Morning all.

I'm putting plans together to get a new PC build sorted.

Looking at cases this morning. Man there are way to many options......

I'm looking for a recomendation for £100 or less. Unless there is a real good reason I'd simply begrudge spending any more (though happy to look IF there is a good reason).

Not sure what you guys need to know from me to make the recomendation.

I'm looking at two builds. Budget under £1000 or something pushing more towards £1500-£1750 Almost certainly doing the fan cooling route as never played with watercooling before and to be honest: Water+inside PC just plain scares me.

Couple more things.
  • Not at all interested in 'glowy' things.
  • Will hoover the front plate once per month
  • Will open and hoover the main body one per quarter
  • Will upgade it in another 5 years (maybe)
  • I'm an amateur installer so this is probably the catch. Something easy to install into is probably more expensive right?
  • 45/46cms high.

Thanks

It is over your budget I admit, but this is my current case. I have the version without fan holes in the front but apart from that it's it same.

Includes decent fans too and has much room to build into.

There are many other cases on the market but I only have experience of this in the last 6 years.

Edit: just noticed your height restrictions. This will be a little too big.

didnt know if not glowy meant you didnt want glass, although the below are available in either

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £252.75 (includes shipping: £20.82)​

Thanks guys. Will take a look at all the recomendations.

Funnily enough, I had put the BQ PB500 in my basket as I liked the look of it.

In terms of glowy I meant LED's. However as the machine is in a unit I do not need a glass side. I don't mind if its there I just don't want to pay extra for it.
