I currently have an Antec one case, it's a bit small and it's loud

I want something bigger so I've got more air flow and I want something as silent as possible

Budget of around £80 - What can I get guys

I've seen the Antec P100 is this a good buy? I don't feel their are enough fans that can go in it though .....
 
Phanteks Enthoo Pro with some good fans would be quiet. P100 is a good silence optimised case, Corsair 330R is also decent
 
Phanteks is a full tower and is basically fully kitted out, watercooling bracket, laods of HDD and SSD bays, PSU cover etc. The other two are more of a silence optimised case and mid-towers
 
Wondering how much the p100 would be an upgrade over my Antec one - They look to be about the same size - Just want something that offers less noise and more cooling
 
It will definitely be quieter, but the better cooling I'm not so sure as the foam may obstruct air flow a bit

You could go for an Enthoo Pro type case and upgrade the fans and then set them up nicely in a fan curve using something like speedfan should your motherboard support it

There's also the Phantom 240, BitFenix Ronin

Yeah that's quite a lot haha (8 fans!), and not many cases have 2x120mm/140mm rear exhaust fans either!

I have seen some before but they're really expensive

Still can't make my mind up though which one to get..... I originally wanted focus on silence but now I want a bigger case and better cooling

Hm, ok

If you get something with one/two intake fans and an exhaust, the H75 can go in the rear exhaust position so that's one free fan. That rear fan from the case can go in the roof, that's another exhaust, then you got the two in the front and possibly add another intake in the floor/side?

+1/2 fans of course
Should all take the fans just fine
 
I don't get what this means in the specs of it though

COOLING 120mm fan 140mm fan 200mm fan
- Front 2x 2x 1x (included)
- Top 3x 3x 1x
- Rear 1x 1x (1x included)
- Bottom 2x 1x
- HDD cage 2x -

What are all the 2x 2x 1x etc

Can't be number of fans
 
Hmm, yeah looks like an error. I'd imagine it's 2x in the front and you get a 200mm included. The top will have 3 slots, rear 1, bottom and HDD cages 2 combined

Phanteks site: http://www.phanteks.com/enthoo-pro.html

Scroll down a bit, looks fine there. Looks like that chart was just copy pasted into the OCUK description
 
Looks like it's just 1 200MM in the front, 2 in the top and one on the rear

No side fan though - Only just realised - Could be a deal breaker as my GPU gets very hot
