Spec me a Case

[Azraeluk]

Hi guys

I am currently thinking of changing my case as I am due to do a fan swap and my current case is getting a bit long in the tooth and I suspect isn't the most efficient at keeping things cool.

Atm I am using a Chieftec CX01 that Noah brought in on the ark.

The system going into the new case will be a

Gigabyte Z77-D3H
i5 3750k @ 4.2 (would like to get it to 4.4)
Gigabyte 7950 Windforce
3x SATA HDD's
1x SATA SSD
1x SATA DVD-R/RW

The cooler and reason for the "I fancy a change" is a Corsair H80. I plan on replacing the stock Corsair fans with two 120mm Akasa Venoms to improve air flow and reduce noise.

I am looking for a case of a similar size to the one I currently have and I am on a budget of around £60 can any one give me some suggestions?

On my personal list thus far are the NZXT 230 (I hear I might get heat issues) and the Antec 300 Two. There is also an Enermax iVector which looks quite nice to.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

YOUR BASKET
1 x BitFenix Ronin Tower Case - Black £69.95
1 x Corsair Carbide 300R Mid Tower Case - Black (CC-9011014-WW) £65.99
1 x Antec One Gaming Case - Black £49.99
Total : £206.15 (includes shipping : £16.85).



My preference would go in order of price (high to low, obviously). Unfortunately the Ronin has been out of stock for a while. The 300R should suit you nicely. There is also a windowed version for £15 more.

Cheers for the reply I think the 300r is my current front runner

Around £10 more would get you a Define R4. MUCH more feature rich case than the Corsair 300R.

i have just bought a 300r and would recommend it to anyone wanting to spend around that much money!
its very nice,
good cable management
good airflow, loads of fan mounts and you can either stick the h80i on the back one or even on one of the top ones if you still want the back as exhaust

and looks nice too
