Need help for choosing a case.

[Vida]

Currently have a Dell Inspiron 620S, and I'm very much used to the small tower size.

I'm working on building a new computer, and all of the cases just seem to be huge in comparison. Is there much in-between?

I like the look of these for reference sake: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/sear.../sPerPage/12/sFilter_category/Cases+&+Modding

Would love any recommendation you could offer.

What kind of budget are you looking at?

And what hardware are you trying to fit in it? ATX? Micro ATX?

Since having a corsair case I havnt looked back, good thought out design, great solid build and find it hard to recommend any other cases.

Pretty much any Phanteks case....

Sorry for the delay. I'd be willing to send up to around £100. I notice several are about £110, which is fine.

I don't know what ATX/Micro ATX is but hopefully this basket can give you an idea for what I'll be building. It's not exact but an accurate representation:

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Asus Z170 Sabertooth Mark 1 USB 3.1 Intel Z170 (Socket 1151) DDR4 ATX Motherboard= £209.99
• 1 x Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz (Skylake) Socket LGA1151 Processor - Retail= £329.99
• 1 x Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C15 3000MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2B30= £99.95
• 1 x Asus GeForce GTX 970 DirectCU II OC Strix 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £275.99
• 1 x Fractal Design Edison M 750W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply= £79.99
• 1 x Samsung 250GB 850 EVO SSD 2.5" SATA 6Gbps 32 Layer 3D V-NAND Solid State Drive (MZ-75E250B/EU)= £62.99
• 1 x Seagate 2TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache HDD - OEM (ST2000DM001)= £59.99
• 1 x Alpenföhn Matterhorn Black CPU Cooler= £39.95
• 1 x BitFenix Ronin Tower Case - Black= £69.95

Total: £1,241.99
(includes shipping: £13.20)

Thanks Luggs, I really like the first one all except the colour unfortunately, and the 2nd one is also nice but I'm not a fan of the LED's. I think we must have similar taste though as those two definitely caught my eye the first time I browsed through overclockers.

I'm leaning toward this case now though: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cors...ower-case-black-cc-9011078-ww-ca-207-cs.html#

If anyone has any feebdack or critique on that choice I'd love to hear it!

Your reply is all I ever dreamed of.

I like the 750D airflow edition but apparently the front fans have LED's on them? Is it possible to turn the LED's off?

Same for the internal LED's?

I have just upgraded my case to a Cooler master mastercase pro 5. The cabel management is awesome and its fully modular so a very clean looking case.
