Need help finding a cheap case

Robert_G · 10 Feb 2015 at 17:07

Hi guys, I need help finding cheap case. It will need enough space to house a full size ATX board and a giant GPU measuring 305(L)X 114(W)X 47(H).
Must have good airflow, match a blue colour scheme and not be too big, as it will be sat on a desktop (around the size of my current Z9 max).
Ideally it will be less that £100 including delivery too

. This is a nightmare really, didn't think the card would be so big and I can't really find anything suitable within my price range at the moment. I wish the cards dimensions were on the advert.

Do you think OCUK would exchange it? It only arrived today and hasn't been fitted. Obviously the box has been opened though.

that's a stretch for you, but a much better case, unfortunately the really good cases are around 85 to 100 quid..

not sure about sending the card back, you'd have to speak to them

That pretty nice and within my price range. I was also looking at this: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-024-AD&groupid=2362&catid=2177

It says there is space for a card of up to 348mm, but I watched a review and the reviewer said larger 290 cards wouldn't fit. I really like the concept of having the PSU and stuff in a separate compartment.

I have the Enthoo pro and with the drive cages taken out it has loads of room for big gfx cards and plenty of air flow, I have had the sapphire tri x, powercolor pcs+ and now 295x2 in it with no issues.

Cheers for the input guys. Went with the Enthoo in the end.

right choice, i never use the lower drive cages they are stripped out instantly, i also never have more than one Drive and it's always placed behind the mobo..

the top drive bays are where i place the fan controller, see my link below

all my PCs are modded and with the Phanteks you might need to remove the front 200mm fan, it's way too noisy, the Phanteks is maybe the best case in the world, only the Lian Li will challenge it.... but the In-Win has that something very special......``style``, but i cant use it yet because Amazon has lost my new fans..
