Well, i have decided i will probably have to get a new PC Case. With a baby looming on the horizon i think i should put my Coolermaster 201 into storage (Wardrobe) as i don't want little fingers prodding it.

So, i want a desktop case. I love how quiet my existing PC is so any suggestions as to what case i could get? I am thinking of keeping my existing Motherboard etc so a case to accomodate my existing hardware might be a good idea, that is, unless someone can convince me to get a smaller case that will perform the same (Quiet). Here is my current spec:

AMD 3500 Venice, Thermalright SI-120, Asus A8NE-Premium Mobo, NEC DVDRW, 80G Hard Drive, 7600 GT 256mb Graphics Card, Seasonic 500w PSU.

I look forward to your ideas and views. As for budget, well, lets see what is available and go from there. Thanks people
 
Will these accomodate my Mobo etc? I don't want to go and buy a different mobo etc. I currently us a Thermalright SI-120 heatsink and an 120mm fan. Would these fit in a Silverstone Desktop case?

I quite like the look of the Lascala cases. Wouldn't have to change anything! All my components would fit!! Nice price too. I like a quiet system so i could make it so with a bit of tweaking! Thanks guys
 
My 201 is Alu and is superb at keeping things cool. I am thinking now that i may change my desk and get one with a cupboard built in for my PC case. I can then mod the cupboard by cutting a square on the inside and putting a mesh there and doing the same with the door. That way it would be safe from little fingers and also kept cool.

What do you think guys?
 
Yea, Yewen, good idea mate. Not got any case fans in the case at the mo but if i put it in a cupboard i think it would be a good idead to have some fans.

Anyone got any PC desks that would fit my need?
 
Still undecided about a new case guys. Don't think i will be looking at a desktop one now. Looking at getting a Midi with a door. I have a 201 in use now but will put that away as little finger can do a lot of harm!!

Quite like these:

What is the difference between the 732 and the 730?
 
Na, i like Coolermaster mate. Always have. Door looks the same to me!! lol

Anyway, the case needs to have a door.

EDIT: Just noticed that one of them has a wavey door! :D
