Hi guys,
I recently added a third hard drive to my ageing Antec P182 and suddenly realised that it had taken me well over 45 minutes to route the new cables, fit the drive etc. and generally have a bit of a clear up?!
I've now decided that its time for something new and up to date
^^ This isn't the only reason for wanting to upgrade, there are a couple of other little niggles I've got with the case - the fact that I have to use extension cables for my USB 3.0 devices is a big one. I've also recently moved the tower to under a desk and its a strain to reach the power button because of its position... - seemingly little things to some, but my minds made up now and I won't be swayed.
So, what are my options? My budget is set at £100 although if there's something special just beyond that threshold I am flexible. I'm also banking on getting back about £50 from the sale of the P182?
My main spec for the new case is: must have excellent modern cable management, front USB 3.0 ports, top or high positioned power switch, good ventilation and if fitted with a door, enough room for the knobs on my Zalman fan controller
I'll start things off; I like the look of the Corsair 330R - it *looks* like a nice case?
Thanks.
