I have just built a Q6600 system out of parts I've bought 2nd hand and it flies. The only thing I want to change is the Case because I don't like the case I've got and cable management in the case isn't very easy cuz everything's quite tight.

I've currently got it all in a Lian-Li PC7+ but would prefer something more attractive (I quite like the look of the Antec Sonata Plus 550 but don't need a PSU) but also looking for something that will be good for cable management.

Maybe even would like easy access to the hard drives but that may be asking too much for my budget.

EDIT: Budget £100-£150 without PSU

Any suggestions?

what is your budget, otherwise it will be the silverstone fortress, the case I have is not a looker :P
 
Yeah, as above, the P182 (I have one) and P183 are good choices too. They have very good cable management and decent cooling, plus are quite understated in looks, not LEDs everywhere and massive fans with windows.

I'd be tempted to go with the P183 now as it allows larger PSU's, which may also make the management a fair bit easier. It's suggested it also has better airflow but that new door does ruin the looks imo. You'll have to call that one for yourself. There is a large thread in case central on the P182.

If you search the forums for some FT-01 (fortress) builds you'll also see there are some VERY tidy examples.

You could Always go for an Antec P182 or P183 which are quite nice cases.

Theres always the Fortress as well which you'll get plenty of people suggesting :)

Or, a little over the top end of your budget is theCoolermaster Cosmos S, very nice but a bit too expensive for you I think?

Thanks for all the suggestions so far. I like the look of the Silverstone Fortress. Used to have a P180 (similar to P182/183) but didn't like the door too much.
 
Yea, Im not so keen on the doors on cases either. Like alexhull said, do a quick search of the forums and you'll find some quality builds in fortress's, shows what can be done with them :)
 
Fortess.

I used to have a P182 and the Fortress is way better. Easily the best case under £150 unless you need a full tower.
 
Im not a big fan of the HAF. Inside it looks great!! Got excellent cable management and plenty of room for fitting everything in. Its the outside... its just straight up ugly haha
