Really need to replace my case as its been 5+ years now (chieftec dragon) and have about £90 to spend. Currently looking at the cm690 advanced 2 and the antec 902 not overly bothered about noise but want enough space so that when i upgrade from my 4870 its going to fit. Thanks guys :)
 
Got a 902 and it's sexy ;) good room inside and unless you're using more than 3 HDD's you'll not have any trouble fitting any GFX in :)

If you do have more than 3 HDD's then you'll get away with cards up to 12" long provided the connectors are at the side and ~11" if they're at the end (maybe more with some sneaky wiring)

My Fractal Design fits a 4870 in handily. The newer cards seem to have the power adapters at the side so that they are not as long. The lancool K62 is also just within your budget and a pretty fantastic case.

I'd recommend the haf 922 if you're looking for a big case. I've been confused about if it fits in the bigger cards like a 5870 though :confused: Still it's about 100 mm more depth than a antec 902 if I remember right so it should be able to. The reviews on it are very good too. On the other hand antec 900's get great reviews too.
 
The haf has more 200 mm fans which being bigger generally push more air out, I'd imagine it's the better case for cooling but not perfectly sure. If you're not wanting to bother with extra fans the antec has 1 more extra fan come as standard though. Still I'd be more tempted by the Haf IF you are wanting the bigger cards down the line with it having a bigger size.

either of these, they are just better cases than the antec and the cm. but if i had to choose from op's, i'd choose the cm, only reason is i prefer it over the antec.
 
Probably worth scraping together another £25 and going for an Antec P183, will last you a long time.
