Looking for a case

Sinny · 14 Apr 2007 at 19:25

Hi, im looking for a new pc case as im building a computer, theirs a few things i want in a case, good cooling and a good amount of space to work in.

i am buying an Asus P5N-E Motherboard but that is only 75% certain as i may change my mind, reason i want large space is because i might fit watercooling into it a few months down the line, but untill then im sticking at stock speeds and stock fans.

i have a limit of about £90 to spend on a case so i know i can get a pretty good case for that price, i am looking at getting the Antec Nine Hundred but the power supply at the bottom of the case worries me when i get watercooling.

i have a £90 limit, i know the case is only £3 over budget but that doesnt include postage and packaging, the case itself looks ok but to be honest the price is just tad over.

any more suggestions?

Maybe Stinka will give you the extra tenner needed

Plus decent fans brings it well over budget...

yer it comes with no fans so its about 25 over budget
how about a lian li pc-a05

Pick a case with 120 mm fan at front and rear , you cant really go too wrong, me likes the antec nine hundred look personally :cool:

Its very cramped and horrible to work in IMO.

wellibob · 15 Apr 2007 at 19:18

I said i liked the look of the antec nine hundred

i cant fault my 900.
sorted my case temps out a treat, just a bit more care needed routing cables but didnt take that much longer.

The Eclipse is a better case but goes too far overbudget when you add fans. The PC-7 is an amazing buy and is not that far behind the Akasa in terms of build quality and cooling.

wellibob · 15 Apr 2007 at 20:08

I agree the PC7 is a good case, it`s just so boring to look at !

NZXT lexa ***!

it says at the bottom of the description on ocuk website:

12cm front and rear fans are included to provide maximum airflow and super silent operation

whats so bad about it

, looks eye pleasing some nice space to work in and is at an ok price, i was going to get the antec nine hundred but the psu at the bottom freaks me out, as i say, more suggestions please

also ps PC-7 looks kind of "non" eye pleasing i want a clear side panel and it to look neat and tidy, unlike most of the gaming NZXT case's if you catch my drift.
