Hi, I'm looking for a case that has plenty of room for some 7950's and that will pretty much fit any size cpu cooler happily. I'd like something that's good with cable management as well since I like a nice airflow in the case. If anybody has any suggestions on which case I should get, I'd be thankful. I don't want to spend anything above £80 either. Thanks :D
 
That fits what I was looking for, but I'd prefer a case that was a little more sleek looking, I quite like the CM 690 ii advanced, what's your opinion on that?

That looks sufficient for your needs. Don't blame you about the looks though, when it comes to the HAF series of cases it's either a love/hate situation.
 
CM 690II was in my shortlist. Went for a black windowed Shinobi instead though. Love the looks, good cable management and the SofTouch finish is niiiice
 
Thanks; that Fractal Design Define R3 looks sweet, is there anything I should take note of before buying that? I can't really see anything wrong with it and for that price it looks like a bargain :p
 
I got mine used with no fans and put Akasa FN053 PWM fans in. I'm sure the stock fans are fine. I added a 140mm Thermalright TY-140 in bottom and a Silverstone magnetic filter. Filter because to clean stock filter you need to lay case on it's side and with magnetic one (added a piece of ribbon) I can just reach under and pull it off to clean. I also removed the feet and made a custom caster base with 60mm clearance for better airflow to bottom fans.

When installing HDDs just snug the screws. Any tighter and noise dampening doesn't work as well.
