Hey guys I was wondering if you guys could suggest me good cases, right now my choice is corsair 650d but that is basically the only one i know about. The info on my build specs are here http://************.com/uk/p/9VZz . I want either a mid or full tower no smaller and Budget is £150 for the case.
 
The 650D is outstanding I would recommend it. I had one before my 800D. I think the design and build quality are top notch and the cable management is great.

NZXT, CM etc also have some top cases in the £150 mark, I just prefer the solid clean look of the Corsair cases. I had no issues with my 650D at all. I got the 800D just because I wanted a bit more room in my case and a lot less in my house.
 
I know what you mean about the 800D i also want a case to take up room lol, my room is too big. I think i want a full tower but the 800D is out of my budget. I like the 650D and all and am prepared to pay for it but i just think it looks plain after looking at some other cases lately, I want to add LED inside the case i buy too.
 
They are very plain looking. That's why I like them. I don't like gimmicks or plastic on my cases but thats just my taste.

Have you seen this one - NZXT Switch 810 - This looks like a good case and large format. Available in 3 colours too.
Have a dig around on reviews though. I have seen a few here going for them.

Then there's always the storm trooper. Not my cup of tea but well rated and has great features (white version is coming soon I think).

I would just find the one you like the look of and do a few review searches. So many cases are very similar with cable management features etc. If your spending £150 you can't really get a poor product (within reason)
 
I understand what you mean with the CM, a bit too much. I like the NZXT Switch 810 Full Tower Case Black, would you say the Corsair 650D is better fact wise?
Also does it matter where i install my radiator as i am getting a corsair H100 cpu cooler and it has a 200mm radiator and the corsair 650D has space for it at the top while the other case has it on the bottom.
 
You can get the rad on the top of the switch 810 it has space for a 360mm triple rad up there.

650d is a tank and probably a bit more robust but the nzxt 810 has similar features and is getting good reviews. If you literally google switch 810 reviews there are some of the usual suspects oc3d etc giving it some thumbs up.
 
Switch 810 is good if you don't kind overly plasticy type cases, storm trooper is also very good if you not mind the styling, can't ever really go wrong with a Corsair case.

I just ordered 2 new cases, a corsair 500r for a family members 3570k build with a bequiet dark rock pro2 cooler and a cm storm trooper for myself with an antec kuhler 920 which I plan on swapping for the corsair h100 soon possibly.
 
just went from a full tower (Cosmos) to the 650D and have no regrets....as long you don't want to install a crazy amount Drives. Also a much better case to "tinker" with in my opinion. Cable management is nice, the front USB3 cable connection solution is not so well thought through, but you can work around it.
 
OMG thats the thing which dissapointed me about the trooper but now there is one i really want to buy it. Thank you sooo much for that!
