Need A New Case

£100 maybe abit more if its worth it, I looked at the new silverstone case but :eek: at the price. I looked abit more into the akasa eclipse 62, looks like an alright case, I dont want it to be all plasticy and horrible looking, more defined if you know what I mean ;).
 
I have just gone off the akasa eclipse due to it has a plastic front, exactly what I dont want.

The Lian-Li PC-101 looks very nice buy the inside of it looks very confusing. :confused:.

I was looking at the CoolerMaster Stacker 830 and I cant see whether it has a window side panel or not, anyone got one can comfirm this? I read reviews looks and sounds be a nice/good case, I just want one with a window panel. Thanks.

Ive got a Lian Li v2000 which has a similar layout to the pc-101. (Internals of v2000 and pc-201 are same and are the big brothers of v1000/pc-101) And i love the internal layout. Imo its much better than the standard atx way of doing things. The only slight issue is with motherboards that use heatpipes, although people who have tested this combination have reported that they run fine, although a little warmer than usual.

As for the Coolermaster stacker.. great case. Well the 810 is, but the 830 suffers from certain build quality issues.
 
The stacker is huge maybe abit to big for me, I was looking at the chenbro gaming bomb 2, looks to be a nice case but will a 8800gtx fit into one? I cant measurements of the inside of the case.
 
Please don't get a chenbro gaming bomb, you will live to regret it. I have read many threads with people complaining about this case, buildquality, looks, cooling, etc.

How about something like a thermaltake armor? That comes with a windowed side panel and has excellent cooling and layout.

TT Armour is alright but I dont like the front and tbh I dont think to much of thermaltake anymore(build quality etc) as the Shark is nice but ruined by cheap plastic behind the door, I dont know what case to get, Im very picky when it comes to one lol.

I think I may try the lian li pc7 but to fit a 8800gtx you need to remove some HDD bays?(not sure).

The akasa eclipse seems to be the best choice, but I would prefer one in silver and not plastic fronted :S. The Silver Stone TJ09 is by far the nicest I've seen but its so expensive :(. Thanks or all help so far :).

Ya same here, ain't sure what to get.
 
I think that the pc7+ II has a removable hdd cage, you could then use the floppy drive bays to put your hdd(s) in.

Yep good idea, I was planning to get only 1 hdd this time anyway, so 1 hdd + 1 floppy drive :). I think il end up with the pc7+II.
