Most cases with a 120 millimeter fan at the back. These can accomodate 160mm tall CPU coolers, which includes the NH-D14. If you have a specific case in mind, you can check on the net for builds with that combination. These are pretty easy to find.

Budget?

 

[terryuk22]

up to £100 or even 2nd hand

There are many cases that fit the bill.
It'd be easier for her to have a browse and you can post a shortlist here to make sure it's all good

I have the black version of the case and an NH-D14; I can confirm that it fits without any problems whatsoever.

well she love's it now onto the matter of cooling another thread i think as she thinking about water cooled

 

[olivier renault]

A word on the 500R, since I have one.

It's got great internal layout, plenty of room for everything, well built, gets a bit dusty, and not terribly insulated for noise, although quiet idling. Not sure about water cooling.

 

[Uncle Petey]

Just thought I'd mention this too. Offers better watercooling compatibility should she need it. Otherwise, go 500R.
