Hmmm, I'd either go for a modded V1000+ (a little over £100) or maybe invest in an army of LANboys.

Failing those two options - the Akasa Eclipse 62 would be my choice

Antec P160W perhaps? Might be a bit too "in your face" though.

P180 would be worth considering too.

Shall I be the first to say it? PC7+ Its way under budget, leaving you enough for a windowed sidepanel and decent fans.

Yeh, the PC7+ with window, very good fans (Dustproofs maybe) and a cathode will all come into budget, giving you on the case side at least a silent system.

It fits into budget very well, including fans the Eclipse will be just on the edge or over.

Just talked my wife into letting me buy the Silverstone TJ07 ( and im thinking of doing a punisher mod to it )

Yewen any idea when the Super lan boy will be out of stock - im ordering both this friday

thanks

im going with yewens choice on this one

 

[Unionjack]

who makes the pc7 & is it better than the silverstone TJ07 ?

 

[Messiah Khan]

Lian Li make the pc7, and yes its possibly better than the tj07 IMO. Pound for pound its one of the best cases you can get. The TJ07 is no doubt a great case, however it is very overpriced.

 

[Unionjack]

Ok i just need to know the PC7 has it loads of room for fans etc i was also looking at the thermaltake armour cases ..basically i want a case that will last me 3 - 4 years and will give me plenty of space..

the only reason i wanted the silverstone TJ07 it looks massive and very upgradeable .

again thankyou your input is very much appreciated

 

[Messiah Khan]

If you want big, then look at either the Lian Li v2000, LianLi pc-201 or the Coolmaster stacker 810. The first one can be found here at ocuk, the other two you will have to hunt for a bit. I have a v2000b and I love it. Its massive, very well built, looks great and has enough expandability for anything you can throw at it. Quite a few people have put water cooling in them, and im soon going to be sending mine off to have phase cooling built into the lower chamber.

 

[Yewen]

Size means very little, everything has to conform to the ATX spec, so bar brute force amount of drives it can hold offers very little more.

Something controversial here, with a normal system the PC7+, Akasa Eclipse, Akasa Zen, Thermaltake Soprano will all cool better than a TJ07, just to do with how much space in the case of the TJ07.

The PC7+ is the worse case out of the two, most certainly and you would expect it as the price of the TJ07 is 4x more!

Is the TJ07 4x better no, would I go as far as saying its 2x as good probably no again.

With the right system in it, the TJ07 is a nigh on unstoppable cooling machine, however especially with lower heat output parts its benefits most certainly do not equal the price.

If you like the TJ07 get it in a heart beat, you will not be dissapointed, if it offers value for money to the point of being worthy of recommendations, then that is a certain no.

Cheaper cases can do everything it can, but with a bit less style. £100 is worth it for the style, only if you like the style it offers.

 

[Unionjack]

Thankyou Yewen you have made my mind up = the Silverstone TJ07 it is .

in black i my add

thanks for all posters

 

[Unionjack]

update, ocuk dont do a windowed version of the silverstone tj07 so im back to square one - i need serious help my heads in bits

i want a big spacious case with a window that can take water cooling ( in the months to come maybe ) i have had a change of heart on my price limit and again im back to 100 pounds , top push maybe 130 .

ive had a look at the P7 and i cant find any reference to it having a window ..or im being stoopid and just cant find it ...

sorry to be a pain but i need your help - to be honest i cant beleive the missus will let me spend so much on a case so i dont want to get this wrong .

thanks in advance

Akasa Eclipse would fit the bill nicely.

As would a v1000+ and window, although would be pushing the budget a little.

who makes the the v1000 yewen ? and does it come with window as standard ?

 

[Yewen]

Lian Li, and no unfortunately it does not.

You could pick up a window at a later date.
