[Snookums]

Like the title says I'm looking for a new case. I need to get the best airflow i can, I'm on a bit of a tight budget these are the two im looking at

or

The second one has more space for fans etc but the first one comes with 2 fans stock. if the second one is really worth it can someone also recommend a 180mm front fan to go with it please.

Obviously if the second one is much better of an offer ill have to wait till my student finance comes through (thank you government)

Ditch both, they look pretty poor imo. For £40, this is a good one

Rubber grommets, two fans, good drive bays. Nice case.
What components are going into it?

BitFenix Neos @ £30 is also good, Xigmatech Mach @ £20, Zalman Z3 Plus with a gazillion fans @ ~£40

All these are good shouts for your budget.

Thanks I think I'm going to go with the z3, more fans sounds appealing to me.

Was thinking of paying the extra £10 for a Z9 +, is it worth it?

Bitfenix Neos is a really good shout if you're prepared to get the dremel out and mod it a little. £30, can't go wrong.

just seen this case on offer, http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-541-LL&groupid=2913&catid=2967 wondering what the thought on it are? a £90 case for £60 and the build quality on it looks great, I know it has no front intake fans but it has space for 3 140mm fans. What do you guys think?

That looks a great value case, looks more expensive and premium than it actually is.

Yeah i thought the same thing but after reading some reviews online I've realised that design is quite bad. Lian li cases us a bottom pull and top push fan system and with my card the airflow coming from the bottom will be blocked, 'sigh'. back to the drawing board for a case it is then.
