Hello guys, I've just got my account activated so I'm quite happy now. :D

Anyway, on to the question!

I'm looking for a decent case, the requirements pretty much are:

- Big and lots of space
- Nice side window
- Nice Circulation ( Maybe nice for a water cooling rig later on, might go water cooling)

Thanks guys! :D
 
Without a budget it's difficult to recommend anything, but;

Akasa Eclipse 62 with Window Kit - £97+Allow £20 for fans
Lian-Li PC7-Plus with Window Kit - £80 (incl. fans, but needs £20 of fans for silence)
Antec Super Lanboy (great value) - £34 (The blue LED's have scarred my retina's!)

These are all well built with 120mm fans front and back for easy ventilation. The Lanboy is tight to work in, but very compact. The Lian-Li is probably the midi-tower reference case at the moment with basic features and fantastic build quality while the Akasa is the big beast of the three with loads of space and lots of features. Build quality is not quite as good as the Lian-li.

You would be happy with any of them!
 
Thanks a lot for the reply. Appreciate it, I'll check out the cases and report back :)

Edit: Budget is around £80 btw, and at the moment Im concidering:


Lian-Li PC7-Plus with Window Kit - £80 (incl. fans, but needs £20 of fans for silence)
Antec Super Lanboy (great value) - £34 (The blue LED's have scarred my retina's!)

But not really sure yet. Anyone else got more recomendations? And thanks again WJA96

Lian Li PC7+.

You will be copying about 200 people from the forum before you getting this case, but nobody seems annoyed yet. :p

It can just about fit a watercooling system inside, comes well within budget allowing you to get some really good fans with the case. Akasa Ambers+. :)

All I would consider personally has been said by WJA96, although if you do plan on going to water cooling in the future, which is £150+ I would recommend you spend the extra and get the Eclipse without the side panel now, pick one up later.

Getting the Eclipse makes your life easier when choosing a RAD for your water cooling. (worth the extra if you want watercooling.)

Just air cooling, then the PC7+ everytime. :p
