Need a new case

[clukker]

Hi I'm looking for a new case my current one is a bit ragged and falling apart


I currently have an Antec P182 SE Mid Tower Case

Inside I've got a
100 watt power supply
2 gtx chunky monkey 8800s
Fatal1ty sound card
I forgot make of mobo but is a republic of gamers one with Intel Q6600
Things are pretty crowded in there and was looking for a case that might give me a bit of room.

I didn't build it myself but looking forward to oc it and updating it over the next few months. So access will need to be relatively easy if that's at all possible.

Sorry relatively new to all this and not sure if there is any other info I need to include. But any help would be really helpful.

i think you mean 1000W

100 would be a bit EEK

 

[clukker]

Woops yeah 1000W Its a hungry monster with lots of wires. Sorry bout that

 

[rolypolyman]

Well, I've just bought this and for the price its amazing value.

 

[Orcvader]

What bugdet? Since you have an Asus ROG motherboard, I'll assume you need a case that can fit ATX.

 

[clukker]

Not too sure. Was thinking roughly at the 50-80 pounds mark. Or is that unrealistic?

Just ignore me guys I'm not really here.

Well its a toss up between

or

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-065-AN&tool=3

The main thing I'm concerned about is all those cables from my PSU too my SLI graphics cards is currently a *******. If they are the same for cabal management I would probably go for the Antec 900 as most reviews.

sorry rolypolyman didn't see your link earlier

Can I be the first to recommend this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-026-CS&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=1489 not out yet but does look like a cracking mid budget case would swap my ft01 for one.

 

[clukker]

Woops i ment http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-006-XG&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=

Corsair is nice but a bit pricey

 

[C64]

If you can stretch to £85 http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-005-LN&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=1447

Quite like the look of that, are lancool cases basically lian li's, but manufactured from steel as opposed to aluminium?

Correct. Very solid cases, Lian Li looks and style without the creakiness and HDD rattle. Although brushed aluminium is very sexy.

 

[setter]

I thought the internals looked very familiair, using a Lian Li A70F here, the brushed aluminium finish is nice, but i gotta admit ive never experienced any creaking or hdd vibration, all my drives are mounted on rubber grommets.

Out of the 2 on your shortlist go for the xigmatek, cable management in the 900 is not easy unless a few mods are used.
