Hi all,

I recently set up my SLI and was thinking of buying a new, more spacious case for my rig.

Current case I have is:
1 x BitFenix Shinobi Midi Tower USB 3.0 German Edition Windowed Case - Black/Red/Gold £59.99
Total : £69.59 (includes shipping : £8.00).



Would anyone be able to recommend possibly a midi case such as this with a 'better' layout? Or a full sized case that's reasonably priced?

Thanks.

Rig spec:
|| Intel 4670K || Alpenföhn Groß || MSI NVIDIA GTX 770 2GB x2 (2 way SLI) || MSI Z87-G45 || Patriot Venom 2x 4GB (2400MHz) || Samsung 840 (250GB) SSD || SuperFlower Leadex GOLD 750W || BitFenix Shinobi (German Edition) ||

|| Asus VN247H || Samsung SyncMaster T190 || TT eSports Theron 5600 DPI ||
|| Qpad Mk-80 (Blue Switches) || 2013 Astro MixAmp Pro || 2013 Astro A40 ||

PS. I was looking to get a 240mm rad for a closed loop liquid cooler for my CPU. So space for that is a must.

I would suggest the Phanteks Enthoo Pro, great value case & loads of space for watercooling options.

Cheers all

^^^^^^^^^^^^

I'd be looking at the BitFenix Ronin, Corsair 300R, Enthoo Pro ofc, Corsair 230T and the Phantom 240
 
I think I've decided to go for the midi Enthoo. Best case I've been recommended by friends and the community on Overclockers Forums. Thanks again to all who replied to this thread, very greatly appreciated!

really quite a bad case for the price now-a-days, similar £45 cases have more features! HDD sleds, tool-less mounting etc

Its a shame you don't like this case as I have found it to be a very good case, I must have been through more than 30 cases in my time and the build quality of this rage is fantastic, as for tool-less mounting I am not a fan of anything other than HDD's being tool-less and the internal bays are tool-less and the tow front mounted are removable so quite easy to change drives. as for price I do agree that this should be cheaper than it is by £30 or so but you do get what you pay for.

Yes but in comparison to something like the 750D, which would you rather have for the money? :D

I know you are probably going to shoot me over this one but while the 750D is a very smooth looking case I do like the wacky look of the Haf X plus the built in roof mounted fans but cases are like cars ... sometimes even if its a bad idea if you like it you buy it :-)
 
Yeah the looks are decent (in some peoples eyes) but the features are of those from like 5 years ago. I agree with what someone said earlier somewhere on the forums, that CM are just producing the same cases over and over again but just changing the names
