Looking to fit that mobo and a long 3D card (BFG 295).

The more room the better, £50 budget.

the antec 300 is still one of best in its budget, a bit basic by nowadays standards but solid and competent, if you want extra space youd be best spending a bit more and looking at coolermaster dominator or something, bout 62 quid though

Why are you skimping out on a decent case when your filling it with such expensive components, thats like buying a 106 and putting £10,000 worth of mods in it...

watch some reviews of cases or something

Because the case will be on the floor, out of the way therefore won't be looked at much. Really like that Thermaltake VK9000 case you linked me to though.

And a bit skint atm hence £50

NZXT do pretty cool cases but I've never seen one by them over £60.

Yeah pretty much made my mind up with this:

Says it fits 10.5" cards but i'm not sure how much leeway i'll have after one is fitted. Does seem to have very good ventilation and the front meshed panel looks like a laugh to mess about with. Might hop on a CNC machine and make a little fan bracket or something.

I think 10.5 would be a very very tight squeeze

Just had to change it to the Antec 300 which should be bigger I hope. Only changed it as the one I mentioned before had sold out lol.

Is the Antec 300 any good?

 

[franco_22]

Antec 300 is probably one of the most recommended cases around here so yes it is pretty good

 

[danewesley]

it doesnt matter about it being on the floor, with a 295 in there you want good airflow.

Shouldn't be a problem with the 300. OP just make sure you fit two 120mm fans to the front panel, and it's safe ;]
