be a good way to go though... I'm presuming you like white cases, so how about the NZXT Phantom 410 - Its also on special offer @ OcUK right now in this colour: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-077-NX

Another vote for R3. Great case, great customer support. Perhaps wait for it to be back in stock.
