New Desktop Case

Lee · 2 Nov 2014 at 11:30

I'm looking for a cheap desktop case (or a midi tower that will go on it's side) to fit a standard ATX board. All the ones I can find are HTPC cases which tend to be a bit pricier. Would just get a normal midi tower but the optical drive will not be orientated the correct way.

Anyone have any recommendations ? Budget is less than £50 (ish).

External optical drive?

It's an option but not something I'd prefer to do. Thanks.

Unless I've misunderstood, most optical drives have clips which will let them work vertically.

Thanks Billysielu, that one is a candidate.

Unworthybean, I'll look into that. It's for my dad though so may be a bit fiddly for him !

That thing with the clips is true, it actually works pretty good, but people don't trust it.
