Going round and round in circles over a case.

I like the 800D but I think for a none watercooling rig its abit expensive, would like to keep the price around £100. I would like something with lots of space has good cable management and looks smart and tidy rather than "proGamer". It will need to fit in SLI 5870's also.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Moleh
 
The new fractal design cases seem to meet your needs are bang on the price. Think they just got some new stock in at ocuk so you should be good to go. Not too sure if it will house two 5870s though but hopefully someone else will :D

Pretty neat looking and a big case for the price.

This case is a bit old so not as customisable I hear but it's big and cheap

And this one

I am not sure how they would fit the cards but they're some of the bigger cases around your budget that I can see.
 
Every single one of those is foul. Not sure why case manufacturers have this obsession with over-designed fields of plastic molding, they all look so tacky.

Simplistic is where it's at, but typically you pay more for the privilege, especially if you don't want it to be internally constructed of cheap steel and brittle plastics.

Given that a case will easily outlive the machine that is in it (I had my last case for over 8 years), I'd personally spend as much as necessary on whatever case takes my fancy, and not try and stick within the constrains of a budget.
