hi guys

im after a new case, i've had a beantech igloo for about 4 years and im getting pretty bored of it. its also noisy even with 3x 8cm amber fans.

i want something with a sidewindow and preferably 2x 12cm fans. i like the armour case but its a bit big and pricy, i think it will also be noisy with all the fans its got.

ive got 2x cd rom and 2x hdd so dont need out massive

this is my current case and its pretty dull so any recommendations would be great

you forgot to tell us your budget (unless you dont have one)

out decent for <£100 ?

Amtec P182 imho, but then case choice is largely a personal thing.

Akasa Eclipse 62 with Side Window or Lian Li PC7+ II with side window panel would be my suggestions. Dull, I know, but good.

i think ill get the Thermaltake VA3000SWA Tsunami looks a lot nicer then what ive not now and its a good price

hi guys, i ended up getting an armour case. i'm a bit disappointed with the build quality considering how much it cost but the cooling is very good. heres some pics

Antec 900. Studier build quality than the Thermaltake and cheaper. (Not that I'm slating the Thermaltake of course).

Still crap quality overall though.

Same with the P182, really not in the same league as a Lian Li.
I'd love to say the Eclipse is a league above too, but due to the allumium being quite thin in places it can easily be argued back down

That case in the OP does look like a Lian Li on the outside mind!

it is basically a lian li but smaller, you can't beat them for the quality
