Upgrade time. Need a new case. Help!! Please

UniZero · 15 Jan 2013 at 15:45

As the title suggests I am looking to upgrade my system. I will be ordering the overclocked bundle deal below and I need to get new case. I currently have a 6 year old Antec P180. The case will house a Radeon 6850 gfx card, Corsair 750W psu and 3 hdd's and I will probably pick up a new burner as well.

I wanted to spend around £100 (maybe slightly) more if it is worth it. I have been looking at a few cases and I am unsure which one to get.

What I am looking for is one that has good air flow and good cable management. I would also like if possible if the case had dust filters supplied. Would it be worth it to replace the fans that come with the case as I read in these forums that the supplied fans are usually not the great.

I have linked some a couple below but I am unsure which one to go for.

Also maybe this one but slightly more.

Sorry for the long post I did not (I hope I did not) want to miss out any information.

Any help would be most appreciated.

I'd suggest the 500r.

Stick with the p180,superb case and still looks/works well even today.

Have you thought of a Silverstone RV03?

I am biased because I have one and love it, but it does meet all your criteria. The champagne strip one (that I have) is under £100, with the grey strip slightly over. They will easily fit your components, have great air flow and cable management, dust filters and the stock fans are really good so won't need replacing.

The only issue is looks - some people love them, some hate them.

I am leaning towards this one myself.

As you say it was and still is a good case but unfortunately lacks cable management so it is hard to keep everything tidy.

I have my parts but not put them together yet. I got this fan with my bundle. Can anybody tell me, cause the fan looks bloody huge, if it will fit ok within the Corsair 500R case I got.

thanks
