Spec me: Full tower case

[Katsumoto]

Would like to have some advice on a full tower case. It has to be full tower just so you know. Any advice on which ones are best (gaming-wise, possibly looking to water-cool not decided yet) would be fantastic.

Willing to spend a max of £400.

My desk has a ground clearance of 695 mm. Not really anywhere to put it on the desk nor next to it so pretty much must fit beneath this. Real shame as the Coolermaster Cosmos 2 had taken my fancy but i'm 10mm short of the space required

£400 is a lot to spend on a case...

I recommend you have a look at the Shinobi XL. For £130 it's a steal, but having said that, it has some major flaws in the design IMO. It can be used for watercooling, but not easily and fitting hard drives at the same time is a ballache.

Corsair 800D. I absolutly love this case. Its mahooosive, but never worked with a case half as good as this one.

I'm happy to spend it Earning quite nicely at the moment. I'll have a look at that shinobi.

Also looks like the designer was both blind, and a cave troll.

My shortlist for a £400 case though would be:

TJ07 - Played out IMO but a beautiful thing really.
TJ11 - Over budget but still very very pretty, and there's a very nice one for sale in MM for under budget. A certain moderator is downsizing due to a severe case of Softy, we all hope he'll pull through though.
Xigmatek Elysium - Enormous, styling is a bit to industrial for my liking but good value.
