need a new case.

window · 2 Apr 2009 at 22:17

i bought a high street computer and over time have been upgrading bits and bobs. next on my list is a case as i now cannot close the one i have.

my requirements are simple it should be as cheap as possible. Big and spacious so any combersome person can fit whatever needs to go inside.

I dont care about cooling, aesthitics or anything else at the moment as its my first case and will be upgraded once i get more familiar with building rigs.

So spec me a case that is user friendly, cheap and spacious.

Either would be an excellent choice.

Had a look at both. I dont know anything about anything really so am drawn to the coolermaster one purely based on £20 cheaper. Would anyone be kind enough to give me some pros and cons about these cases pls (and possibly others for future reference ie whats the difference between the antec 300 and 900 models)

I would say are you willing to pay for the antec 300 good looks.
The 900 has more room, holds more fans and a bigger fan at the top.

so your saying the extra £20 payed for the antec is mainly just for looks compared to the coolermaster?

I have the antec 300, very impressed with it (got it as part of a PSU/case bundle).

The reviews for all the suggested cases are worth reading as you can find what some people liked or where some of the illusive mounting points and cable ties are hiding.
