Hello everyone (:

I am looking to buy a new case for my rig, to keep things nice and cool and allow me to expand in the future.

I have a budget of about £120, and am currently looking at the NZXT Phantom, does anyone else have any suggestions for this price range?

Any help will be greatly appreciated :)

Without a doubt. The Antec Twelve Hundred. Its got loads of room, some of the best air cooling and its really easy to keep things tidy in there with the back plate.

They are a couple of quid more than your bugdet, but the extra £5 makes all the difference.

Seriously, I swear by this case.

Personally I have the Antec 902 currently, the smaller version of the 1200. With out a doubt the cooling capabilities of this and 1200 are fantastic, the build quality is great however after owning it for over a year I dont like the way its been thought out, for a start there is no motherboard tray cut out for you to get at the backplates and to get at the dust filters etc and give your case a good clean is a ball ache of the highest order!!!
 
Yeah, I was tempted by the Antecs, but I'm just worried about the dust build up, as I find it a little annoying. :/

Does the 1200 have dust filters? :)

Yup, on all 3 of the front 120mm fans :) I also have it and love it! :)

However to get to them you need to remove both side panels, unscrew the hard drive cages and disconnect the cables to both the fans and hard drives etc... the big boy at the top is a nightmare to clean full stop!
