Need a new case (£50)

Jonny Chee · 27 Dec 2012 at 09:22

Well, it appears I need a new case after upgrading my graphics card and I have already spent all my planned budget.

So, I need a decent case for as little as possible (£50 max really).

The only potential candidate I have found so far is the Antec Three Hundred Two.

Are there any better options (bearing in mind it must hold GFX cards over 295mm).

My system:

CPU: i5 2500k
MOBO: Gigabyte Z68AP-D3
RAM: 8GB DDR3 1333
GFX: HIS HD 7950 IceQ Boost
HDD: 500GB Seagate SATA III
PSU: Seasonic G series 550w '80 Plus Gold' Modular
1 x DVD-RW

Hi, I have the original Antec 300, its a good case and all but I wouldnt bother with another one if it was me.

I would go for this for your budget http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-107-CA&groupid=2362&catid=1489&subcat=

Takes GPUs 320mm long

However

This looks an awesome case if you can stretch, the front intakes are moved to the right hand side which I think is a great idea, I know a little too much though.

Thanks, that 200r looks really nice, in fact I'm now swaying more towards that than the Three Hundred Two...

Bitfenix shinobi

take a look, I can't be too bothered to promote it right now, but it is good

Whats the largest GPU that the Shinobi can fit kd?

A shinobi will be fine with your gpu.
If you had a gpu that exhausted into the case, I wouldn't recommend the Shinobi from personal experience.

Xigmatek Midgard II is a better choice as it looks very much like a Shinobi but has better airflow and interior options.

Ended up purchasing a Corsair 200R.
