New case advice

Hello all

Im just about to upgrade my case as its starting to get abit overloaded and no chance ill be able fit an 8800GTX in.

Can anybody recommend a good quality case

Must have at least 6x5.25 drive bays
Enough space for an 8800GTX
Good airflow
And plenty of space for cooling fans

Im a heavy gamer etc. so need plenty of space for airflow and future upgrades.

I prefere to spend the extra money on more important components, hence im willing to spend at most £100 ish.

Cheers

the Akasa Eclipse 62 is a good case and at that price to you cant go wrong,
the only thing some ppl dont like it is becoz it as a plastic front end.
but apart from that its the best 1 for cooling

if it had a aluminium front end it would be the best selling case on the market

tho is still sells really well as it is

i think the Akasa Mirage 62 as the same inside layout
