im looking for a case for my biuld. size is not a factor, neither is weight or looks. i dont want any sliding HDD trays or expensive motherboard mounts. the only thing i want is decent constuction and a good cooling system. im goint to overclock this PC so cooling is important. i think ill go for a 140mm fan because i want it as quiet as possible. ive no idea where to get one or what i can get so any advice is verry welcome. thanks. steve

You need to be little more specific...
Like what's number of HDD and 5.25" bays you'll be needing.
Also what' the budget?
Also for case to be quiet it has to be able to dampen noise of components because for example graphics cards have rarely quiet cooler and HDDs make seek noises etc.

140mm fans aren't that plentiful at the moment so unless there's some of them with good bearing/motor noise level per moved amount of air might not be any better.

i dont have a set budget for my case because i dont know what a good one is worth. ill only need one HDD space, 1 Optical Drive space and one or two max extras (for things like front usb ports but these arnt essential. so two minimum.
i want it as quiet as possible so something that dampens noise but id rather it was noisy and cool than quiet and sufocating. the biggest thing for me in it is that it provides lots of cooling because i dont have anymoney to buy new overheated parts and i will overclock. im probably paranoid but id rather spend another £10 on a case if it meens the £100 parts inside are safer/working better.

if you give us your maximum price and some info about your setup we will suggest the best case?
Ie you can get a good case for £50 ish, that will be cool when you fit another £30 of fans but will be unusable if your running crossfire, with a huge cooler and 4 HDs.
